Villa No2 McAllister insists squad does not need overhaul

Aston Villa No2 Gary McAllister insists the current squad does not need a major overhaul.

McAllister believes Villa will not require a radical overhaul of their squad as he reiterated the desire to keep Ashley Young who has one year left of his contract.

He said: "Gerard is keen to get two or three of his own players in but in previous seasons at this club before we arrived, there were some good finishes here.

"It won't need a great deal of surgery. We feel we need two or three players adding to what we have got.

"If you watched us last week at the Emirates (winning against Arsenal) that suggests that's the case.

"It's not major reshuffling but, like any manager, he wants to bring his own players in.

"They are players that can push on and press the philosophy of Gerard to his younger players and everybody here."
