Sounds good though.

I also wouldn't be suprised to see someone else follow Jota.

As in being let go or a club actually come in?

Kalinic, nyland, Lansbury, guilbert/Elmo could all probably leave without causing any worries to the squad. Who else could go without causing issues to the squad? 

I would keep Guilbert but I would add Taylor (I know people might think we need left back cover but he's hopeless), I'd also add AEG & Davis people might think that leaves us short on bodies but I'd honestly rather play someone from the youth team who is costing us 10% and is actually busting a gut to take a chance rather than the ones I've named.

Finally some sense... It would be a really bad idea to ship out 4 players as bring in 4 new ones now. Let the squad settle.

Did you not see the game last night? A lot more than 4 can go if you ask me.

29 in 8 days. Never really rated him. Blows too hot and cold

That man ate himself a few years ago by the looks of it.

Not sure why the anger is directed at him tonight. He didn't really get much to work with and did really well hold up play at times. He had one sliding attempt he should have done better with, but it's not like it was the easiest chance in the world. 

Loan would be good, but it actually requires us to sign a striker. 

Didn't have the technical ability to pull the ball back either any bit of backward direction it was a goal he hit it sideways.

I am sorry but I do not understand what anyone sees in the guy. I honestly think I would do a better job than him.

Makes no sense to play him at all.

Smith even said during the week the midfielders we had and didn't name him. I understand the lads are going to have a shift on Sunday but if Lansbury is the answer there is something wrong with the question.

Good chance for a trip to Wembley pissed away tonight giving players who aren't good enough and by the looks of it don't want to fight for a spot.

So so so so so so so so so bad.

Can someone tell him the ball goes in the goal.

These lads are so bad. I trust none of them.

So much shite in our second string

Disappointing tonight that we couldn’t score more, don’t want to lose the title on goal difference.

Did he not call the Traoré thing before loads?

The more I think about it do we need another starting LW? Jack obviously plays his best football there and if we get in a nr 8, I don’t think it’s happening.

Rather spend the money on a midfielder than a left sided forward to be honest.

Think we were definitely interested in Rashica but decided to go another way. 

Did you see the game Monday night?

I think we need 3 players still.

- striker

- left winger

- centre mid

 

Agree

Send Davis on loan there as part of the deal he’ll get 20-25 goals and be worth 20m

I think 3 is the minimum we can get in without being left completely exposed.

The game the last night shows how weak we still are in the final third relying on people like Trez, Davis is only going to get you so far. Granted Traoré was absent but still an injury to Watkins and I can’t see us scoring a lot of goals.

So good tonight. 

We badly need a few players. Striker, Winger (if not 2) and centre mid. I’d also take a new left back.

So solid and assured tonight, long may it last.

Ideally this Saturday we would hope. I can't see it taking to long to be granted one.

Anything on another striker?

Amavi, Gana, Ayew and possibly Veretout (he really did need time to settle in and even now I'm not convinced premier league would suit his style) would've all been fine dropping into a Villa team with Vlaar, Delph and Benteke in it. Instead they got Lescott, Richards, Richardson, Sanchez and Gestede alongside them.

That's why this summer is a bit frustrating. We have McGinn, Luiz and Grealish all still around so ample time to get in players of calibre of summer 2015. Might not get the chance again next summer.

I would echo this, the club was poisonous at the time. The squad now while low in quality overall (I'd fancy myself to score as many as Davis/Samatta) does seem to have a closeness.

I thinks Mings, Konsa & Cash should all be solid options in the back, I am probably one of the few who rates Fred and Targett links up well with Jack.

GK needs sorting it was such a hole for us last year when Tom got injured and it did not help the confidence of the 10 players in front of the GK.

Luiz, Jack & SJM are all very nice players, Hourihane is a solid squad player and Marvellous deserves another season.

We need wingers massively Trez and El Gazhi are not up to it and as already mentioned the strikers are a joke.

I can understand the logic in signing the likes of Wilson, he is an upgrade on what is already there maybe not Wes but he's a big lad and we can't rush him back.

However, I was hoping for young exciting talent, players bought with PL experience for me are incredibly over priced and the money could be spent better else where IMO.

Is Cash not a right back and Targett a left back?

Do people think Elmo is better than Fred? WOW

Is he not playing on Sunday?  Why would this game be his last game in a Villa shirt? 

Was asked is this your last game in a Villa shirt at Villa Park.
