Welcome Mings and good luck! Help us into the play offs.

Its all down to preference, while I feel there is still an outside chance of making the playoffs, I would prefer Hutton to play as our RB. Overall potential is Bree's but currently Hutton should be ahead of him. I think Bree needs to hone some skills and that a loan out, will do just that and he can come in and play next season for us.

Bree needs to get up to speed with playing consistently. He is good but so many misplaced passes... let him get up to speed elsewhere then next season he can play for us. Also that French lad can also play CB.

*hard to bear *Honestly dont know these lyrics, just googling it.

It's tragedy.

Or an alternative being Scott Hogan becomes a good fit at Sheffield United and starts firing some goals to put them in the automatic spots. The following season Sheffield could then buy him. Without being insulting to Sheffield United, its a smaller club compared to Villa with less expectation. He could thrive as he did for Brentford.

Hes left us once, no way can we accept him back. Mings has last loan spot too, prefer defensive reinforcements... This is a moot point, its not happening and probably not true.

We should of gone back in for Carles Gil. According to Birmingham Mail, we could of signed him for 1.8M and about £1.80 per season. He has signed a ‘multi-year Designated Player contract’ and becomes the club’s most expensive ever player, after Revolution paid a fee of around $2m. Gil is also set to earn around $2 a season.

Well here is the table for the beginning of February last season. 1 Wolves 30 11 2 2 31 12 10 3 2 23 10 +32 68 2 Derby 30 9 3 3 25 9 7 6 2 22 14 +24 57 3 Aston Villa 30 9 5 1 28 13 7 3 5 18 14 +19 56 4 Cardiff 29 9 3 2 26 10 7 3 5 18 16 +18 54 This is Villa atm. Played 29, GD +7, Points 42. 10 Aston Villa 29 7 42

Not to worry were going to sign a couple of CM's to ease the burden on Chester...oh wait, that's not right!

Fact is this isn't factual. This is fact. fact Dictionary result for fact /fakt/ noun a thing that is known or proved to be true. "the most commonly known fact about hedgehogs is that they have fleas" synonyms: reality, actuality, certainty, factuality, certitude; More

Forget about them mate. What they did we already cant get to. 99 points for Wolves and 90 for Cardiff. Our max is 93 points possible. Automatics is gone.

Looks like we will be starting February as we are. Come on mid table obscurity!

I have read elsewhere its 11PM. Cant seem to remember where though!

I entirely agree with you, its amazing how McGinn has endeared himself to the fans so well in such a short amount of time. Only been hear for 6 months, could say he already bleeds Claret & Blue. Props to McGinn to become almost as well loved as our own Grealish.

This thread is becoming absolutely **** crazy. Conor Hourihane is actually a good player and will be a main player for us, Conor isn't a DM, he never will be. Why are we expecting him to be strong in the tackle? Hes 62KG, get a grip! In real money that is 9 stones 7 lbs. He is not the destroyer you all want him to be, hes never going to be. I am pretty sure he isnt in the dressing room asking to be played as a DM. Thats with Dean Smith and co. Lets reel it in a little, we paid 2 million for Conor! 2 million..... are you all concerned that he isn't playing like a player worth far far more? Conor plays best when Grealish is on the pitch, he doesnt turn into some DM monster, he gets extra time on the ball, a player who is always open for a pass, but more importantly for the team, Grealish wins many many free kicks and there is only one player in our team I want standing over that free kick. Conor isnt Premier League quality. Conor isnt going to be our Kante. Conor is our adequate player who has his limitations. You find me someone who can replace Conor for 2M who can whip crosses and freekicks in like him.

After the Ipswich game Aston Villa have 42 points out of a possible 87. The final projected points total will currently be 67 points that is points after 46 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 11th. There is still 51 points to play for giving us a maximum potential points haul of 93 points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the appointment of Dean Smith the new projected points total would be 69 points that is points after 46 games. That has included (Before Smith) of 1.25 PPG from Steve Bruce and the current 1.58PPG from Smith. Using 1.58PPG over the remaining 17 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 9th. Thought for the day: To make the plays off based off last season we need 11 wins out of the next 17 games and to match goal difference need a +16 goal margin.

To show how perfectly McGinn has fitted into life at Villa, even fans think hes been with us for years! McGinn has been with us for 6 months.

Downing, Young and even JPA did pretty brilliant in USA.

Sounds like he could be the striker leading our line next season then. For as brilliant as Abraham is, accuracy doesnt seem to come into it too much. Hopefully the loan of RHM will help get him over the injury nightmares he has had and improve his fitness levels for us!

During the period of his injury our record was 4 W - 3 D - 3 L. Back inside the team over the next 12 games was 10 W - 1 D - 1 L. A hell of a transformation.

Could just mean he wants him to play. He will play all of our players with an expectation that their market value will go up if they play well. Including Grealish. We play Green and if he does well, he stays and we have a good player, if he doesnt perform he is match fit and we can let him go for an increase of value compared to a player who played 6 games for a league 2 side. Just speculating.

The bigger issue was losing Terry. The leader and organiser of the defence. Also the whole team ethos has changed from 11 defenders to attempting attacking football, we may be failing at it, but were attempting it. The issues is far bigger than a 'shit keeper'

After the Hull game Aston Villa have 39 points out of a possible 84. The final projected points total will currently be 64 points that is points after 46 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 12th. There is still 54 points to play for giving us a maximum potential points haul of 93 points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the appointment of Dean Smith the new projected points total would be 66 points that is points after 46 games. That has included (Before Smith) of 1.25 PPG from Steve Bruce and the current 1.5PPG from Smith. Using 1.5PPG over the remaining 18 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 12th. Thought for the day: The last player we made a profit on selling was Christian Benteke on 22nd July 2015.
