Papillon Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hmm... Marc Albrighton leaving is a strange one. Sure he was never a great player for us, but he did have that one season where he looked promising. I don't think he demands a lot of cash, so why not keep in on? It's not like we have many players that are better than him. In fact, our midfield is one of the weakest in the league and players like Tonev should have been sent back to the Bulgarian league before sacking Albrighton like that. I am not sure he will turn out to be the next Gary Cahill in terms of ability, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got himself to a new club in the Premier League and did well. English and only 24 years old, it looks like a very stupid decision - but we have come to terms with those the last few years I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, but I wouldn't want us offering that to somebody who is essentially a back up player whilst we are where we are, regardless who owns the club. He's not worth that to us IMO.

DamsonwoodVillan Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I know it is so unlikely but if we could snatch just 3 or 4 players of the calibre that has been linked then I think we'd be ok next season. A matchday squad of.... Guzan Lowton Vlaar Okore Lescott Holtby Delph Rodwell Milner Benteke Agbonlahor.... Steer, Baker, Bacuna, Westwood, Gardner, Weimann, Kozak.... Maybe it's just me but I think that side would have enough to give most teams a game and certainly make it to 40+ points without the dicing with death of the past couple of years. I know those names mentioned seem pipe-dream talk just at the moment but I genuinely think we could become a decent side again with just 3 or 4 real top additions. There's just so much negativity around at the moment no one can envisage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaib2004 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I do believe the same, we are only 4 top players away from an easy top 10 side baring injuries. Whether we have the money and wages to do that is Another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Paul Lambert has made a U-turn by opening the door to Darren Bent and Alan Hutton being reintegrated into Aston Villa’s first team while confirming that the midfieder Marc Albrighton has been released. The Villa manager, whose future remains in doubt because of the possibility of a takeover, said “everyone is on the same level playing field” when they report for pre-season. Lambert’s previous position was to freeze out Bent and Hutton in the hope of selling them to reduce the wage bill. It is understood that Randy Lerner, the Villa owner, has encouraged Lambert to utilise both players during the final 12 months of their contracts. “Everybody’s even now, everybody’s level,” Lambert said. “It’s public knowledge what’s happened [in the past] and now everyone is on the same level playing field.” Bent, Villa’s record signing when he joined from Sunderland in January 2011 for a fee rising to £24m, was loaned out to Fulham last season after being used sparingly by Lambert in the previous campaign. Hutton, who was signed by Alex McLeish in 2012, has not kicked a ball for Villa under Lambert and there was no indication that situation would change. “It will be unlikely he will ever play here, he knows that, but we need to get the [wage] structure down to a level,” Lambert said in February. The manager is now taking a different view, perhaps mindful that there is no guarantee what transfer deals will go through if the club has not been sold this summer and, as a result, what sort of squad he will have at his disposal going into the new campaign. “The only uncertainty we’ve got, which is the main uncertainty, is how long before [the club’s] sold,” Lambert said. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/20/aston-villa-paul-lambert-darren-bent-u-turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So we are down to using players we have destroyed the value of who will walk away for free in a year. God help us if there is no take over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hahaha, this is pretty incredible. People theory of a buyer being close is total rubbish. Lambert wouldn't be desperately putting a man who's not played for 2 years in the squad if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The only player that even looked like trying this year. It's an absolute farce, if we can't afford to pay his wages then I will be very very worried if we don't get taken over. Delph and Vlaar will be next. Of course he had to look like he was trying. He was looking another contract from us or somewhere else. I think hes limited and wasnt worth 35k. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndJo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 At the moment the club is in a desperate state, I think we need to use everyone we have available. I think bringing back Hutton,Bent and Nzogbia is sensible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Our transfer budget for last season was a mere £10m. I cannot see us being able to sign "bigger & better players" with that sort of budget and I cannot see our outgoing owner wanting to increase that budget during this window. Signing free transfer players may also prove harder than we would like to think if wages are to remain pegged and Marc's departure suggests that may remain the case. Given the shock news of an even playing field for bomb squad members (which it is hard to see being the manager's idea) could it be that he was told that they will be just like new signings for us next season?

Bunnski Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Guzan Hutton--Vlaar--Okore--Clark Westwood--Delph N'zogbia Weimann-----------Agbonlahor Kozak Subs: Given,Baker,Lowton,Bacuna,El Ahmadi,Bowery,Bent. This could be our starting team selection next season if nothing changes. I'd say we will be in the market for Hoolahan again and players similar to him, cheap and experienced. Thats not the worst squad to be starting the league with and will be made even stronger by Benteke returning before xmas but hopefully the takeover happens soon and we have a good opportunity to splash the cash before the window closes.
