Houllier hinting that SI will come back into the fold 'at some stage' and that he has great ability.

Can't link as on phone but hopefully he's given a chance, up then to SI to prove he's worthy of a starting place. He's got so much talent being wasted, we were crying out for a playmaker of his talents during mons era to push us on.

has to go tonight, no signings again this window! players dont want to play for GH. I don't think Jol could even turn this around.

Can't believe i'm saying this but we need Allardyce to stay up this season.

Transitional season we'll finish anywhere from 7th to 14th, I'm optomistic though some good signings and continue to develop the young players and we will challenge 4th next season.

Funnily enough playing teams who actually try play football we should do well against, I worry more about playing burn/stoke than Arsenal/Lpool.

Clark has been very impressive and has arguably changed the game for us, his composure and touch has been brilliant, I think he could develop into a top-top class central midfielder.

warnock abysmal AGAIN needs to get back to playing as he did in his first 10 or so games , rather than the awful shite he has displayed in the 30/40 games since

Warnock has been in AWFUL form was rubbish midweek and was the weak link last week vs West Ham, can't remember his last good game.

Absolute shambles today no leadership at all form Petrov/dunne

Hogg not in the game at all, could have done with another experienced midfielder in the team

Davies is a donkey, simply not good enough has to be sold.

MacDonald knows these lads well and obviously has faith in them, This I hope can be the start of a great new era for AVFC. Similarities to The Utd team of 95? We've Been hearing about these kids a while let's hope they can live up to the expectation.(I think they will!)

Really impressed with Clark, always looks to play the short pass and very composed. Compliments dunne very well 2 very different Cbs.

Dunne,Cuellar- last ditch all action defenders

Collins,Clark- Composure and good distributors of the ball

Nice options and I think it's time to let Davies go, not liking his attitude lately Clark as 4th choice will do the job.

Apparently on Ssn in the last hour they said Stephen irelands representatives are due at villa today, MM or Gazton any more news on this?

Villa at this stage need a high profile name that the players will respect and will be able to attract high profile players, prem experience is important too so for me it has to be Jol or Moyes but I think both are out of reach for various reasons. Would be crazy to go for klinsman(flopped at only club job)or Bilic, Zola etc.,

First Barry now Milner I think contracts need to be reviewed in future they benefit the player too much, contracts should all be 3/4 yrs then the club should have the option to extend it by another 1/2 years if they wish. This would stop all this crap of sell now or sell for less next season.

Milner has been overrated, he had a good season but only good, cash plus Ireland and we'll be stronger already.

Never expected this from Milner but 25-30m and we'll be a better team. I think if we can get Ireland in and 3 more real quality players I'll have higher hopes for this season than if we kept Milner.
