  1. Coyle has done well on a small budget at Bolton, but there's little to say he could manage a much larger squad and wisely spend Randy's millions.
  2. Everyone has a price, and I would think Downing's would be abnormally high considering the circumstances. If someone wants to pay it, take the money and reinvest it. He had a nice season but is not exactly irreplaceable. That said, the new manager should be making these decisions.
  3. I hope you're watching then mjames and keep us all posted!!! I have it on, nothing so far. :|
  4. Preparing for the first Gold Cup game against Canada tomorrow.
  5. Quoted again.. What does it even say? NO (CARLO) MCLAREN OR WE WONT RENA"
  6. He didn't use them at Milan either...they played a narrow midfield with wingbacks providing all the width.
  7. but Bradley has done well since coming on
  8. And he's been our best defender. I think he might be the only defender that keeps his spot for the next game.
  9. Moyes has not had a lot of money to spend. They have averaged 3m net spend since 2006. He has spend big on a couple of players but only because they sold a lot. He has done a lot of free transfers, loans and low fee players that have turned out very well. Compare how much we've spent since Lerner took over to what Moyes has done in the same time.

  10. I'm sure Downing's agent took an offer from Villa, shopped it around and found a club or clubs willing to better it. Now Downing suddenly changes his tune.
  11. Bradley has done pretty well...I think that was his first misplaced pass in the 44th minute.(that sounds wrong, I mean of the game, not of the 44th minute )
  12. Reus is a Dortmund fan who Dortmund let go from their academy because they thought he was too small. Whoops. I wonder if he'd go back...
  13. Michael Bradley will meet fans at the family fun day from 1.45pm this afternoon in the indoor academy. Don't miss it - it's already started! — Aston Villa FC (@AVFCOfficial) February 5, 2011 does this mean Bradley isn't playing?(couldn't make that a short link for some reason)
  14. I don't think Sidwell completed that many passes in his entire Villa career.
  15. Putting aside the fact that Nilmar and Rossi would cost way more than 18m, how can you be sure that they or Klose would come to Villa? You could possibly agree on a fee with the clubs of some top strikers, but convincing them to leave their good situations to battle relegation is another thing. IMO, Bent is probably the best goalscorer we could hope for in the current circumstances.
  16. Have to admit, this made me laugh: "What a strikeforce Villa will have. Young and Bent. Just like their fans." Don't forget Cummings :shock:
  17. Gabby always ends up on the left anyway. That's the problem with playing him up front alone or as the main striker, I'm not sure he would work with Delfouneso up front. Gabby should have scored in the first minute, then Houllier would have been a genius. I thought NRC was much better than Petrov...his passing was actually decisive...Petrov wasn't having any impact and his passes were all square.
  18. Walker looks like a real attacking fullback. He had some shaky moments defensively, so I don't know how he'll do against the better teams in the Premier League, but he'll be a weapon at home when we need to find a way to break down teams.
  19. Walker has looked good going forward, but shaky at times defensively.
  20. Friedel was kind of known for saving penalties at Blackburn, then he saved one in his very first game(preseason friendly though) for Villa against Reading. I don't think he's saved one since.
  21. I wonder if Lichaj could be going on loan to another FA cup side? Otherwise he is reeeally being taught a harsh lesson for that Man City game. Gets criticized, dropped to the bench, 20 year old replacement brought in on loan, then completely dropped from the team.
  22. Clark is the only defender that can pass, the others just invite the pressure with their hurried clearances and inaccurate hoofs. Then again, Clark did have a highly composed giveaway in the first half.
  23. Lichaj signed as an almost 19 year old amateur with a broken leg a little over 3 years ago. He had to rehab his injury plus learn a lot of the basics and just how to be a professional. For him to now be going up against the Sky Sports Greatest Left Winger in the History of the World and keeping him mostly quiet is a pretty good story. The coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for developing him to this point.
  24. They are really going at Lichaj every chance they can...he has held up well and has gotten help from Cuellar/Albrighton et al.
  25. Sepp would say China is the motherland of football.
