conorm Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 F365 have been running a fun feature on which three players fans would bring back to enhance their current team. So, who do you think would best help the Villa cause at the moment? For me, we are obviously missing leadership, experience and defensive stability so I would bring McGrath and Laursen back without a shadow of a doubt. My last pick is a bit trickier. There are lots of great options for midfield - the composure of Cowans, the spirit of Taylor and the grit of Richardson - but for me something we have lacked for years is a link with the attack, a thrust from midfield which allows to take a game to opponents. And so, despite him not being a unanimous fan favourite, I'd give my third place to Platt. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Keeping it fairly recent. I'd love to see Laursen, Barry and Young back in this team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conorm Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Milner a great shout. Yorke obviously legendary - just don't think our strikers are too problematic at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Imagine Yorke sat in the Nr10 role behind Benteke, I think that would work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 McGrath, Milner,Merson (even though the thought of a McGrath, Laursen cb pairing would be very tempting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Laursen, Milner and Barry. We'd be a pretty decent team with just those 3 eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 McGrath, Townsend, Yorke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm just going to go with players currently still playing. Cahill, Young and Milner With Barry and Walker just behind them I'd love to see Young back in Gabbys current position sending crosses into Benteke, Milner would definately help our midfield and Cahill to help shore up the defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 if its players still playing Mellberg, Bouma and Barry we would be probably top 10 with them 3 alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted April 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hendrie - while Bannan does an admirable job, nobody plays the pantomime villain better than Hendrie. He'd do a superb job in behind the forwards. Laursen - some steel and experience at the back and an attacking threat from corners Petrov - we need a leader in the middle of the park All of them bleed Claret and blue. Something we need in our current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jonno Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Keeping it recent too, Id go with: Laursen - Dominant in the area, threat of set pieces and a truly inspirational defender, and a leader. Would undoubtedly sharpen up our defense. James Milner - Hard working but with ability to back it up. Him in CM would be a god send. Ashley Young - Would offer some much needed width and has the ability to run at players and beat them, something we lack this year. I think no one drives often, or good enough with the ball. His crosses into tekkers would be amazing to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Those still playing: Cahill, Millner & Barry. Those not: Macca, Mortimer & Morley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
