My brother in law worked with Albrightons dad and said Albrighton had a real issue with Paul Lambert. Couldn't get on with him at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did edit a wink in when I read it back He got a massive pay hike and a league winners medal, neither of which were on the table as Lerner's budget for Lambert was buttons and smarties. I'm sure he would have loved to have stayed though had the club shown any kind of ambition to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a Better Conor Hourihane than a McGinn-like player, so I'm not sure what the purpose would be right now. Maybe in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Trying to rack my brains but just had pizza so I’m in a food coma but wondering of the ex Villa players playing now, is there a better team that we have let go that would be better than our current team. The players as they play now and not in their prime ie Benteke and they would be compared to the current Villa team ie Grealish is only in the current team. Albrighton at right wing is a good starting point...is there a reasonable XI...thinking Jordan Ayew, Cahill, Milner, Young Edited January 25, 2020 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cahill, Albrighton etc stories are ridiculous... players who were winning titles a couple of years after leaving us. People like Enda Stevens less so, just annoying, but every club has those.

It's the same story with Luiz, ElGhazi, Wesley and previously Ayew, Amavi or Veretout. We have no patience and we often miss great players once they are gone. Let's give players like Wesley a real chance before he scores 15 goals a season for Bornmouth or Crystal Palace. This 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t even thinking about selling prices generally, it was just boredom thinking rather refreshing websites to see if we had signed somebody. Just noticing more and more ex villa players playing more than I used to ie Lichaj playing for hull on tv now. I think all clubs lose/sell young players that come back and end up stars, just the way it is. For every star there are 100 players that were rightly let go. It just seems high for us because we know them in our villa tinted world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
