Its ok saying that we should keep our best players and add quality. Where would that quality play? Will MON drop Ashley, Petrov, Agbonlahor, Downing, Milner, if we bring that quality in? I happen to think that he won't, even if those players are suffering from bad form. This is why i worry that it will be hard to convince those players with extra quality, to come to our club. Luke Young and Reo Coker want to get away for that very reason. MON has his favourites and thats the way it will stay unless those players pick up a bad injury.

If Johnson is picked in the final squad i fancy him to be not only the surprise package in the WC but our most effective player, albeit coming off the bench.

His injury has made Eduardo half the player and he is damaged goods. No thanks.

My ins= Beckford Ledly Ireland Keane Hart RB? Outs=Sidwell Harewood Davies Heskey Beye

Have read through this thread a little and am surprised at the arrogant attitude of some on here. Someone else has stated that the likes of Beckford and Ledley would be poor signings. What utter bollox! You need to look at the signing of Beckford and Ledley in the wright context. They would be signed on the basis of replacing Sidwell and Harewood, probably, even Heskey, not direct replacements for Carew, Agbonlahor or Milner. Heskey and Sidwell would probably bring in something like four to five million in transfer revenue and if we replaced those players with Beckford and Ledley, who would cost nothing in transfer fees, then how would that not be good business? Beckford already carries much more of a goal threat than either Heskey, or Harewood and Ledley would be an improvement on Sidwell. Have watched Ledley play quite a few times and he is excellent on the ball. I wish people would look at the overall picture here. With the Europa League next season, we will need our squad more, to rest members of our first team and if we can get Joe Ledly and Beckford on frees and on less wages than Sidwell and Harewood then for **** sake why shouldn't we bring them to the Villa. What are we going to lose? If both players didn't work out, then we could sell them on again back to the Championship with a profit bulging in our chairman's pocket. Our squad is going to be revamped and i for one would welcome Ledly and Beckford into that squad before Everton sign them.
