DeepDish Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 He will leave at the end of season... Another 30k saved on wages/week. That is bizarre. Why not sell Collins or Dunne and save 30-50k a week on one of them, and save the amortization of 1.25 mill and maybe even get some extra cash? Poor management.

wiggyrichard Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Letting Carlos go would be on par with appointing McLeish in the stupid dicision stakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2012 Isn't he out of contract this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Isn't he out of contract this summer? Yes, and that says it all about the mismanagement of this club. I was very happy when they failed in getting rid of him last summer and more happy when they failed again this January window. But I am not happy that he will leave this summer and Collins and Dunne probably will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 just another ridiculous decision from the club hopefully he is settled and will stay but i think he will leave based on how he has been treated by the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Doesnt he like the club and area though and he's very good mates with Guzan and Delph. Think all he wants is to be playing and he'd sign a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 A great player who the club should be doing everything they can to hold on to him.. Yet they've spent most of the last 12 months trying to get rid of him....and let two clowns like Dunne and Collins remain. Says it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Rangers were interested in January I'm sure we can swap him for McLeish's love-child Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Rangers were offering him 25k a week He decided he didn't want to take a 17k a week pay cut So he's taking his chances on a Bosman Will probably end up being snapped up by a lower end PL team who survive relegation ie QPR or one of the promoted teams ie. West Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham That's not actually true though is it, you read it in a newspaper. There is someone on VT who does actually know Carlos and his version is entirely different, especially the maths bit.

VillaChris Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 He'll go back to La Liga or Sunderland imo. Tough choice that. And him and Dunne were actually the CB combo from November- January 2010 so Carlos deserves a lot of credit for the great defence that season.

Ponky Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not sure why people are suggesting Sunderland. O'Neill bought him but never played him in his preferred position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not sure why people are suggesting Sunderland. O'Neill bought him but never played him in his preferred position.

theboyangel Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 CARLOS Cuellar revealed he has not received a new contract offer from Aston Villa – but will continue to wait for one before talking to other clubs. Cuellar’s current deal expires at the end of the season and he would love to extend his stay after forcing his way into Alex McLeish’s first XI. The Spanish central defender has opened negotiations with Villa about a new contract and is hoping the claret and blues return with an offer soon. Several clubs have enquired with Cuellar’s representatives about the possibility of taking the player on a free Bosman deal in the summer. But even though he has been free to talk to other clubs since January, Cuellar insists he would rather give Villa first refusal on his signature. “No, there is no offer yet,” said Cuellar. “At the moment I am focused to get points and to finish the league in the highest position possible and wait to see what will happen with me. “I am relaxed about it. I’m fine. “If they want me to stay here it will be easy. If not, if my contract is finished, I will have to say ‘thank-you, goodbye, it was a pleasure to be here, I am grateful for the last four years’. “It’s football, it sometimes happens, it’s alright.” Cuellar has become a fans’ favourite despite being in and out of the team since signing from Rangers for £7.8 million in August 2008. And the popular 30-year-old is happy to bide his time waiting for Villa’s decision rather than starting to look for a move to a new club. “I have always thought this way, I am happy here and I would like to stay,” said Cuellar. “But sometimes the plans of the club or even the situation is different. “You have to wait to see what will happen. “Now, because I’m in my last year, from January you can speak with the other teams, even to sign if I wanted. “Always I want to give the first opportunity to Villa. If I’m not in the manager’s plans, I will start to talk. “There is interest from other clubs but I say ‘no’. I don’t want to move now, I want to stay and be happy playing. I want to fight to stay here.” Cuellar has been in fine form since forcing his way into the team, first at left-back and then replacing injured Richard Dunne at centre-half. And he insists being in limbo about his future will not affect his perfomances on the field as he strives to help them to Premier League safety. Asked whether he is confident of winning a new deal, he replied: “I don’t know. “To be honest I don’t want to think about that because now I’m focussed just trying to help the team and play. “I’m not thinking about the contract to be honest. I wanted to sign before now but it will be hard if they don’t want me. “I try to save the club and finish as high as possible and after that we will see what happens.” Cuellar would love assurances he is wanted at Villa and would have the chance of playing regular first-team football for the club. “Everybody wants that but now, at this moment, they can’t give me that security.” still not offered a contract No surprise the defence has been better with his inclusion!!! It's a no brainer for me - sign him up and sell Collins/Dunne for whatever we can get for him. Bit of income and reduction of wages, rather than lose a player for nothing and reduce the wages. He comes across as a real gent and top professional!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
