Agreed, lets see what happens now hes gone to a club where he will have to fight for his place and isnt viewed as a hero by the BM's whatever he does.
I wish him the best, but cant say I was ever a fan. He lost my respect when he realised he was first name on the team sheet (being a local lad etc) and didnt have to work for his place, so he didnt.
Thanks Dick, but I wont be sheding any tears!
Well we shall see,you don't rate any of them so you will be happy for them all to go to be replaced with Hamilton Academical ReservesI fell off my seat after this bit.
I always thought Stearman was one of the more slated players myself, certainly at my end of the ground he could do no right. It took a long time for people to accept that his form had improved under IH and he deserved his place in the side.

...yes he did improve under Holloway but as I said earlier in the thread I don't think it was because of IH - I'm pretty sure Stearman knew that Villa had a scout watching him at every match & obviously other clubs watching him from time to time as well. His poor form for half the season and a full year or so of poor form before that with this sudden improvement does him little credit.
Bang onI know the level of replacements may not have the track record we have been used to, but if they can give us the effort I will be behind them more than the shower we have watched for last few seasons.
I dont know anything, inside info wise, but would you stay if the unlce Milan had said he had accepted an offer for you and would quite like it if you left? IMO if we wanted to stop him going to Wolves then we could.
So that means he has capacity if he can only be bothered.
That's why I think he will do well in Wolves (which I have said three times now).
We already have a good replacement at the club.
Just to point out, it may be that the club want these players to go to reduce the wage bill and to generate some cash for any incoming players.
I also take into account the majority of our players would be happy to move up into a better league, but I bet that the club aren't completely disappointed they are leaving for decent sums of money.
The budget will be severely affected by relegation (marketing revenue will be slashed) and as generous as mad milan is, he wants some money back in his pocket and this is the easiest way while conveying the usual media front that he is ploughing his cash into the playing side to ensure a swift return to the Championship.
Spot on Dunc, read on Bentleys roof that some of the players were being persuaded to move on despite wanting to stay.
