stewavfc Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 SSN: McGeady to Villa a very strong possibility according to one of their ITK reporters Yeah just saw that, he was worryingly certain about it and in the studio as if he was breaking the news. Went on to say that Keane is on the cards too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Mid July and don't even seem close to any sort of business, in or out. How fustrating really. it's a joke to be honest, MON doesn't seem to learn from past mistakes I would have thought that you of all people Sir gary would have been happy with the lack of signings and be hoping that some of our young players are to be given a real chance this season. We don't need to buy any more average Premiership players, we just need to shift the non playing bench warmers who are costing Randy a fortune each week. If we can attract a top quality player then I'm all for it, but if not then let's give the kids a chance. Don't get me wrong, I'd be over the moon if some of the kids were given, I'm convinced if given enough playing time, Delfouneso will score at least 10 goals. The squad is very threadbare at the minute though and with several players looking to leave, I don't think we're in a good situation. If I was manager, Delfouneso, Albrighton, Gardner, Delph and Clark would all be first teamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, is Clark better than Dunne, Collins, Cuellar, Davies? No. Albrighton, is he better than Downing and Young? No. These players bar Clark who i'd send out on loan unless we sell Davies, should be starting more games, Albrighton, Delph (inj) and Delfouneso but not regular starters just yet. Delfouneso and Delph i'd say are close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuellar and Davies are not better than Ciaran Clark, they just have more experience, Clark is nearly 21, he isn't going to wait around forever, if the plan was to loan him out, it should have been done by now, same goes for Albrighton and Delfouneso. Albrighton is better than Downing based on last season's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 What, as in starting 11? yes, they've been patient enough and it's clear they are ready bar maybe Gardner Not a chance that Albrighton should be starting ahead of Downing or Ash, Delfouneso ahead of Gabby or Carew, Delph ahead of Jimmy or Stan and Clark ahead of Collins, Dunne, Cuellar or Davies. These lads have a lot of potetntial but they are not yet ready to be starting ahead of established, Premiership and in many cases International players who are for the most part performing to a high standard.

carew_villa Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Seeing as though the milner topic has been locked, i thought i'd share with you what i heard. A bloke from yorkshire visited my dads office in manchester today and when he found out i was a villa fan, he said he was best mates with James Milner's uncle and that James Milner had categorically told his uncle he wants to stay at Villa but is afraid that he is going to be sold if too much money is offered and the reason he hasn't said he wants to stay is because if he is sold then the club don't want the fans turning on them. I think this is probably true. I can't imagine Milner being the kind of player to want to leave Villa for Man City, I think he'd definitely leave us for Chelsea or Man Utd but not Man City. Although all ITK's have said the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton is better than Downing based on last season's performance. Clark is not better than Cuellar nor Davies. Cuellar is an excellent CB. Albrighton hasn't played too many games, so it's also impossible to just say "he's better than Downing based on last season" as who knows how Albrighton would of played. Also Downing came back from a lengthy injury, let him at least have a full season at the club. Again, just because they are young, doesn't suddnely make them better. I'd of certainly give Delfouneso, Albrighton and Delph more games last year but I don't think it makes them better players just yet anyway.

holte_k1 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We're a consistent top 6 team now, so for these young players to be ''good enough' to dislodge whoever is infront of them theyre gonna have to be amongst the best 10 players in there position in the country in one of the best leagues in the worlds.

Cuellar is a donkey, I can't believe to this day that we paid £8m for him, he's an embarrassment to the clubs and fans. Downing was dreadful for the majority of the time he was in the side for, Albrighton would certainly have done a better job but our manager wasted £12m on him so was hardly going to drop him.

carew_villa Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Cuellar is a great CB. Our 2nd best CB IMO. He is a donkey at RB but at CB he's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
