Jareth Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 What will please him more is when the deadwood is finally shifted from the training base. Brad Guzan was due at Middlesbrough for a medical today so he should be the next out of the door following the departures of Jose Angel Crespo and Carles Gil. Everton have met Idrissa Gana’s release clause while Carlos Sanchez is still attracting interest from a number of clubs. A loan move for Jordan Veretout is likely and Villa will also listen to offers for Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott and Gabby Agbonlahor. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-boss-roberto-di-11677598?

Shame to lose Gana and Veretout for me, they are far less deadwood in my eyes than Richards, Lescott, Gabby, Hutton, Sinclair etc. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think Hutton has the right attitude and Sinclair can do a good job for us in the Championship. As for the rest its up the RDM to see if he can improve them and I am sure he will try. If not we might as well give them away assuming anyone would take them off us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nice to actually have it in print that we are looking to offload gabby, lescott, richards - up until now this hasn't been made clear. Let's say we get rid of everyone else named in that article plus those who have gone - that would be 6 out, and if we can get someone to take the other 3 that would be the sort of squad overhaul we've been desperate for. still need some decent players in though.

sne Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Unlike us, most other teams probably don't want do get rid of all their players. Meaning the closer the start of the season we get, the less willing will they be to part with them as it gets tougher and tougher to find a replacement, and less time to do so in. 1 month to go til the window closes, a week until the season starts. Squad is still shambles. I really hope the club is getting desperate, they should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never ever happens that way though, at least not perceptibly. I don't have the statistical evidence to hand but I'm willing to bet a few quid to Acorns there is just as much business done in the last 5 weeks of the window as the first. I'm amazed we still have this debate. Every year. Meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that was O'Neill. Lerner had very, very little to do with transfers outside of providing the budget. Perhaps RDM operates much like O'Neill. There are plenty of managers who leave it late, for whatever reason. It's frustrating for us I know, but it wouldn't be unprecedented or even remotely unusual. Besides which, we have signed 3 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think leaving signings late was our issue? We signed Benteke right at the end of a window. Timing certainly wasn't the main issue under Lerner.
