Aston Villa announced a list of ten released players today, including Nigel Reo-Coker, Robert Pires and John Carew.
Robert Pires has spoken to Thierry Henry about joining New York Red Bulls, but still needs to speak to Gerard Houllier and Randy Lerner about his future with Aston Villa.
Robert Pires, brought in when Gerard Houllier was appointed manager of Aston Villa, considers the boss more of a father figure than anything else. If that's so, AVFC have a rather twisted family dynamic.
Aston Villa's financial situation might not be terrifying, but Randy Lerner wants wages cut. That means out with the aging veterans and in with talent Villa have developed themselves.
Former Arsenal and Villarreal winger Robert Pires has signed for Aston Villa. While Pires will bring experience to the squad, don't expect him to displace the Villa's exciting young starters.
Of all the positions that Aston Villa need depth in, attacking midfield is not one of them. Yet Villa are set to sign former Arsenal winger Robert Pires.
Should Aston Villa be concerned with adding experience to guide their youth, or should they be focusing on saving their pennies for the January transfer window?
