Villa Centre Half Edges Closer To Permanent Move - Don't We Need Him Now

Should have used him more than we did. The decision to play Samba and Jedinak ahead of him looked incorrect, I imagine he is desperate to leave having been pushed so far down the pecking order. Hopefully we can get a few million for him.
 
I Imagine he's on decent wages £30k week ? So yes makes sense to sell. He also isn't getting any younger or better
 
It all helps and the more we can get in from the sale of fringe players the less pressure is on selling those we want to keep.
 
Yeah just keep selling, I wonder what Gabby is doing in August for £10,000 a week he can play for us.
 
We need a tall, quick centre-back at the heart of the defence and as much as he's great for the dressing room etc, unfortunately, Tommy doesn't possess those attributes plus I would imagine he is on a large salary so let him go by all means and get what money we can.

It seems every other team in the championship has got a tall, quick centre-back and most of them recruited from a lower league club so let's see what our scouts have been up to?
 
He's been an absolute calamity from his debut onwards. Seems a decent guy but he's probably on a hefty wage and any money we can get for him is a bonus in my opinion.
 
Elphick can only play rightsided centreback, which means Chester would have to play leftsided, unless we played three at the back, when he could fit in in the centre spot. Chester is competent at leftsided centreback but, excellent as a rightsided centreback.
We badly need a leftsided centreback and left back.

I think the defence was the least of our problems last season , and Samba barely played and I can't see how Baker would have improved things.

Baker and Chester were forming quite a good partnership before Baker was sold.
Samba is like Richards and Agbonlahor, gets injured tying his boot laces, plays maybe an average of five or six games a season over a contract, averaging something like half a mill a game played.
 
We need our scouts to earn their money this summer . Must be some good young CB's in league 1 / 2 we can look at
