Don't see much wrong with this. If hes used correctly he will be an effective player. The bit in bold is the bit that worries me....
-
This thread is opening my eyes. There are loads of players that I didn’t even know where shit……until they are linked with us! Educational

Like I said This is not a post about SG he may fix it….he may get sacked and someone else may fix it.
-
Whilst not keen on sacking managers this often….I am in agreement here.
-
Again I’m not posting about Gerrard and his record going back into last season. Im posting about the fact that we are four games into a season. Four.
-
Yes it is a just bad start to the season. Ive never heard of anyone getting relegated because of games that were lost the season before. Its not a post in support of SG Its just a post about what is happening right no which is a bad start to the season nothing more nothing less. It can and most probably will be fixed
-
Whilst yesterday was a bad result especially with Arsenal and City coming up.We we’re inches away from taking the lead in the first half and lost to deflected goal. Reverse those pieces of bad luck and we are 8th. Ive watched two Villa sides get relegated in my time both were horrendously bad full of players not capable of competing in the division they were playing in. This squad is nowhere near that. Do you think West Ham fans think they going down? Or Wolves? Its a bad start to the season! We win the first 4 a couple of years ago and finished 11th We lost the first 4 in 97/98 and finished 7th (not on this but the year we signed Collymore)
-
This is how I always think of Villa. I’m used to it now. We are everybody’s fall guy when a team need a win…. West ham you are welcome
-
I think this theory has a ring of truth about it. Maybe some managers are more risk averse than others. Take Graham Potter for example he probably would be happier than SG to take a risk on unknown CB.
-
You realise that you can’t pay any attention to what fans on forums say…..don’t you?
-
Just can’t understand how everyone knows so much about Bednarek? Just how does a Villa fan know how he played during his time at Southampton? Im a regular at VP and I can’t make my mind up about OUR players……..let alone an obscure Polish centre back that plays for another team.

So you’re not a “glass half full kind” of guy then….
-
You say most of that is in jest but generally it’s is spot on the mark. Your not doing yourself justice with regard to the accuracy of this appraisal. Well said

The word shambles is not a very good description of how we operate in the transfer market under this regime. Of course we have been a shambles in the past....
-
Tell him we are just spending the money we got for a relatively untried academy graduate.That’s inflation for you…
-
Not being a Southampton fan I haven’t paid much attention to this guy. Therefore I really have no idea if he’s a good footballer or not. If he signs for Villa I will watch him more closely and make an opinion then.
-
Like him A lot!
-
Agreed professional football without a plan…..? We would have lost by far more. Plan that didn’t work most definitely. If he didn’t have a plan then he definitely hasn’t got a plan b which as we all know is every football managers ultimate downfall. We are really in the sh@t
-
It’s not just Villa who have a large percentage of entitled fans…… Leeds Man Utd Arsenal I could go on……..you can talk to Baggie’s fans who think their club is well known for an attacking brand of football based on a couple of seasons in the late 70s Or West Ham fans who think that they should only see a certain brand of pure passing football when their team plays. All fans think they deserve a good team with a good style of play……it’s normal for a fan to think like this.

Thanks for listing Carneys highlights.These have come during approx 20 first team appearances btw. I can’t be sure but I think Gareth Barry was in the frame for England by then. But Carney has hit the post I guess
-
What I have to say is that if a player has something special you see it. You see in the first few touches of the ball no matter how young they are (in fact the younger the player the more fearless they are).Gareth Barry or Jack are good examples and you could tell very early on that Lee Hendrie would have a good career. I have yet to see it with this boy. Good career maybe….great one highly unlikely.
-
This is the after effects of our horrendous decline in the past decade. Nobody relates Aston Villa with having a good team anymore. We are not considered capable of getting it right by the majority of (dare I say it….) knowledgeable football fans. In fact I find it hard to convince myself we can!

This is the truth…..they don’t back their own side…. they put pressure on them their intense desperation to achieve something like past glory (which cannot be possible in the current climate IMO)
-
Very lucky not to drop last year. Ive said it before and I’ll say it again there is always a sense of desperation around Elland Rd especially in big matches. it effects their players and until they can attract the standard of player that can cope with the atmosphere there during important matches they will struggle.
-
Just don’t buy it.Any of it! Replica kit is always overpriced and generally not good looking or particularly flattering for most blokes. it’s been a rip off for years. Agree with the point (sorry can’t remember who made it!) that kids prices should be subsidised so that we would have more young fans able to run around the playground or park in our colours.
