To be honest this is pissing me off now.
I accepted the signing of mcleish, i accepted the selling of Young but this is just a step too far.
First we sold barry, ok we'll move on, then we sold milner, ok we'll move on..... Now its Young and Downing. Not exactly sure what our assets are after those pair go, basically just Bent.
Heskey was done last season, Brad has gone, Reo Coker is gone, Petrov must be on his last legs, unless Mcleish signs 5-6 players (which he probably won't) we are going to struggle to put a team out next year, might aswell play the full youth team as an experiment, sounds like a joke really but thats pretty much Aston Villa at the moment, a BIG JOKE.
How have we gone from Champs League hopefuls 2-3 years ago to mid table also rans so quickly?
Its almost as if the o' neill and lerner years didnt happen and we are back to the mid table stodge of the last 15 years.
