Villa have named the squad for the new season just 22 names
Brad Friedel, Brad Guzan, James Collins, Carlos Cuellar, Curtis Davies, Habib Beye, Richard Dunne, Eric Lichaj, Stephen Warnock, Luke Young, Stewart Downing, Jonathan Hogg, Stephen Ireland, Isaiah Osbourne, Stiliyan Petrov, Nigel Reo-Coker, Moustapha Salifou, Steve Sidwell, Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor, John Carew, Emile Heskey
Now this does not include the likes of Bannan, Albrighton, Clark as the three kids to make an impression this season but includes the likes of Salifou, Hogg, Lichaj and Osbourne then you can see how bad the state of the squad is for the next 4 months.
We have had some injuries and managed them but more will happen (Lichaj in the reserves last night) and with just 22 senior players of which 4 are hardly that and 3 or 4 kids then we have to pray for good luck to the senior players and the key ones, Gabby, Young(s), Dunne, Petrov, Collins
Just to be clear I want the likes of Albrighton, Clark to have chances but in some areas we have precious little known quality cover. It is OK playing Albrighton for some games but he will need a rest for a week or two what happens then ?
So one or two of these out will be a major issue for the club and one I think we will not overcome.

Oi!! Ian Robo…a few weeks back you was shouting off about selling off so many of our established players and throwing in the kids to ease our astronomical wage bill !!

UTV
Oh and damian if you venture on here this is a good site !! you wanker
fair comment but to clarify I expect the kids to replace the likes of Davis and Beye and 3/4 extra quality players
what has happened is that they are now expected to play more games than Davies and beye still here ad the quality ha not come in
and add thi this the massive loss of Milner as Ireland is simply not good enough in the formation we have to play until Xmas because of the scare resources available
