    With due respect - is this really so far wide of being plausible ? I can’t remember the timeline of events so I could be totally wide of the mark - it just kinda seems possible ?

    ChesterDad replied to PieFacE's topic in Villa Talk

    I agree - I think this kid does have the attributes to be a great player. I do think however, he will probably have to go elsewhere, before he realises his potential. I think he’s likely to be a slow burn to the top. But feel sure he will get there.

    Sadly it seems as though Bertie’s time here is drawing to a close, if recent reports are to be believed. Bertie will always remain a favourite of mine, and whilst acknowledging I am in a minority - for me, he is a better footballer than Bailey. I hope he can stay around at least until this season ends just so we can enjoy this mercurial magician a little longer. I still believe he can offer us something particularly in Europe.

    I totally agree - it looked for a fleeting moment that his luck was about to change and then next minute, he was gone. Given an extended run of games, I think he might have nailed a shirt, sadly this ship has sailed.

    I think you are being a tad harsh if I may say so. we all know that Doug was Doug and his ego came before him. But despite this I do think that Villa mattered to him, more than his other excursions into football imo. I wouldn’t say he doesn’t deserve a stand named after him, we have had worse owners - but I certainly agree that there are many more deserving villans to have a stand named after them. As I’ve previously said Paul McGrath would be my preference

    I am not so sure about the too nice bit, I felt that Brian did possess a ruthless streak when it was needed. I do agree that he loves the club and is a legend without question. Personally I would probably prefer a stand to be named after Paul McGrath - but acknowledge their is just a rizla paper between preferences. I loved having him as our manager, I think his first game was a Sunday v Sheff wed ? I recall a banner in the Holte proclaiming “ Brian’s home “ said it all really.

    I do think Jack still loves the club - would you stop supporting Villa, if you got offered a pro contract ? How was he really supposed to turn down city? I’d bring Jack home tomorrow, if it was possible. Each to their own as the saying goes is applicable here I feel

    I suppose you could ask this question about any of our players? Macca, Sid, Peter Withe, Gary Shaw, the list goes on. Ugo played with distinction for a number of years - I guess others have to make this distinction? Some try to tell me Agbonlahor is a Villa legend, this overrated talentless footballer could not hold a candle to Ugo imo. I suppose it boils down to opinion at the end of the day. Regardless - Ugo was a fantastic footballer for us. I’m sure everyone agrees this much.
  9. ChesterDad
    Yes I would have thought Ugo is classed as a Villa legend
  10. ChesterDad
    I have this horrible feeling about tomorrow You know it’s football all over that they come and snaffle the points
  11. ChesterDad
    You are right - I think Ugo’s debut was against Norwich and it wasn’t good - So glad the club, stuck with him. Ugo became a Villa legend. Someone mentioned Laursen as well - don’t recall his debut tbh, but he is the only player I know that can hold a candle to Paul McGrath
  12. ChesterDad
    I care - I think he is a good player, hopefully it’s all put to bed and he can fully focus on Aston Villa.

    Such an odd thing to say with all due respect. Jack is a professional footballer and would clearly want to achieve great things in the game - why would he not? Doesn’t stop him being a villan. Just imagine having Jack, Diaby Watkins, Zaniolo, Duran, Bertie, Bailey all pushing for a forward spot?
  14. ChesterDad
    I’m really not sure myself - I think Jack is a much better footballer than Diaby and that is no reflection on him whatsoever. I would bring Jack home now, if possible. But I also rate Diaby and back him 100%
  15. ChesterDad
    I’ll say it again - come May, I honestly believe we’ll be singing his praises. He can play - he has not been great so far, I will agree this much. But you do not become a bad footballer in a short space of time.
  16. ChesterDad
    In all fairness the gap has narrowed considerably this season, and whilst I agree, Moreno will claim the spot - it won’t be quite so straightforward imo

    Unai Emery

    ChesterDad replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    You got the Good Afternoon bit right
  18. ChesterDad
    This is pretty much where I sit, I honestly do not think he is a starter - far from this in fact. His goal on Sunday was a terrific one and all credit for this, and as others have said - I too think his best role is coming off the bench at home. I’m not a huge fan tbh - however if he can continue to contribute in this manner, this has got to be a good thing all round for everyone.

    Jhon Durán

    ChesterDad replied to PieFacE's topic in Villa Talk

    I don’t think the kid is a bad signing at all. Let him develop here, and watch him grow into a really good centre forward - all the attributes are there in aplenty imo
  20. ChesterDad
    I have said this before - I believe we will be singing his praises come May.
  21. ChesterDad
    On what basis have you arrived at this conclusion ?

    Ezri Konsa

    ChesterDad replied to MaVilla's topic in Villa Talk

    I sometimes wonder if Ezri’s profile does not do him any favours ? He seems a humble and understated person to me - he has been outstanding and without question, deserving of an opportunity - but he doesn’t appear to want to beat his own drum. Seem to remember baggies fans many years ago - beating the drum on Bryan Robsons behalf, I think they bombarded the FA with letters and he did get a call up. Maybe someone with much better IT skills than I have, could start a similar campaign on behalf of Ezri??

    I agree Digne has been very good and I don’t think Alex will just walk back into the team, but also feel it will only be a matter of time.
  24. ChesterDad
    For me that is Bailey’s biggest problem - he doesn’t beat his man anywhere near enough. Seems far to content to check inside and lay it off. Probably one of the reason why I prefer Bert - he has that sense of engagement about him and not afraid to have a go at whoever he is up against
  25. ChesterDad
    That’s absolutely fine - I have no issue with you and your opinion is just as valid as mine. I don’t - but if he comes good then that’s great news for us
