Grasshopper Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Rather than have to flip between player threads I thought I'd start a LB thread where we all can Discuss Amavi, Richardson, Lescott, Kinsella, Clark, N'Zogbia, Baker, Cissohko and possible loan options. regarding the "Emergency loan rule - due to extreme circumstances" the Options of having Richardson and Lescott at LB, isn't that extreme enough? that should surely take us to the front of the queue shouldnt it?

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Richardson is diabolical and Lescott can't run, Clark has never looked good there either. However we have much bigger fish to fry than a left back, obviously all of our resources have to go into signing a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 We do have that Crespo fella. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 At least Remi has had a couple of weeks to look at the merits of the candidates. Whilst a lot of them are a bit pony, we do actually have a number of options. I'm hoping that Crespo could be our saviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Could Illori be an option? Also perhaps either Bacuna or hutton could slot in on the left too like what we used to do with Luke Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2015 Richardson will do a job. He's really not as bad as everyone is making out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't know why this thread even exists, Amavi is injured ergo Richardson plays left back, end of discussion. Richardson has been fine this season so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Give Ilori or Crespo a go. They were both said to be able to play across the backline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2015 Bacuna? Has a left foot, can play right back. Personally I think he's a poor defender but so is Richardson. Has to be Crespo surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Richardson is a total liability. He can't retain possession or defend. Letting go of Cissoko was a mistake in my opinion, was obviously pony going forward but solid enough defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 i dont think its as big of a problem as the transfer thread suggests, i dont class it as a priority, we have plenty of players who can play there, just not many that are that good, if we do go down it wont be because of our left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Just don't do what Sherwood did and put Alan Hutton there as he did against Soton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Anyone but Richardson. His touch is crap, his passing is up there with the worst any player ever to wear a Villa shirt, he is reckless, he can't cross, he certainly can't tackle, he moves like he smokes 40 a day and he has a **** man bun. Even with Amavi injured I wouldn't think twice about cancelling his contact tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Richardson is awful he looks clueless as to his positional sense and is so weak one on one it's a joke! I've no idea if Crespo can play there but his other appearances so far haven't filled me with confidence. I'd hope Garde is judging Kinsella but it is now our weakest position. I'd prefer Cissokho and have no idea if he can be recalled. He isn't the best going forward but is a solid defender if he can't be recalled we will need someone in Jan.

Jimbop Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I completely forgot that N'zog used to play left back way back when! I'd honestly prefer him there than Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 OMG, KHV and SteveO hahahahaha you must both be trolling ;) Richardson isn't good enough. I'll be disappointed if RG believes he is and plays him. If we can't recall anyone then we must either buy/loan someone in January. Meanwhile give Crespo or Ilori a go, neither could be worse than Richardson or Lescott. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
