A buy out clause then? The fact that a player can leave when out of contract means we get nothing back anyway. There is also the small fact that a contract is only signed when both parties agree to it, and therefore, until you are personally involved, you won't know what the initial contract offered was. The player could have rejected and re-negotiated. Just means players like coker can not just leave for free because if we said to him sign a 2 year extension on your current deal and a club comes in offers x amount for you you can go otherwise if you dont want to sign your up for sale. because as soon as it goes past that point the power switches to the player. Why would a player want to sign in that instance? Players know the power they have, the timing of signing a contract is totally in their hands. in that case if i player doesnt want to sign you put him up for sale otherwise they will run their contract down and go for free

Should have signed both ashley and downing on deals that say if a club offer X amount then they can go until then you stay. protects the club and we get back what we deserve

Like I said on the right hes to predictable and you know hes going to cut back onto his left foot. As I was saying that he doesnt use hes right foot enough just shows when he shoot instead of a simple pass to bent. But that is just one recent example. As for Ashley young not able to use hes left foot, you have to say they are very different players. Stewart downing is a direct runner basically means he will run straight at you with pase and hes much easier to judge where hes going, thats why full backs stand a few yards off him and play him inside onto his right foot when hes on the left. Whereas ashley young is a much more skillful player that is much harder to play against and offers a lot more imo and plays himself into positions where he doesnt need to use hes left as much.

If a player can hit the ball accurately with power in the warm up, that shows he's got a good right foot, just clearly he'd rather use his left foot. If he has to use his right foot though, he has a decent right peg.

This is a guy that has played over 200 games in the premiership and your saying because he scored the odd goal with his right foot hes both footed. Just watch the games yeah not the warm up !!

Well we must be watching a different player what a load of shit

Im just saying that its down to us fans just to sing the songs not for all us to have hymn sheets before the game and wait for the music to come on. Then all sit back down. Its a simple thing just stand up and sing start middle and end the fans need to create the atmosphere not the club. Theres no better buzz when the players walk onto the pitch and we all start singing villa villa and so on imo we just need to keep singing throughout the game. simple as

:shock: :shock: Are you pissed??

Downing for me will always be better player in the middle of the park. Out on the wing if hes on the right the defender can just play him onto his right foot and if hes on the left the defender does the same and plays him onto his right foot. For me football has a lot to do with balance you need to be able to attack a team from every angle like tottenham can do with bale on one side and lennon and the other. But with downing playing on the right that balance has then gone. It is like when we played cuellar right back and gave him the ball more than any other player (because teams would know that was our weakness and get us to play down the right) he would just close down the attack and we would have to go back. Its the same with downing playing down the right he just shuts down the play then we have to go back. A good example is when we played blues in the cup we had alot of the ball but because we didnt have that balance we were just going back and fore accross midfield. I can understanding people saying well hes playing out of position on the right fair enough but i cant understand a pro footballer that plays football ever single day a england international that cant use his right foot. I just find that shocking myself i cant see why managers dont get him to use his right foot in training. Thats why i think he would be suited more to the middle as he is a very direct runner with the ball and does run at teams, and he can take players on and its alot hard to play some one onto their weakerside when their in the middle. He would have to play in a three in the middle though as he cant tackle but i remember his first game for us it was against portsmouth away in the cup. He came on and played in the middle with milner and petrov and he scored a header but i always said that was his best position.

I dont think a Anthem is a good idea before the games. Its just not us. I think the older songs should be sung more as we had some cracking songs back in the day. With regards to the younger villa fans, theycwant to sing them but need the older villa fans to get them going. The only way the younger generation are goin to learn the songs is that the older ones pass it on and start singing them. I think at the start of games we just dont know what to sing and everyone is waiting for one another and the game starts and we havent sung anything. We just all need to get together on here and say right when we play this game at home we are going to lift the roof and start singing the bells are ringing and then get everyone up for it, same for the next game and the next game until the fans are one and all up for it. Just need to spread the word. I dont think having words on the back of programmes and the club playing music is going to help it will be like going to church. We just need to get together as fans get a forum started on here right this is the game. One last thing as for the Paul McGrath song we dont even say his name anymore we skip that part and go on to its your round, shit suppourt and whatever else we can add on, the song itself is just lost with a load of crap we add on the end.
