Him and amavi as our full backs would be great going forward. Maybe not as good defending tho. Would be very exiting!

Possibly due to the amount of abuse certain posters hurl the second someone post something they don't agree with.

Please don't try to victimize yourself, Joppe.  We respect everyone's opinions here, but after a while your constant negativity and doommongering wears down on everyone else here.  Whenever we lose a game, you flood this forum with posts of "this is the worst team EVER, we're fucked"  and  "[insert player who fucked up's name here] is the worst player I've seen of ALL TIME, why isn't he gone yet???".  Whenever we sign a player, you always have something negative to say about them, usually "too old, too short, too shit, etc."  While I don't agree with his actions, I'm not surprised to see another long time poster go off on you and get a lot of thanks for doing it.  Whether you realize it or not, you rain on everyone else's parade here and after how terrible of a season last year and Randy's last 5 were, most of us really want to just get behind RDM and Dr. Xia without nitpicking every single thing that has gone wrong, especially when they're doing so many things right.  That said, please continue to post and be as much of a miserable fuck as you want to be.  Most of us here will continue to ignore you, but don't be surprised of some blow up at you again.

I'm not victimizing nothing. I'm simply putting forward the simple idea that it's possible to have different opinions without abusing people. It's not only moronic, but it hampers any football debate one could have. You don't agree? Fine, argue it.

Or maybe I should go the high intellectual way of Dan and calling you a twat for not agreeing with me. Then you have the usual suspects on here like Jim, Dan and what that likes each other posts constantly to get some kinda epeen forum boost going, and that's when they are not busy adressing other posters with abuse or digs. Like a facebook weirdo liking their own posts. Maybe they are lovers or something. Who knows.

Lets remember Walker also was perceived to be a "poor defender" when he came to us but he progressed and is a totally different player today. Given a long run I could see Yedlin really doing well here. Him and Amavi would be really dangerous down the flanks I think.

People seem to think Amavi isn't a good defender himself but I remember him handling Marhez like no-one else last season so the potential is there.

Villa's former assistant and caretaker manager Eric Black says Rangers will have a good professional on their hands if Lescott does sign.

'I think he will cope absolutely fine with life at Rangers,' said Black.

'That will be no problem for him at all. I've got to be honest, I don't see too much fazing him.

'Rangers are going to get a top professional, a top individual who is a very experienced and very capable defender.'

He's a guy who trains every day, a player who approaches every session as if it's his first. Joleon has such a brilliant appetite for the game. That will be obvious to anyone who works with him.

"And he's a good bloke. By that, I mean he's a leader in the dressing room. I found him great to work with at Villa."

No wonder he failed so fucking badly if this is how he sees the world.

What a sugarbag

Delighted to get him away from the club either way. Absolute poison.

VillaBill wrote:We signed Lescott about 5yrs too late, he has been a good player there is no doubting that, but I am glad he has gone.
Just heard Benteke has gone to Palace for £32m as well, I would of thought Benteke would be at a better level than them

Best left back.....Charlie Aitken (one for the oldies).
