healthyaddiction Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ferguson has failed to get in Birmingham's team so no great loss there i'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Selling all of our youngsters sounds like a positive, forward thinking move. We'll just bring a load more through because we're famous for doing that. All of Conor Newton, James Tavernier, Jonas Gutierrez, Mehdi Abeid, Shane Ferguson, Romain Amalfitano, Haris Vuckic and Adam Campbell are over 22 years old apart from Adam Campbell who is 19. I wouldn't consider them to be youngsters. They're still young enough to progress as footballers, unlike some of the dead weight in and around the first team. Luckily for them they'll be progressing somewhere else and not stagnating further here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Shane Ferguson couldn't get in a poor Birmingham team. Haris Vuckic doesn't get in a League 1 team. James Tavernier has done well in a League 1 team. Adam Campbell couldn't get a start in a Scottish Premiership team. Jonas Gutierrez couldn't get a game for Norwich. Romain Amalfitano was a free transfer that totally failed to pay off. Mehdi Abeid and maybe James Tavernier are the only players worth another look. The rest will be no loss. They're still young enough to progress as footballers, unlike some of the dead weight in and around the first team. Luckily for them they'll be progressing somewhere else and not stagnating further here. Armstrong and the other promising young player MUST be loaned out (assuming another team wants them on loan) next season. I'd loan Sammy Ameobi out too. Our young players have had their progress damaged by being used as cover (but never getting a game) for the first 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Abeid, Tavernier and Newton have all done well, plus Campbell who still could be good. Add Bigi to that and it's 5 players worth a chance who we're selling because the manager somehow needs the wages off the books. Not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Always felt Delph has much better passing and intelligence to his play. Villa fan mate of mine reckons he deserves more recognition, even maybe an England cap to see how he fairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 When he was at Leeds I thought he'd be starting most games for England by now. Shame he had some injury problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I like Delph but he seems to have only shined this season and I'd worry that he just looks the best out of a bad bunch of Vila players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 So of our squad that started this season the players that have either left or are going to consist of - Cabaye Remy Shola Krul Debuchy Oberton Ben Arfa Marvaux Newton Tavernier Gutierrez Abeid Ferguson Amalfitano Vuckic Campbell Thats a big hole to fill with loans and free transfers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Jokes aside i do think we will spend some money, but nothing like the amount that will show any serious ambition about pushing beyond mid table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't doubt that there'll be a good few people who want to leave but surely even we aren't mental enough to let them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't doubt that there'll be a good few people who want to leave but surely even we aren't mental enough to let them all. I've always wondered if we got good offers for say our 5 best players, would we accept them all or would we only let a couple go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Lescott on Twitter confiming he's leaving City then. Wouldn't be surprised if we try to sign him, though a number of packets of Quavers is unlikely to be enough in terms of wages IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, happens almost every summer where its expected a great number will leave and they never actually do. More worried about what comes in which most likely will be f*ck all than what's leaving.

Yep - you'd imagine he'd be a target but Colo staying may put a stop to it as Lescott is also left sided CB and after decent dollar in terms of wages. I'd have thought he would've been the number one choice for Colo's replacement if he had of gone back to Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'd let colo go home for free if we can bring in Lescott for the same wages. I'd make him captain as well, and tbh I'm not a massive ran of Lescott but that's more to do with the level he's been billed at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think if we'd finished 11th, we might have kept Remy (unfinished business) but having managed 10th, what else is there for him to achieve? Can see him retiring tbh, go out on a high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
