Along with Cahill, Albrighton, Davis and possibly Lowton and Bannan. All of them in one way shape or form, deemed not good enough for us. Two of them will have won the league Edited April 26, 2016 by wazzap24 Forgot one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 People were just blindly supporting MON when Cahill left, we could all see deep down he was going to be a quality player and much better than Knight and Davies. Bannan is very good in the championship, could he step up and do the same in the prem, I have my doubts as remember he barely got a kick at Palace. Could well have a Peter Whittingham career. The only thing I'd say on Davis and Albrighton, it's not like they went away and immediately set the world on fire, Albrighton couldn't get in the Leicester team for most of last season. Westwood would be no loss, I've said before I believe Gary Gardner coming back is capable of doing his job given he's been playing well week in week out for Forest in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2016 Davis and Bannan and even Lowton made sense at the time we let them go. Particularly Bannan. He was consistently shite at this level. Cahill and Albrighton made less sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Davis and Bannan and even Lowton made sense at the time we let them go. Particularly Bannan. He was consistently shite at this level. Cahill and Albrighton made less sense. Cahill made no sense, albrighton IMO looked great every time he got a sniff but got "injured" in the same way as Grealish under garde, sat next to his box for a game! chatted to him! watched him jumping about when we scored, he wasn't injured, he needed to be cut lose to reinvigorate his career Bannan doing well now I think you could maybe probably male some sort of link between what some of the yoof suggested about the drinking here and his smash and losing his licence and say 2+2= he was enjoying himself here a bit too much and cutting him loose has benefitted him too, he was so lightweight and ineffective in our McLeish midfield Lawton iirc was his missus, I always thought he was a good player, think if we had him now in the set up where Hutton is our best attacking player ( but it's true) he's a better crosser that's for sure, but he had a newborn and was living in Sheffield Davis I can't remember why he left tbh But that's 3 of them where it was something off the field that was going on, we're **** rotten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Davis left because Lawrie Sanchez took over Fulham and wanted him plus dont think MON fancied him plus we just signed Reo-Coker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think people forget the position we were in when some of these players left. We were challenging for top 4 and cahil was not at the level to be playing week in week out. My understanding was that he wanted regular first team football so we didn't stand in his way. Similar with Davis, he wasn't good enough for first team football at that point. It's no surprise to see the teams they dropped down to at first.

I seem to remember (whether correctly or not) that we essentially chose to hold on to Ridgewell over Cahill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure it was down to Cahil being frustrated at not playing rather than us deciding he'd never be good enough I think he'd had a good loan spell and was desperate to keep playing first team football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more O'neill not being able to see a bloody good player in front of him. He used the money to buy Zat Knight for Christs sake. All in all, an appalling piece of business by Villa. We've had a few more since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Some revision going on here ? Cahill left because he wanted to play, he didn't accept the Managers word, (doesn't matter whether we/he agreed with MONS view) so we rightly got rid of him. More of that approach since and we would be a lot better off. But as for Westwood, I just don't think he is one of those we should let go. Lets say we can get rid of, what, 8 ? 10 ? Not much more than that. Well there are 10 worse than Westwood. Though he is pretty ordinary to say the least lol.
