He's in the last year of his contact so likely not to cost too much and he knows the club well. Would anyone take back the snake? No, for one reason. It would divide the fans too much. Right now we’re all riding a fantastic wave of optimism, nobody has anything really negative to say about us right now. We’ve got a Villa fan at the helm, a villa fan and one of the hottest prospects in the league as captain and some exciting young players. It’s some of the best football we’ve played in years and we’re finally looking for the win from the first whistle no matter the opposition, rather than trying to defend all the time or see out a game. The animosity he would bring to us would always trump what he could deliver on the pitch. Some people will never see passed what he did, rightly or wrongly. Just look at the way so many wouldn’t take to McLeish, and all he did was manage our nearest rivals. We don’t need the negativity of the snake coming back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s nothing to do with what he did to us, I just don’t think he’d get in our team (provided we sign K Phillips). He’s a very West Ham type of signing. We have changed our approach completely now it would seem. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hold On, I think we should sign Wilson Philips. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say there is absolutely zero chance else would take him back after he turned his back on us. The fans would never accept him.

Rodders Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think it's safe to say Kalinic will be off at some point this summer. Not sure who else, I suspect players like Bjarnason and Lansbury are going to be bench-warming for a long time until their contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think given we've already released several players from last season, we need those players as back up for one season before replacing them next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll try to keep him even if we (hopefully) sign another striker. He is quite versatile. Fingers crossed we are looking to offload Hogan as part of a deal for Benrahma and Maupay.

Same with bree and if a good offer comes in for Taylor id let go I don't rate any of them. But letting Taylor go without getting in a backup would be insanity. We are extremely short on CBs so you can't rely on Hause at left back. Personally I'd bring in a new very solid CB, then a defensive utility player with a bit of experience, that can cover most positions. Then I'd consider letting Taylor go.
