myb Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Why do we need to REPLACE anybody? thought we we are in the process of trying to build up a half decent squad?? Can't afford to replace anybody now!! I think our first 11 is as good as most, problems kick in when we have injuries or suspensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 He won't now he plays for scum heath alliance thank fook for that Rob!! Its surprising that Brady didnt ask specifically for Carlton Cole - im sure he'd be up for doing some films with her, to fund the next transfer. But then Gold and Sullivan probably saw more potential with animal-porn, so promptly snapped up the quickest available donkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanPabloAngel Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I can`t believe somebody wants a replacement for Delaney. If there is a better right back in the premiership i haven`t seen him. but stop thinking of Villa players like they are Real Madrid players, because they are clearly not. Do you actually support Villa? Do you actually ever read our messages? You rant about us calling Barry a winger & say we think our players are good enough for Madrid....WELL WE DON`T. Your negativity towards Villa players makes me think you only signed up to talk about Pedersen & now you know he isn`t signing you just come on here to moan.

kiddybloke Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 VASSELL OUT? He is our jewell, he is our untouchable, our prove of the youth academy really working! He is our only England international! Yeah he was a little bit unlucky last season, missing a lot of opportunities, but he makes it up with his uncredible pace. I'd reckon he will score a lot of goals this season, and I'm looking forward to it! He is such a fast guy, probably the speediest in the PL. do you actually watch any villa games. I think i was happy with his performance may be once last season at home. He isnt good enough to start for england and he rarely actually uses his pace cause his work rate is appalling. Im not moaning at him for missed chances, im moaning at him for really poor games. Where i sit in the holte, when he comes off people cheer because he's getting subbed not because he's played well. It really anoys me when he's just standing around or ambling around the pitch refusing to get stuck in and looking uniterested while Juan Pablo is all over the place chasing everything and working his ass off. Still not convinced with barry, he seemed to dift into the centre a bit much for my liking when he was playing on the left wing, this is anoying when Jloyd's gone down the left and cant get a cross in and barry is off in the centre so doesnt give him the support. Just one complaint but we will see. 2. "Solano made a huge impact" - did he really ?, how many of his games did you watch ?. i was at the games and i think you may be wrong squire. he did ok, nothing more nothing less. had a few really good games and a few really average games, and then missed a lot of games. hardly what anyone would call a 'huge' impact Yeah id have to agree with this. Im sure his injury didnt help but im sure that aslong as he gets/ has got a good pre season in then we will see the best of him. His crossing was a bit disapointing at times as well which is suprizing for solano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm with Norway on this. Barry is an exceptional player, but I dont think he is best suited for LM with the current squad. When Solano has the ball, you expect a lot more to happen, he is much more attack minded then barry, and willing to take people on. Barry's game seems to be a lot more reserved, defensive minded. Of the all the games last season, I think we looked a lot better going forward when we Whittingham on the left, he liked to get up, and cause trouble. When Barry started on the left, J'LLoyd was the player running the flank and taking people on, leaving us dangerously open at the back. I'm not saying I would like Barry to be replaced, but he has to run at people a lot more, we need an attacking edge on both flanks as we lack skill and flair in the centre.

paddy Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Who is stupid enough to vote for Nolberto Solano? He is our best winger, our first "true" winger in a long time. who is stupid enough to not read the previous posts and see that it was me who voted him and i explained my reasons fully He is our only England international! so? phil neville or emile heskey wouldnt' get into our team on that player, concentrate on what a good palyer he is (which i think he is) not what he's achieved or anything and the reason this thread is perhaps quite negative is because almost every other thread talked about who we should sign etc etc so i just wandered who these signings should replace, it seems that it will be vass (which i think is harsh, but not surprising), and gav, which is both harsh and surprising i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yet FIVE people reckon we need to get rid of Gav McCann - WHY? Only because, I wouldn't change the back four or sorenson. I certainly wouldn't drop Solano, Barry or Hitz And I'm happy with Angel and Vassell upfront. I really like McCann, he's a good 'honest' player but out of the starting 11, by default, he's the one i'd change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
