thabucks Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Guzan, Lescott, Richards, Cissohko, Richardson, Bacuna, Kozak Agbonlahor, and Sanchez Will be gone. Unfortunately Gana, Ayew & Traore will follow. Then you have Veretout & Okore who are conundrums. Hope to also see the back of Sinclair & Clark. One hell of a building job to be done. Lucky our new would be owner is a multi billionaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 How are we going to sell those players? What manager are thinking; I should really sign Lescott or Sinclair or Gabby? We need an owner who can afford to keep a big bomb squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What manager are thinking; I should really sign Lescott or Sinclair or Gabby? We need an owner who can afford to keep a big bomb squad. Lescott will go to China or the MLS. Gabby will go somewhere like Greece, Turkey or the Far East. Sinclair may prove more difficult to shift but I'm sure someone will take a punt same with Richards. Sanchez will go back to Spain. Kozak will more than likely get released. Richardson is out of contract. Guzan may head back to MLS. Cissokho will go to Turkey. Bacuna will be a difficult one to move on. You have to remember that virtually the whole squads wages are about to be halved ( one of the few good things Fox did ) so they won't want to hang about after this seasons disaster.

villaglint Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 One positive to come out of the season is my Saturday's are no longer ruined by our poor performances/defeats. It's so inevitable now that you barely raise an eyelid. Had a dream last night I was watching our first game in champ. Gone was all the toxic members of the squad in was some new faces and youngsters busting their balls for the club. It was such a pleasure to watch and a feeling I hadn't had for a very very long time, we went 1 up before I was woken up by my 4yr old. Gave me some hope for the future and that the Villa we know and love can and will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Now that the pressure is off, one thing that might motivate the guys is that they are now only ONE MATCH AWAY from equalling the club record for longest sequence of league defeats. That was achieved in 1963 11 defeats between 23rd March and 5th May. Just to inspire them further, here is the full sequence: 1963 23.03-A Fulham 0-1 29.03-A Blackpool 0-4 01.04-H Everton 0-2 06.04-A Burnley 1-3 09.04-H Manchester U 1-2 13.04-H Sheffield W 0-2 15.04-A Wolves 1-3 16.04-H Wolves 0-2 20.04-A Bolton 1-4 01.05-A Sheffield U 1-2 04.05-H Nottingham 0-2 Pl11 W0 D0 L11 5F-A27 And the record this season is Feb 2016 Sun 14 H Liverpool L 0-6 Sat 27 A Stoke City L 1-2 March 2016 Tue 1 H Everton L 1-3 Sat 5 A Manchester City 0-4 Sun 13 H Tottenham Hotspur L 0-2 Sat 19 A Swansea City L 0-1 April 2016 Sat 2 H Chelsea L 0-4 Sat 9 H AFC Bournemouth L 1-2 Sat 16 A Manchester United L 0-1 Sat 23 H Southampton L 2-4 Pl10 W0 D0 L10 5F-A29 They've already beaten the 1963 goals against total so one final defeat against Watford next Saturday should seal their place in the Villa Hall Of Fame.

Richard Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 In some ways a part of me will be a little disappointed if we sort ourselves out and start acting like a proper club again. At the minute there is just so much material for piss taking it would be a shame to lose that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
