MON could be making a big mistake!

Martin O’Neill is to allow several players to leave this summer so it can bolster is transfer kitty for next season but I’m questioning a couple of his decisions.

Curtis Davis has been linked with moves to both Spurs and Liverpool. This is a side who finished in the top four and another one which will no doubt be back challenging for the top four again next season wanting a player who is apparently not good enough for Aston Villa.

I like Curtis a lot and I believe he will one day represent England at the top level so I don’t see why O’Neill would rather keep James Collins who isn’t anywhere near as good as some make him out to be. Yes he’s good in the air but apart from that he is terrible.

And this leads me to the other player, Luke Young. Again because of O’Neill’s persistent to play James Collins it is forcing out the best English right back around. He couldn’t drop Carlos Cuellar because he is possibly our best defender when he plays in his own rightful position so that leave’s Luke Young in the wildness.

I don’t question many of Martin’s decision’s but I firmly believe that letting both of the two players I’ve mentioned could turn out to be a major regret for Martin.

Meanwhile John Carew has been linked with a move to Italy and Villa have been linked with a move for Adam Matthews of Cardiff.

Davis and Bouma continue there comeback

Last night Curtis Davis and Wilfred Bouma continued their comeback to first team football in a reserve match which sore us thrash Wolves 3-0.
The game was probably much closer than the score line suggests but the important part was for Davis, and Bouma to come through unscathered.
James Collins (2) and Harry Forrester got the goals for the away side as the Villa Reserves continue their good form this season.
The reserves are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table as they aim to retain their title.
Moustapha Salifou also featured in this game, his first game since the incident with the Togo national side in the Africa Nations last month.
It was a good result for Villa, as Wolves had a very strong side out.

VILLA: Bevan; Lichaj, Bouma, Clark, Davies; Salifou, Osbourne, Hogg; Weimann, Collins, Hofbauer. Substitutes: Forrester, Roome, Carruthers, Simmonds, Roberts.
WOLVES: Hennessey; Halford, Stearman, Elokobi, Friend; Surman, Castillo, Milijas, Mujangi; Maierhofer, Vokes. Substitutes: McCarey, Dunleavy, Hemmings, Spray.

Bouma & Davis step up there comeback.

Wilfred Bouma and Curtis Davis last night stepped up there comeback to first team action by both completing 90 minutes for the Reserve side in a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Villa Park.

Bouma, whos been out of action for around 16 months played his first game since his long term injury problems, while Curtis Davis continued his comeback, after appearing against Brighton in the FA Cup.

Villa took the lead when Andreas Weimann put the ball past Chelsea keeper Rhys Taylor in the seventh minute.

However, the lead didnt last two long as the visitors equalised within three minutes. Kenny Strickland slotted home for Chelsea just inside the penalty area.

Villa got there lead back when Jonathon Hogg crossed the ball into there area, where Curtis Davis headed the ball in the direction of Ciaran Clarke who converted a fantastic overhead kick.

Villa confirmed the victory in the last minute when Hogg was once again involved with the goal. He headed the ball back across the goal from a cross, for Weimann to score his second of the night and give the reserves all three points.

Despite the victory, the spotlight was very much on Bouma, and Davis and they successfully come through there first step back to full fitness.

Davis going nowhere!

Martin O’Neill has today ruled out a move that would see Curtis Davis join up with Scottish giants Celtic on loan for the remainder of the season.

O’Neill stated he wasnt in the position to allow the central defender link back up with former manager Tony Mowbray.

Meanwhile, im expecting Villa to announce more details relating Carling Cup Final tickets which are due to go on sale on Wednesday, at some point today.

We already know that tickets will be available from 9am on Wednesday morning to season ticket holders only, priced at around £35-£80 depending on where you sit in the stadium.

Preview: Aston Villa v Brighton & Hove Albion

After booking our place in the Carling Cup Final against Blackburn on Wednesday night, tomorrow we are in action in the FA Cup. This time up is League 1 outfit Brighton.

Brighton have recently got back to back wins, with one of those in the Midlands with a 2-1 win over Walsall at Bescott last weekend.

There are expected to be many changes for Villa, with Brad Friedel, Carlos Cueller, Stiliyan Petrov, James Milner, Ashley Young and Emile Heskey all expected to be rested.

Curtis Davis could make a return after a lenghty stay on the injury table but will have to proove his fitness, while Wilfred Bouma is also close to return but it is expected that this weeks game will come to early for him.

Brighton will be missing on loan defender Marcos Painter as he is cup tied, so Jim McNulty is expected to come into the fold.

Gus Poyet’s side will no doubt come to Villa Park knowing they have everything to gain, and nothing to lose so this wont be no walk in the park.

Avillafan.com Prediction: Home win.
