It's Your Round

If we manage to sort the team out and start well, winning some games, we will hopefully see a lot of stay away fans return to VP. A full Villa Park, rocking with noise, is an awesome sight. Makes the hairs stand up on my neck

They should be called taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake ooooooooooooooooooooooooovers where we're concerned.

Carrick would be a good signing for us in the championship, doubt he would come though. I'd like to think Gareth Barry still has a soft spot for us, but it's likely he'd get a better offer in the premiership.

I think he should get a 'testicle-removal' instead.

It's crazy that Watford are going to get rid of Flores. Safety and a semi final to boot, what more do they want from their first season promoted? A bad run of form is inevitable for promoted teams, the fact they're still mid-table surely outweighs that. Football's gone mad, it's not the game it used to be.

Bacuna's a Champions League quality player of course! It it is a disgrace that black won't dump the no-hopers and give some of the youth a chance.

Well if you don't mind, I'm going to boldly predict that we will definitely get promoted. Or relegated, or somewhere in between.

A lot can happen between now and August. Also a lot can not happen. It could go either way. Best case we get a buyer willing to invest soon, recruit a new manager and bring in some solid, quality players to complement the ones we're keeping - the ones that have good attitudes. We stand a good chance of promotion if we get it right. Worst case? The sale doesn't materialise, we have no funds and we can't shift a lot of the dross in our squad. Even in this case we will raise money from transfers, my worry is that Lerner won't allow it to be spent on players. Looking at Championship net spend, it's never much more than £10m. If we can get rid of the likes of Gabby, Richards, Lescott, Bacuna and Guzan and bring in some decent replacements then as long as everyone's pulling in the same direction, we still have a chance at going for it. We've got some very good youth talent. We've got players that have quality. We just need to make sure we're working as a team, together.

He's contracted to us for another four years I think? There's fresh mega cash in the premier league and we don't have to sell him if we don't want to. All things that mean we should command a higher transfer fee. The problem sits with what stupid clauses he has written into his contract. I've got no confidence that Fox et al would've protected our assets. He's probably got a £6m release clause and someone will pick up a bargain.

We could do with this guy back

That would be the decent thing to do.

Providing we can actually get rid, where do you think he'll end up?

Have we moved on to Abba puns now?

The thing is though, they have had plenty of abuse and deservedly so. If it's not perfectly clear that we hate them for what they've done to our great club then they must be even more thick than we realised. The players know we hate them, the press know we hate them, other team's fans know we hate them. Continued booing of every touch won't change anything. It might make fans feel better, but why not do something positive? The last home game of our premier league era should be a positive celebration of Aston Villa. I'm not saying support the team. But support the club. A party atmosphere, singing the names of players that cared from our past. Villa til I die, Holte Enders in the sky. Let's show the world what fantastic fans we are and it's the fans that matter. Long after these arseholes have gone, we'll still be here. UTV

Yes flabby drinks his tins under the slide at the local park.

There's no chance of him playing a team we want to see, he's already said he won't play the youngsters. Question is will Adama get a start?

It's worth sticking to your guns mate, I feel you'll get lucky before the end of this season.

Actions speak louder than words Gabby and your actions over the last year have been nowhere near your claims. If we can't get rid, he needs to really knuckle down and prove he is worthy of a place in our team. Lose the belly, lose the party lifestyle and prove you're actually a professional footballer because at the moment you're not!

He's not exactly covering himself in glory at the moment. The end to this season and his involvement can't come soon enough!

Come on Randy sell the club please! We Villa fans desperately need something to talk about...

Yeah he definitely needs experience next to him. He did OK paired with Cuellar at times, I remember his debut. But when relied on to be the experienced organiser he doesn't seem to handle it. I remember a time when I was unhappy with Dunne and Collins, how far have we fallen now it's depressing.

Well hopefully Pearson won't see it in here then

I hope to god it's not true but wouldn't be surprised if it is. Amavi owes us a full season. He needs to get back to fitness and regain some form, he could do that in the championship. Whether he wants to is another matter. As seems the case more and more, players often get their selfish way.

You're a cheerful chap

Yep, I agree, there's nothing to lose here. If he makes it and can play a part then it will be an amazing achievement. His influence could be a real shot in the arm for us. If he doesn't make the grade then we've lost nothing. I'd bloody love it if he does though.
