Striker
Nathaniel Clyne.
Alan Hutton.
There's two and I don't have Football Manager, nor do I religiously read 442 magazine. I imagine there tonnes of better right backs in Germany, Holland and France etc.
Except neither of them are.

I agree 100% with these. I don't get the criticism of Bardsley. He's a solid mid-table Premier League full back playing for a mid-table Premier League club. Some fans have ideas above their station - If we are only making 3 or 4 quality signings this season is right back really more of a priority than 2 strikers and a creative/pacy midfielder?
Right back is low on our list of priorities for at least another season, probably more likely 2 or 3.

Are you Steve Bruce?
Alan Hutton is dogshite, and is hated by the fans at Villa because of it.
Wouldn't mind Clyne however.
Err, they are. And Hutton showed that he was much better than Bardsley when he was on loan to us. It was a joy to watch a right back actually get forward and contribute to our attacking play.
Try telling the Villa fans that, he's been shocking for them, the fans don't like him.
As for Clyne, he gets linked to lower-end Premier League clubs every transfer window, but nobody ever bids for him. I don't know much about him, but there's got to be a reason for this.

Bardo has improved vastly since his short tenure at Villa.
He's certainly not as bad as some on here make out.
He's consistently average.
This
He doesn't deserve the stick he gets on here at all
I didn't know this but apparently it's correct. O'Neill had him as a player on loan at Villa in 2008 and released him to go back to Man U. Wasn't interested in pursuing him on a permanent deal.
I can't imagine that was cost related and I can't think he has changed as a player dramatically (Suppose he has improved a bit, at least in our fans eyes due to his POTS award)
Does suggest that perhaps O'Neill doesn't rate him (I do hope though he is not planning on playing Cuellar there and we get a proper RB)?
Bardsley would be a good squad player but his passing is shockingly bad and isn't that good defensively.
For me after bringing in new strikers in we should be looking to replace Bardsley.

We replaced him already.
He's slow, he hoofs the ball rather than passing it, he's poor positionally. And his aimless punts towards the back post from a deep position dont count as contributing to an attack. :roll:
He's also a thug and is likely to get sent off at any moment. More so than another other player IMHO. Including Cattermole.
I see its still the In thing to diss Bardsley.
Of all our our squad he isnt even in the top five of problem positions or players.
This, I don't think people realise how much not having an attacking fullback inhibits us. "Aye but he tackles hard and pumps his fists" is most peoples response.
