Villa left back Joe Bennett to sign on free transfer

[jon1959]

So Slade didn't play Declan?

Once last season. Can't remember if he started any the season before when Slade was in charge. The exception makes the point.

[LordKenwyne]

They could even consider moving Declan forward into left midfield.
He has pace, a good cross and a good shot.

I'd be happy with that.

Or declan coming off the bench to take on tired full backs.

[surge]

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.

Not selective. I said I couldn't remember the season before. So you have found one league game from 14-15, and I said there was one from 15-16. Result = 2 league starts in 18 months under Slade.

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.

I retract that statement. Slade hardly played him. Happy?

[surge]

I thought I was pedantic.

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?

Surprised you've indulged him this long - he's not worth it.

if they are wrong they disappear like gone with the wind, clark gable vivien leigh

if they think they can have a dig they turn up like bees round a honeypot and have a furious masterbating session.

What on earth does that middle bit mean ?

We really do have some crap wind up merchants on here these days.

[thehumblegringo]

did you get my message bob, I'm not sure if it sent

[life on mars]

He's got a year on his contract according to their chairman, so I'd imagine we are paying a fee to him to cover the shortfall in the wages we're giving him and his existing deal. Say he's on 20k a week at Villa, we'll pay him that for the first year, and then the wages will drop down to 10k ish afterwards. That's my guess anyway!

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

Right up there with his Stevie Wonder wouldnt want to watch Cardiff joke. The thick tw@t.

Chris should be terminated with fatty.

Come on Mike, there is no point to having him on this board.

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.

nice to see the type of posters you are aligning yourself with.

well you cant beat a dollop of trollope as they say, and thats all your gonna get.

he should keep you safe from the dreaded drop for another year, if your expectations are any higher you are going to be seriously disappointed.

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

Give it up for goodness sake. It's pointless!
