Not sure if Bunn has been given another year, sure I saw it on Heroes & Villains.

Hutton has been given a one year extension on his contract, and Gardner signed a contract till 2020.

I'm certain that Cissokho's loan to Olympiakos was with a clause where they buy him at the end of the loan, similar to Sanchez, who is definitely gone, along with Kozak.

I'd try and keep, Vertout, Gil and Tshibola.

Have to agree with LancsVillan, on the rest of the players on his list his especially the bit about get rid or shoot Richards & Gabby. I'd prefer the latter myself.

He looked "good" in a 3 because the other 2 carried him through games .

Totally agree mate and just so "Keyblade" is aware, yes he is shit and certainly won't get any better than shit.

You have quoted ME to tell me that not everyone agrees with everyone else. I am fully aware of that fact.

Please, If you are going to quote me, please do not add to my quotes;

"The fact he has deleted his tweets proves that HE or the CLUB feel they shoukdnt have been written. That's obvious."

Where is my proof to support my view that he is dividing the fans and the he spouts garbage in broken English?

1. His tweets are in broken English.

2. This forum shows the division amongst fans and the fact we are having this debate is evidence of that.

3. He goes on to delete them afterwards, or somebody at the club does, proving even to him that they shouldn't have been written.

  

1.I personally think his attempts to speak our language are laudible.

2.The point of a forum is to foster debates, where opposing comments and therefore opinions are made.

3. Just because the posts have been deleted,doesn't prove or disprove that they shouldn't have been written.

And as I previously said, We are all entitled to an opinion on forums and in life, just remember that not everyone agrees with everyone else.

He is certainly managing to divide the fans. Is that a good thing when we need stability? An owner who is so divisive and spouts garbage on Twitter in broken English. I don't think so....

I'm sorry, but would you rather have an owner who was remote like Learner?

And sorry to say this, but where is your proof to support your comments......certainly managing to divide the fans.....so divisive and spouts garbage....in broken English?

Or is it a case of you disagreeing with everything he says?

We are all entitled to an opinion on forums and in life, just remember that not everyone agrees with everyone else.

Maybe we need to try a different formation, say the Diamond Formation....

Diamond formation? Does anyone really know what that is? I mean, at least you knew where you were with Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders. You know? 4-4-2, 4-2-4, 4-3-3... 0898 654000, freephone double glazing?

What we need is some self belief........

As seen on a T shirt........same shit, only the depth varies........

I think we will struggle big time, unless we get some new players in and fast.......show......

But.....

Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

Is there a Newcastle player that we could do with??

  Or for that matter, any clubs defender that we may want?

I only ask, so we might offer Lescott and/or Richards as part of the deal.

Wonder if Leicester would swap De Laet  for them two????

Two please terry, and keep them coming!!!!

Hope, yes terrytini we can all hope....and if its your bag, you can pray too! As I said, Hope I'm wrong!

Must start with the new players, plus the youngsters.

I also hope RDM looks at playing with more than 1 up front.

Could Hepburn- Murphy be our Rashford?

 Last seasons "bomb squad" ( Richards, Lescott, Bacuna and Gabby ) must be kept as far away from the team as possible.

Any chance that they can be put on gardening leave?

Others who could become "bomb squad" members, should only be used as a last resort.....do I need to name them?

Hopefully, we may have some new players in the next seven ( or less ) days.

I voted 17-20th in the optimism gauge thread. My logic relies more on the mental side. On paper many of you are right, we should be comfortably mid-table. However, we're VERY weak mentally, and a bad start can get the ball rolling in the wrong direction very easily with the fans turning against our squad made of the same shameful players as last season.

We need to get more new blood in. Even if they're no better than the old ones. More changes are needed.

AVT, I am in complete agreement with you. My claret and blue rose tinted glasses self combusted after half a dozen games last season, and although I would like to think we might make the play offs, with the turgid shit "bomb squad" players  still here, I'm afraid I cannot see it. Hope I'm wrong, but doubt it.

Players with * are linked with moves away.

 

Just hope the players with * are moved, but I just have this sickening feeling that we won't see any of them moving. Hope I'm wrong!

Could you phone the club and ask?

Tried to do this and was on the phone ages with no response. I've even tried emailing the club and am still waiting for an answer.

Can anyone tell me if any of the following are still employed by the club, as the clubs new web page doesn't show them on the "Who's who" list;

Scouting Staff

Paddy Riley, Janne Wilkman, Brian Byrne, Tony Coton, Mel Machin, Steve Hajduk, Steve Simmons, David Downes, Colin Jackson, John McKenna, John O'Hare.

Coaching Staff 

Robert Duverne, Micheal Watts, Chris Lorkin, Kevin MacDonald.

To tell the truth, I only want to know, so I can update my FM 2016 game. Saddo aren't I???

I know it's off topic, but has the club got rid of the person who said sign these players, Paddy Reilly?

Also, are there other posts on here, that might say who is still part of the backroom staff, as the clubs website who's who is a bit vague?

Hopefully this is true and happens next week at the latest. We can then get on with bringing in some new quality. Things change quickly in football, let's see what unfolds.

How I and thousands of Villa fans hope so !!!

So Hamburg bidding 8 million for Ayew. WBA 4.5 for Clark and Sheffield Wednesday in for Bennett. Are the rumours at the moment. Hopefully all bs. We have 7-8 others to get rid of.

Might be bs, as we've had supposed bids for Guzan, Westwood, Sinclair, Sanchez,Gana and a loan bid for Vertout, but no expansive news on any of them. Need to get real bids (or get rid) for Lescott,Bacuna,Richards,,Agbonlahor and Guzan. Then at least, we would have got rid of the disruptive element from the dressing room.

I play FM 2016 and get regular game updates from "The Football Manager Whizzkids" site on FB, but despite contacting them and the club, I cannot get any answers as to who is part of the backroom staff, ie coaches,scouts etc. The clubs own website doesn't offer much info either. Does anyone on here have any answers?

I'm a 56 year old fan, who likes to see all of the Midland teams do well. More of an armchair fan nowadays.
