Also that Mon wants Owen to spearhead the attack with big JC. - Chrisodon Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:06:02 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18348 Who is this Pantsil guy?

Scannel would be a great signing for 2 mill.The futures looking bright. - Villa Nut Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:55:03 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18337 I havent seen this lad play for CP but ive seen him play for the ROI U18 Team and looks quite the prospect. If we could get him for around 2 mil it would be a good deal for the future. - Darragh Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:28:03 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18336 1.5 Rising to 3 mil due to add on fees would be nice. - Chrisodon Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:35:39 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18335 Excellent article. Whether Scannel is good enough is debatable but if we were to knock that price down a bit i'd go for it. Superbly written Damian. - Brian_avfc Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:25:12 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18331 I actually think Maloney was better when he couldn't get into the squad and would have to shine in 20 minutes off the bench. - jeremiaswodo Thu, 27 Mar 2008 04:23:29 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18329 Hairy- NRC's been rock-solid in central mid-- again, MON paid heavily for him. Harewood's been a solid squad striker and a good late-game pace changer; WeeeeShaun has had some moments where he's given defenses hell. With Routledge, I'd say to be patient. Ashley Young wasn't immediately amazing last January- it took time. I realize it's tough to be patient when we've been watching crap form the last three games, but O'Neill's had us steadily improving. Last year our crap run was December, and we finished 10th. This year it's March, and we're sitting 7th. Next year, we may have the squad to avoid a crap run, and finish the top four with a solid run in cup competitions. The last three games have been bad, but big picture, Villa's looking very, very good. - kayarcee Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:30:12 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18328 He's young and promising, get him in. That's Bullard and him, I'm already making good progress. - nan was a fan Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:33:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18327 I just think the Rout isn't good enough, he wasn't good enough at spuds, pompy or fulham so why would he be good enough for us? MON has a habit of trying to find a diamond in the rough, granted he got that with young, but who else has he brought in thats realy that good!!! probably the only other one would be davis, but the pair of them weren't cheap, so it looks like you get what you pay for, if you tot up what we have wasted on the other average players we could have got a realy good one or two!!! its time to go and buy proven quality not maybe mightbe's - Hairy H Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:43:47 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18326 What's with the slating of Damian everytime he writes an article for his Blog. It's a Blog, his opinion, not an article full of facts about Aston Villa. By all means we should disagree with his points if we want but quit with the " You spelt that wrong", "Your facts aren't quite right", I Don't like the headline". Everytime we're linked with a player there are two main questions. Is he good enough? Will he come to us? - theprimeminister Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:38:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18325 Routledge get's a fairly decent wage and lack's confidence so there for can't do his job and run about with a ball at his feet make a few crosses or in his loss of confidence did he forget the basics of football ?. Christ there's Millions of people who lack confidence and still do there job so that's a load of shite in my opinion he lacks confidence, he just can't be arsed to do the work he's being paid to do. - Chrisodon Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:38:10 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18324 "His preferred position is up front but he has also played on the wing for Crystal Palace and has done well in both positions." Sounds like the perfect person to push young Gabriel Agbonlahor for his place. - kayarcee Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:47:18 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18321 This 'confidence' issue is funny. Why buy a player whose confidence had allready been shattered anyway if you dont intend to give him an opportunity. I acually feel sorry for Routhledge - no matter how bad we play - MoN doesn't believe in changing things up or giving players a chance to impress and put pressure on the starting 11. For a manager who constantly gets described as having great man management skills - the Routhledge affair suggests otherwise. I am not suggesting that Routhledge is a world beater by any means but at least give the lad a chance. Its not as though we have much quality down the right flank.... - eoin1981 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:20:20 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2273/70/#comment-18320 He's lacking confidence, but surely you only get that by actually playing - Chrisodon Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:31:06 +0100
