Get rid of the old guys and let the next gen boys play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next season will be a reality check for Villa. They are losing money hand over fist right now with their wage bill, even if the owner is happy to continue the FL will clamp down.

That backline that started in the Playoff final was ancient and the likes of Snodgrass and Jedinak arent getting any younger. I could definitely see Grealish going and that would leave them with very little. They gambled on experience getting them up and unfortunately they failed and are stuck with an expensive and aging squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few decent players but they're quickly resembling a championship side. Lansbury, Hogan, Hourihane etc are very much suited to this level.

Adomah is a good player but hes 30 and not a Premier League player either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempus Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Lampard is the new Debry manager. That came out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite like Lampard but I dont have high hopes that this works out well. Derby arent very patient with managers and Lampard doesnt even have any experience as an assistant. Seems like a weird roll of the dice from a side that finished in the playoff spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once those parachute payments run out it's a scary time. Going up was such a relief for us because we'd have likely been in a similar situation and our window probably would have shut.

It makes way more sense for Lampard than Derby. Derby are a playoff calibre side year in year out and have one of the larger budgets in the league, for sure he will have sought guarantees around funds etc before signing up. For Derby it's strange, Neil Warnock has just proven experience can be key in that division unless you have Ruben Neves in midfield. I hope they smash Stoke though.

The lose of these players has driven their assets way down and effected their bottom line, its incredible. The players made the right choice the ultras and president are the ones to blame. William Carvalho being able to walk away is astounding, the figures being quoted for him over the last three years or so were so high.

kempus Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 That's some very serious talent that's leaving. Spurs should be all over Gelson Martins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
