Wainy316 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 So what Villa players are going to be going then? Guzan. Benteke, Vlaar? That's a poor showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It pretty much sums up the state of our current squad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2013 It pretty much sums up the state of our current squad though Yes, they are indeed young & inexperienced It's no co-incidence that 2 of the 3 that are going are our oldest first team players and the 3rd is a bit of a superstar.

Wainy316 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Potential future internationals: Delph, Lowton, Westwood, Bacuna. Okore is international quality but obviously he's crocked and his country didn't qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The defenders for Ronnie's goal to put them 3-2 up should be shot. They gave him half the field and a solitary outfield player. He still had a lot to do but it's bloody Ronaldo. I think you can't look at the goal in a vacuum. You have to factor in what has just happened, this was the fourth goal in about ten minutes and had really put everybody involved in the game through the wringer emotionally. Keeping a cool head would have been very difficult under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah that too Wainy. We have internationals in our first team. They're just for countries that didn't qualify. That's not a reflection on the players, just the nations they play for. Just ask Gareth Bale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Surely Bacuna has a chance the way he's playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Surely Bacuna has a chance the way he's playing for us. I wouldn't rule it out. Gregory van der Wiel is their first choice RB but the second RB is certainly up for grabs. Bacuna's versatility also counts for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2013 Even as a fan of his, I'd be amazed if he was on van Gaal's radar at this stage. As much as I'd love it to be true. EDIT : Although I suppose with a season of football to play, he could play his way into his thoughts over the next 6 and a bit months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Agree. He'd have to keep up his current form throughout the rest of the season to push his way into the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
