As a forest fan I could not tell you how good Gardner was for us last season. Breaking up play from the middle, making clever passes, travelling forward with the ball and scoring some thunderous goals. He is the sort of player that seems to have more time on the ball and more space than anyone else around him.
In regards to Bunn, you can't start him! Awful against us, released from Norwich and you say he looked poor in the cup. Not premier league standard, I would not want him on a free!
I would line up something like this
...........................Guzan...........................
Hutton ....Richards ......Clarke/Okore .......Richardson
Gil.............Gardner ............... Gana...........Amavi
........................................Grealish.....................
.....................Sinclaire....................................
If I was in charge of Villa, I would pull out all the stops to try and sign Valdés, he said he would be willing to go to Newcastle and Manchester united said they would release him for someone they don't class as a rival. I would also try to sign Carlton Cole until the end of the season as I cant think of another striker with more premier experience, who does score goals and is available to sign as a free agent.
....................................Valdés............................
Hutton..............Richards ......Clarke/Okore.........Amavi
Gil..................Gardner..............Gana............Grealish
............................Cole............Sinclaire................
Who'd be a manager? Difficult one this. Everybody says it's team for Tim to stop tinkering and stick with one formation for a bit. Then there are players like Gardner pressing for a place.
Don't think Gardner's played at all for us, even from the bench, this season, so the answer may be to introduce him from the bench. But maybe Tim's bolder than that.
Re the rest, not sure either Clark or Okore are ready to play yet so may still be Lescott, but we have alternatives, like Crespo, or moving Richardson into the middle. Up front not at all sure what would be best against Swansea. Gestede has some pluses but lacks pace. Maybe Sinclair would be a good call, maybe with Ayew alongside. How about:
Guzan
Hutton Richards Richardson Amavi
Gardner Gana
Veretout Grealish Ayew
Sinclair

Jan is a farce. Nobody any good moves in Jan.
We signed Bent in Jan. He kept us up for two seasons.
We messed it up with goalies in the summer. We obviously hoped to get Bergovic, and let Given go for that reason. Once it was clear we were stuck with Guzan there wasn't much time to do anything about it. Bunn was available on a free.
