Former Villa Players You'd Want Back

Recommended Posts

As was the original intentions of the thread, here's my dream team of still-playing current or ex Villans:

--Gabby--Bent--

--Young--Milner--Barry--Downing

--Lichaj--Mellberg--Cahill--Young

NB. Kyle Walker doesn't count.

NB2. Why have we not had any properly decent fullbacks in the last 10 or so years?

Luke Young was decent IMO.

Yeh choosing the RB was much easier than LB. **** if Warnock's gonna be in any dream team of mine.

Frank Barson, Billy Walker, Harry Hampton, Pongo waring, Gibson Talbot and Tate

:winkold: Add Eric Houghton, Danny Blanchflower, McParland, Hitchens, Rioch, Little, Gray, Platt, Gidman, Macca & the 82 team to that and we have a squad rjw63!

I'd add Clem Stephenson, John Devey, Howard Spencer and Charlie Athersmith

First team would compete for top 6. 2nd one would get us relegated, twice.

Agree with the first team with the exception of Mellberg for Clark.

I'd take Milner back, even though he was HORRENDOUS in the Euros.

I'm surprised people are saying they'd take Barry back. I think he's a very good player, and he was particularly impressive for City during the latter stages of last season, but have people really forgiven him? I know it's a moot point anyway because if he did leave City, he'd easily find a CL club willing to take him on but I can't say the idea sits too comfortably with me.

Cahill's a no-brainer. And I always liked Reo-Coker. He didn't get a fair crack of it under MON but when he got his chance his attitude was always impeccable. We could have done with him last season although I'd like to think we could attract far better players in our current position.

Bouma? he made the dutch squad for the euros and was always solid for villa

Deffo want Mellberg back. Bring him to Villa on a two year contract and make him captain. Would bring some leadership with him aswell. Dont think HE would like to come back though, just a feeling I´ve got from the articles in swedish papers about him.
