KjParton Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Sad to see him go, but it is his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 He is 31 in August. The club should give him a 2 year deal on 35k a week which I'd imagine is about what he will be after. That's 3.5 mill in wages over two years. If the club think they can sign a defender as good as Carlos and pay him for 3.5 mill good luck to them but I don't see it happening.

Adbo9 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 im afraid that Carlos suffers from the "nice guy" syndrome where everyone thinks hes better than he actually is......... its the JPA Syndrome......... decent player at best, and by and large, hasnt performed at all in his spell at the club........ Not a miss IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmike Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hardly rated him tbh, decent defender at best, I dislike his style of football. I am pleased he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomer Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I guess who, if anyone, we get in to replace him will determine whether we'll miss Carlos. I thought getting rid of Luke Young was a reasonable decision until I realised Hutton was his replacement! CC always came across as a decent guy though so I wish him all the best.

CI Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm guessing Baker is ready to step up and take Cuellars place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Goodbye Carlos and thank you for everything, it's sad to see you go when there are players still here not fit to wear the shirt (Alan Hutton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 People saying Cuellar isn't good enough for Villa are living in a fantasy world. As he showed today, he is head and shoulders above many in our squad and, in any clear out, would be about number 15 to go on my list. It's a big mistake to shove hm out if he doesn't want to go. Just what I would expect from Mr **** our current manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Ridiculous that we are letting him go. He should be starting. Will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be after a 4 or 5 year deal to set him up for life (unless he wants to move home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sad day. Bye bye Carlos, you'll be fondly remembered. All the best, good luck. The club is having a laugh if they think this will pan out as a cost cutting measure. I predict we'll spunk some wage money on a useless CB picked up on a Bosman, then realise he doesn't cut the mustard and so have to shore up the defence with a proper signing, spending more than we would have spent keeping Cuellar here.

claret+blue_watch Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The defence as a whole seems a lot more secure with him in the team than not.Sad state of affairs that Carlos is going and disruptive pissheads like Dunne, Collins and Warnock are, for the moment still at the club. Best of luck for the future Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I remember the day that my sons and I heard that we had signed Carlos. We were euphoric and jumpimg up and down! We had watched all of Rangers cup games previously and King Carlos was awesome! As usual Villa have totally misused a really good player. Good luck Carlos with the rest of your career, we will miss you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdubber Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I also will miss him, and like someone else noted, we have missed a fantastic player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 a model professional, who has always appeared to be fully committed to Villa, irrespective of whether he has been in or out of the team. All the very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion-heart Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 One of the very few guaranteed a great reception if he returns to VP. Will always remember the "Carlos Cuellar, Villa centre Half" chant booming at out Prague. Thanks Carlos it's been a pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambles Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 He'll replace him with Roger Johnson. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
