Relegation for Villa

[Fish111]

None of em. Not a single player in their squad excites me. If we signed any player from them i'd just think ''What's the point?'' None of their players would improve our squad imo.

I'm not too sure about mancini "not being a fan of wingers" Ashton mate. I think we'll find that Mancini is quite adaptable, considering the tools he has now at his disposal.
Maybe he saw how useless it was to have wingers crossing the ball to a strikeforce of midgets. With Dzeko in the armoury, we may see that change a little.

I don't know which is the real Ashley Young; the one we've seen recently or the one that was skinning defenders & hammering in goals & crosses not long ago. If it was the latter, I'd take him. So far Albrighton has been terrific (as Harry would say) & although giving away a pen v us & one or two iffy free kicks in recent games, it shows a great willingness to work when his side lose the ball. Add that to his undoubted talent & great ability to deliver a ball & he must have a decent chance of becoming a player.

Not seen enough of Delfounso but he & Barry Bannen look like promising players too. Their youth team put 10 past the self proclaimed 'saviours of football' Arsenal last week too, so relegation may be a chance to play more kids & bring more through.

Bent will probably keep them up though, unless his arse goes yet again.
