Maradona 25-1 at Paddy Power...hilarious
Big week for KMcD, a win in the Europa and beating Newcastle and I think he should be a serious candidiate to take us atleast through till January.
Friedel
Young Clark Dunne Warnock
Albrighton Reo-Coker Petrov Downing
Young
Carew
Ireland to be brought on 20 mins to go for Reo-Coker or Petrov.
Gabby to get 20 mins for Carew if he's fit otherwise Delfouneso or Weimann
I think the main problem is that there are not many top class managers out of work at the moment.
Also just my opinion but a top class European manager will only come to us if he's offered a good war chest to invest in new players.
We need a manager who can attract top players because of either his playing reputation or managing ability.
A manager who is willing to buy players from worldwide leagues and bring in a scouting network to make this happen.
We need a manager who can play an attacking style of play, bulit on a strong defense.
A manager who has managed at the top level in Europe, and knows how to compete in that market.
All in all a tough recruiting job for Randy,
Our "Team" photo will be funny to see, once taken it could be out of date 2 weeks later.
Also i'm guessing the number 3 and 9 shirts are now up for grabs? with 2, 4 and 8 maybe to follow?
General glad to have you back on VillaTalk again, thanks for the info about the shirt release date, one point that wasn't addressed is that we're having a new home and away kit again this year.
Why isn't the home kit going to be used for two years? I understand the reasoning when we change manufacturer or sponsor, but we're with Nike next year and FXPro, so it just seems having two new kits next year is a bit harsh on the fans pockets.
Not a great deal of time to find a replacement, if this takes a week or two to sort out.
If Sidwell goes in the next couple of weeks as well, our starting midfield for the opening Premier League game may be Downing, NRC, Petrov, Young
Interesting to see where he will fit in with
Yaya Toure
Ireland
Barry
De Jong
Viera
Wright-Phillips
Silva
Adam Johnson
Kompany
I hope they have nice comfy bucket seats....
