The increase of Aston Villa fans on a matchday has been a regular occurrence lately in the Transfer Tavern and although we love the pleasure of their company, seeing them drown their sorrows in pint after pint is not a pretty sight.

They haven’t had much to cheer about so far this season, as they occupy the bottom spot of the Premier League with only one win in eleven games so far in their disappointing season. When Tim Sherwood took over in February last season Villa fans were in a similar situation, facing a relegation battle that looked as if it would go down to the wire.

Sherwood managed to retain Villa’s Premier League status, finishing 3 points above the dreaded drop but after an underwhelming season so far, Sherwood has been relieved of his duties and Remi Garde has been given the objective of revitalising Villa’s season.

With a squad of players providing poor performances and no sign of an increase in fortunes, Garde must look to the January transfer window to build a squad of his own. Out with the old, in with the new, here are 5 players that we think Garde should axe in the January transfer window.
