Rob182 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I was looking at Villa’s squad on Transfermarkt and decided to have a look at Baggies’ too, as I was intrigued at how many OAPs they still had on their books. Tthey seem to be in for as big a rebuild as we are (just without the financial constraints that we have). The following players are expected to leave: Johnny Evans, Kieran Gibbs, Jake Livermore, Nacer Chadli, Salomon Rondon & Jay Rodriguez. The following players are out of contract this summer: Boaz Myhill, Ali Gabr, Gareth McAuley, Krychowiak (loan ends), Claudio Yacob, Gareth Barry, James Morrison & Chris Brunt. This leaves them with a squad of the following players: Foster, Hegazy, Dawson, Nyom, Field, McClean, Robson-Kanu, Burke, Phillips & Leko. Obviously they also have an U23 team, and some of the guys whose contracts are ending may sign extensions, but either way, they have a big rebuild on the cards. I know a certain Scottish striker with a proven track record in the Championship that they might want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Dawson and Foster fined for refusing to go on tour. Sounds like the sort of toxicity we had when we went down, not a good sign for them! BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Refusing to go on tour to try and secure a move away isn't likely to make you appear like a real team player to potential employers. Its only a 6 day trip to Portugal too. What a pair of pricks.

Makes them look even more like pricks If that was the case. Don't forget they are being paid millions by WBA to play for them currently. Least they could do is go on a jolly to Portugal for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be the first thing he has stopped in 18 months. Used to rate him, one of the "best of the rest" in my opinion, but he's utterly shit nowadays and I cannot believe he is only 35.

They should have had the name “ideal” put across the front of the mascot, as while I’ve seen the picture a few times now, I didn’t know the make of it. So, it’s good but it could have been even more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
