Fleck missing from that team, pretty sure he was on the books then? What about Keogh, when did he sign?

Richard Wood i would say was then and arguably still is now, better than our current defence. Joe Murphy better than Burge maybe/probably? Other than those two the team now is better by a country mile.

I think the fact that we know he is in negotiations means they are going well. We must be in discussions with several other players who only have one season left to run but Hyam is the only one officially announced as being "in negotiation". I take that to mean that it's pretty much a done deal...

It was obvious the current owner was going to walk away if they didn't make it back to the Prem ASAP. There's no money to be made for foreign owners outside of the top flight.

I take no pleasure from Villa as a club being in the shit, just goes to show how fucked football is in this country. How long before Bruce resigns? End of the day, tomorrow maybe?

I hope we keep Stokes, decent cover for LB and CB and a good pro to have amongst the younger players.

Or Doyle in a player/coach role perhaps?

I said the same thing but he's interesting several championship clubs apparently

Apart from anything else, all footballers and strikers especially, go through huge variations in form. I seem to remember a certain Callum Wilson achieved naff all for quite a few seasons and was on the verge of being released before he came good and made a career for himself. George Thomas...

They've kept Stead on as well so that gives them a fair amount of firepower for next season. Much as I dislike Nolan, a good friend of mine is a County fan so I hope they make it up next season for his sake.

My new favourite player before he's even kicked a ball. Loving this signing, he's no one's cast off, he's clearly level headed and determined to make it as a pro. He's the right age to really kick on and would seem he has an eye for goal. Best of all we knew nothing about the signing until after...

If we were in need of another keeper Lewis Price wouldn't be a bad shout.

OK i'll give you that, not many recently though

FFS no more than you have any evidence he's going to stay. Its an opinion, just not the same as yours.

Possible i suppose but i think a big pay day in America or China while he does his coaching badges probably has more appeal.

This may be a bit of a left field suggestion but Bury have just released Andrew Tutte, formerly of Rochdale and Man City. Still only 27 and has clocked up quite a few appearances at league one level. I watched him quite a few times playing for Dale and while he never set the world alight he...

He mentioned in his statement when he opted to leave Villa that he'd had offers from Turkey, China and the MLS.

He's 34 not 32. 5 goals from 26 appearances for Sheff U this term but i don't know how many of those appearances were starts, i suspect not many, so on that basis its possibly not a bad a return rate.

True, but i'd be surprised if we don't

Erhun Oztumer scored 15 goals from 45 appearances in a poor Walsall side this term. Bit surprised they are letting him go. Sign him up Robins!
