If Benteke wants to leave , let him go if so. Then he doesnt deserve to be part of Villa. Thats his loss , not our loss.

 

 

 

Love it how John Carew speaks like he always gave his all for Villa. 

 

Can't deny his love for the club though

 

 

 

Thats my point, if he had loved it that much he would have given his all, all of the time. Pretty sure there were even rumours of him faking injuries. Disgrace if true.

 

Never head rumours of this - drivel

Carew is a legend mate

 

If Benteke goes we should keep Bent 

 

 

 

 

Im with you on that, however...it wont happen. Bents attitude has seen to that, and its something that has followed him around at clubs. On the plus side, Lambert must be pretty confident in having a replacement for Benteke lined up if his prepared to lo lose both players, and despite whats reported, I think he will not be an unknown.

 

Bent's attitude ?

For me Lambert seems to the one with the Bad Attitude towards Bent. 

Bent has not complained about having a useless turd Bowery playing ahead of him. 

His attitude has been fine for me - unlike for example Ireland he clearly can't be arsed. 

Bent can be arsed and wants to play say whatever you want about his work rate he scores goals. 

Something that when Bentekke goes will have little off.

I'm not saying we got a bad deal I'm saying that we didn't stand firm and make them stay.

We sold them all - could include Barry in this

 

Of course we won't do this we will lie down like a wet salmon and take it.

Did that happen with Young, Milner and Downing?

 

Yes it did 

If Benteke goes we should keep Bent 

Really disappointed in Benteke - we took a gamble on him and gave him a chance and even threw not matter what you think of a good striker to rot in the reserves.

I suspect he will go to Chelsea and link up withj Lukkaku, Hazard and De Byrune. 

I think we should hold out for 30mil or let him rot in the reserves - if we can do it to Bent who is at least 50k we can do it to Benteke - bye bye world cup place.

Of course we won't do this we will lie down like a wet salmon and take it.

Aaaaah of course !

I reckon we could get 3mil for him at least cardiff or celtic or somehing. 

 

This is a first class post & provide's great insight into the thorougness of preparation by Lambo, Karsa & the rest of the management/coaching team.

 

The bottom line is though.............and all managers will tell you this...............it's ultimately down to the players on the pitch to bring it off!

 

Just to further add that it also works both ways. You're not going to like this, but FSW deliberately allowed both our full backs the freedom to roam high up the park so that Chelski could exploit the huge space behind them in the nightmare of Stamford Bridge.

 

FSW??

Big clear out in the summer if possible. Don't think we'll offload everyone we want to but in an ideal world i'd let the following go:

 

Given, Marshall

 

Dunne, Stevens - Loan, Williams - Loan

 

Ireland, El Ahmadi, Albrighton - Loan/Sell, Holman, Makoun, Dawkins, Bannan, Herd, Johnson - loan

 

Bent, Delfouneso

 

Leaving a squad of:

 

GK Guzan, Siegreist

 

DF Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Bennett, Lichaj, Lowton

 

CM Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Gardner, Carruthers, Grealish

 

Wingers/FW N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Bowery

 

CF Benteke, Burke,  Drennan

 

 

That squad would be too light on numbers and experience but it would give some youngsters a chance to get in and around the squad - the likes of Siegreist, Grealish, Drennan, Burke make make a handful of appearances. 

 

I think Clark could move into central midfield much like David Luiz has at Chelsea (I'm not comparing the two on ability!). 

 

IMO we need to sign about 3 or 4 players who are aged around 24-28 who have a decent amount of games under their belts and have the potential sell on value. I think a CB, CM, winger and CF are required to boost the side. For me I'd be raiding Belgian players and looking in Holland and across Europe. Clearly this is where the value is - you'd never pick up a player like Benteke in England for £7million and in one season is looking like a £25-£30M player.  

 

CB: Toby Alderweireld (Ajax) - looks a handy player wouldn't be easy to get him but would be a good addition

Winger: Necer Chadli (Twente) 

CF - Jelle Vossen (Genk) / Wilfried Bony (Vitesse) - only issue with African players is the African nations every couple of years takes them away from the team for a while. 

 

Not sure on a CM but we could do with an enforcer in the mold of Fellaini/Toure but, again, someone who isn't going to cost the club £20million. Saying that I've been impressed with Sylla, Westwood and Delph lately but I'm still unconvinced we can play with just 2 CMs which is an option we could do with at times. 

 

I hope the powers that be at the club are thinking somewhere along these lines to reduce the amount of dead wood and to continue signing up and coming players whilst giving our own youth a chance. As long as we stay up of course. 

Not bad I think I would keep albrighton though been unlucky with injuries if he can recapture the form of old he one of the best crossers of the ball I have ever seen. 

I agree all those can go as well might keep holman purely for the fact he always puts a shift in although cant kick a ball

Bannan - below average at pretty much everything apart from slightly above average passing. 

 

A poorer version of reo coker.

 

I hope I'm wrong.

 

You are.

 

Agreed

Drink drivings got nowt to do with it. 

Guys been rubbish and lazy all season - gives the ball away and cant tackle !

Don't think either of them will go down, for me wigan for once wont escape !

Gary Cahill

James Milner

Ashley Young

Don't mind Ahmadi leaving as well not impressed with him so far..... 

Hopefully carruthers and gardner can step up. 

They made it permanent, it was announced on the OS earlier this year.

I think Lambert will be able to get rid of Given, Ireland & Bent.

I can't see them all being happy to sit on the bench for another season, especially when Lambert is presumably going to continue the re-build in the summer.

Fair enough, its a shame out of all the players i mentioned I feel he could have something to offer and never really got a fair crack of the whip. 

I guess he was on silly GH wages...

He's getting better for sure great cover for the FB's and works hard. 

He looks a bit scared with the ball at his feet and resists any slightly dangerous passes. 

I thought he was only on loan ? (makoun) 

Not a fan tbh yea fair play yea he can go forward but as FB you main role is a DEFENDER 

Legend - Bent needs to have a look at Gabby see how to put a shift in for the team 

As others have said we need to get rid of a lot of players!

Given, Dunne, Ireland, Bent, Makoun, Hutton.

Need to sign Wieman Bentekkers and Lowton to new long term deals!

Get a decent CB and LB as Joe Bennett for me aint cutting the mustard.

If we win against norwich I think we will stay up!
