Funny I've been saying for a while we were a feeder club only to get dogs abuse on here for it. Who'd have thought it

Some clubs have got more money than us Richard, get over it.

Like i said, ridiculus comment.

Ridiculous indeed.

Thing what annoys me is that it's not only about strengthening YOUR team - it's about having other teams trying to weaken OTHER teams.

Milner, Young, Barry & now Downing were 4 great players for us and their loss over the past few years has for definite weakened us.

It's not just about business.

Villa have to stop supplying England internationals, only to have them leave after being tapped up.

Villa haven't cultivated this culture, the Premier League, Uefa and the FA have. Players hold all the cards along with the clubs with bottomless pits of money.

I'd rather Albrighton played a full season than Downing, I think he's the better player

Ridiculus comment.

Just because Downing is leaving, lets not pretend he is shit!

There's plenty of things Albrighton does better than Downing. Downing isn't shit (and he didnt say so) but I don't think he's as great as many think. He lies somewhere inbetween.

Houllier and Warnock had previous at plop and, without knowing, the relationship at Villa was doomed from the start, similar with Carew.

Actually youre right.

Theres no need for any wingers thinking about it given the rubbish 8-1-1 antifootball formation McLeish likes to inflict upon ppl.

Grow up for heavens sake.

You dont always need 2 wingers in modern day football, the key to a good football team in the centre of midfield, which has been a problem for us for a long time

Exactly right. I don't think we'll be playing two wingers this season and N'Zogbia isn't a winger anyway he's more an inside forward.

nzogbia is a replacement for ashley, not downing. if stewart **** off we need two wingers in, not the one.

and what if Nzogbia is the replacement for Downing only?

Albrighton.

so 2 wingers in whole squad

great.....

How many wingers would you like? I would rather we played one winger with a decent midfield...

Same here MMFry. The two wingers last season played so narrow (for most of it) that they may as well have not been wingers.

so 2 wingers in whole squad

great.....

What's wrong with that??? A lot of our problems last season stemmed from playing with two wingers.

nzogbia is a replacement for ashley, not downing. if stewart **** off we need two wingers in, not the one.

and what if Nzogbia is the replacement for Downing only?

and what if he's not a direct replacement for either but a player brought in that Alex McLeish wants as a component for a rebuilt side?

Why are people obsessed with friggin wingers?? I really think the era of two wingers is over at Villa Park for the time being. And N'Zogbia is not an out and out winger like Ashley Young, even though Ash tried to morph himself into something else this last year. I also think we'll see Marc Albrighton start many more games this season.

I presume that they're all singing from the same hymn sheet at Villa and therefore McLeish's position would be completely undermined if he were to be sold now after what he's said. Having said that there's a price for everything and turning down 25m wouldn't be good business in my book.

Downing isn't coming out of this very well and looks to have been poorly advised like Gareth Barry.

Try this one NOTW

I thought everyone was boycotting the NOTW?

Shame on you Billy!

Are we? sorry. The only periodicals I buy are the Anglers Mail and Razzle.

I can see the Arse getting him. Wenger has to spend and there aren't a fat lot of options out there.

Try this one NOTW

Still **** all pal...let it go...i take your word for it!

The're frightened of hacking.....

Just google it

Try this one NOTW

I still cant see it but i take your word for it mate.

Im a little different to some on here as in the fact i couldnt give a shit what players do away from football, just like i would be very happy if we signed Joey Barton.

Just to clarify, i do not condone kicking **** into your old boy!

Just on his playing abilities I wouldn't have him if they gave us 3m.

Walker is light years better than Hutton ....imo.

Here's a milder story - NOTW

Not sure what Ashley Cole and Cheryl getting back together has to do with Alan Hutton? :?

:winkold:

I've just tested it and it works for me :?

Help me out dude, what am i looking at?

Its the report of when he beat his Dad up from March 2009.

Hutton is crap and trouble.

I would love to know how you know he is trouble?

I thought it was common knowledge. There are reasons why he was left out of the squad at certain times last season.

Now there's talk of them offloading Joe Cole in the deal. We've been stung by that sort of thing before (SI) and we don't want another over inflated egotistical, wage demander.

He'll go for about 18m and that's OK.

Hutton is crap and trouble.

So what has he done in the last 14 days that has been so impressive?

The options are only yes and no. He can hardly impress while a competitive ball yet to be kicked. However he has spoken to the fans representation and been generally engaging. So while the options are black and white people probably err on the side of...hope?

If Downing goes aswell, its obvious we need another winger in. 2 aint enough (Albrighton and N'Zogbia)

I don't think we'll be playing with two out and out wingers this coming season. N'Zogbia isn't a winger like Ash was either.
