“It’s absolute nonsense. Over the coming months we’re looking to add to the quality of the Villa squad, not detract from it," he told the clubs official website, www.avfc.co.uk
"We are currently operating with a squad of 17 players and out of that 17 there are five whose contracts will be up at the end of the season.
"Wherever we finish this season, whether it is first or last, the fact of the matter is that we need more players in here."
