I'd be happy with that.
Or declan coming off the bench to take on tired full backs.

Re: Villa left back Joe Bennett to sign on free transfer
Previous to 2015-16 he's had a number of appearances at good levels but he's also been judged as being Villa's third left-back this year. Hopefully he can get back on track here (capped at England youth is quite nice to have on your CV) and we've seen something they haven't, but not necessarily an improvement, especially as we have so much hope for Declan John.

Even if there a couple more that have slipped my (your) attention that still demonstrates a totally different attitude towards Dec by Slade and Trollope. You are just making my point for me.

You said Slade did not play him. Retract that statement then we can move on.

Slade played him 10 times.
Trollope has played him 4 times and is going to replace him with Bennett.
So my post you decided to have a go at is correct. Do you agree?

my guess is we have taken a hit on the wage for a free transfer

They say the truth hurts and that's why some posters get abusive. Last season we had a perfectly good manager who took us close to the play-offs but that was not good enough for people like TOBW, gringo and countless others who think we have a divine right to be successful. They moaned about every part of Slades management, now it's come back to bite them on the arse they don't like it.

IMO, most of the posters you allude to simply wanted (and still want) to see competent, exciting, competitive football. That's all.
If it also brings league success - great.
These posters have said as much on here - consistently.
If you - yourself - were a serious poster, then it would be doubtful that there would be another poster on this board as apparently divorced from reality.
However, as you are a known full time WUM and have been since you posted as CrazyHorse (and whatever daft WUM personas before that), I cannot comprehend why anybody takes you seriously!
Akin to 'chris' without the smileys or the err.. 'humour', and ... sporting a daft, smug-mug Slade avatar :biggrin:
Give it up for goodness sake. It's pointless!
