centre back

He showed great hunger and desire there today, got stuck in which is all any fan wants to see their players doing. He looks like a lad that's clearly enjoying himself and the way things are going for him at Villa. With Tim Sherwood a manager clearly full of confidence and a manager that I'm sure has big plans in terms of what direction he wants us to head in, at the helm, I'd be confident enough of him staying.

Just over 2 years. Still only 22 and at the moment showing great potential so yeah it might be no harm to sit him down now and offer him something that would secure his services for as long as possible, keep the vultures away this time next year. He was pretty solid today, his positioning was top notch and was very good in the air as well.

Plenty of fire in the belly of Cleverley today, he appears to be well up for this and that's great to see.

Great run in by Grealish and Cleverley positioned lovely to slot it home. Although we were solid enough and more or less in control of things up until that we were toothless enough in the final third. Hopefully we'll kick on from here now and put this game to bed asap.

I think Benteke would suit Chelsea down to the ground and if they showed an interest we should see how we'd get on by asking for £20m cash plus Patrick Bamford. It's a deal that I'd consider possible and one that I think would end up suiting all parties.

Gabriel is my name, 35 and from Galway, Ireland. I've being supporting Villa since I was around 8ish. Favorite players as a young lad back around then would have been McGrath, Cowans, Platt, Daly, Saunders and the scorer of one of the best goals I've ever seen Dalian Atkinson (v Wimbledon). On the back of lurking or reading all the various opinions re: Villa and stuff on here for a fair while now I've decided to give it a shot and join the fray myself. Anyways that's it I suppose, hope to be involved in a few discussions soon enough!
