For me, at the moment I'd favour a midfield 3 of Kamara as a DM, Luiz slightly further forward, and Ramsey as an AM, sacrificed periodically for a second striker as circumstances dictate.
I may be in the minority, but I quite like it. The material looks pretty cheap, but then it always does. I quite like the off-white/cream colour of the sponsor.
Edit.. I should just say that over the last year I've come to loathe the slightly darker red stripes of the current kit. No idea why, I have no issues with stripes on kits normally, and I quite like embossed patterns.
I know of at least two villa fans who have been demanding Gerrards head on a stake since last Christmas. It doesn't actually matter what he does, or who he signs.
If Carlos has pace (and I have no idea as I've never seen him play, but I gather from this forum that that is the case) it will allow us to play a higher line without worrying about Mings weekly brainfart. We'll have someone who can always get back if needed.
That is an essential part of an effective press, and could be a game changer.
Putting to one side that he's a word removed for a second, I'm sure he could do a job for us. He's a naturally talented player who destroyed defences when he was in his prime.
Unfortunately he's also a word removed.
