There are two reasons why we shouldn't have signed Sidwell; Craig Gardner is the first, and Sidwell being average at best is the second. Gardner it seems to me is underrated by the Villa faithful, owing to the disgraceful lack of opportunities he's been given, and the few chances he has got have either been at right back or on the right side of midfield, when he is clearly a central midfielder. I'd love to think that Scrumpy is right, and that Barry might indeed stay, then leave for free at the end of the season, but I see two reasons why this won't happen. The first is that we don't seem to have that much money, and so any transfer fee would be 'appreciated. Secondly, and more importantly, I think Barry would be wasting his time with us. Even with him on board, I can't see us challenging for a top 4 spot next season, so what would be the point of him staying from his point of view? I’d be gutted, but unsurpirsed, to see Gardner go.

But, if we cant I would love to see MON sign: -Sami Hyppia I think he be a quality replacement. He would bring the experience, some of the quality and the stability that Villa lacked when Laursen got injured! And... hes out of contract which ultimately means - a quality centre half for free! UTV! On the Martin Laursen retirement subject,

The youngster will only get better and better, and is also one of the most versatile players (lb, rb, winger, midfield). I even have a theory that Barry may stay for just one last Hurrah. Cement his place in the World Cup team (not just squad), be able to go on a Bosman at the end of the year and play CL or play CL with his first choice team (i.e. Villa) and earn himself a well deserved top contract.
