NeilS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Okay just stopped laughing at the line about Villa fans having their soul destroyed by the potential departure of Collins. Haha, that bit caught my eye as well. I wouldn't shed a tear if the whole of the old guard back four were replaced this summer. Well.... maybe tears of joy.

Yes because we can trust McPoxyUselessManager to replace them with better players :| Maybe we will see the return of Liam Ridgewell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I hope that McClueless is practising up on corners, because after the Liverpool game we have Stoke with Peter Crouch ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If we spend any money on Joe Cole we really are a shambles How many people said that about Keane though!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It says that Cole is on $70,000 a week ? If we get him and keep Ireland then we wont be able to afford anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Villan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I don't think there's a chance in the world that Cole will come to us with McLeish as manager. I didn't want him when it was rumoured in the summer as I wasn't sure he was good enough. Now we'd kill for a player of his quality (thought we'd no doubt misuse him even if we had him, so...)

PussEKatt Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Actually when you consider our position, our potential under McStupid and our style of football It will be very difficult to get quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three of the back four do not deserve to still be at this club after last season's behaviour. They haven't redeemed themselves this season with their performances either, so I would be looking to replace those three as bare minimum if we are looking to improve as a team in both style and performance.

PussEKatt Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 @ Neils: And which free signings and bosmans will we replace them with ( that we can afford to pay ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 @ Neils: And which free signings and bosmans will we replace them with ( that we can afford to pay ) Warnock will be out of contract, as will Heskey and Cueller which will free up some significant funds in the wages. Dunne and Collins will be in their final year so may move on. With a bit of good scouting that will cast the net further afield than the Premiership, then maybe we can pick up some good quality technical players to fit into the squad. The back four are not irreplaceable you know, other teams are looking to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Warnocks out of contract this summer? I thought MoN was willing to pay 2.5 for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I don't think, in our situation, he's worth his wages. But fair play to Cole for going to France, getting his head down and concentrating on his football. I didn't think he was the kind of player to put his football first. It seems I could have been wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The problem with this is that it is the manager that that picks the team,decides what tactics to play and runs the training.We have'nt got a hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Someone touched on it yesterday, at any other club the local press (and national) would be turning the screw on the manager for doling out such shite every week, but somehow McLeish escapes. Mud doesn't seem to stick, similarly to Teflon O'Neill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sorry to ruin your party but Warnock's got another year. Doh, I could have sworn it was this year. Still if MON was to offer £2.5m I would bite his hand off. Therefore saving some wages. I guess this means all three of the forementioned are going to be in their final year this season?

TrentVilla Posted April 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2012 Like I said, this can't go on much longer I'm not sure what 'this' is but if you mean McLeish being our manager then sadly I don't agree, I don't think there is any reason to believe his job is in danger at the moment. I think we are stuck with him and with everything that brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
