I do hope so - Gobby has no place in the same sentence as Ollie
-
No you are 100 % per cent correct - but he and Gary were both better than Ollie and that is no slight whatsoever on him.
-
I see what you did there but it’s still probably Andy Gray or Gary Shaw
-
You are right - that’s so much better than it looks from first sight
-
I really hope we can get something today - but fear that the pre Christmas form has already faded and unlikely to return this season. I think Kamara’s presence could have helped greatly today. I like his mentality It would be fantastic to get something and heap more pressure on spuds going into their game with Arsenal. We know Spuds don’t have a easy run in and if we can put some day light between us, that they then have to sit on for two weeks, this could feed into anxiety ahead of the Gooners clash. But a demoralising result today - might just see us run out of steam for the run in. I would also be very tempted to start Diaby today
-
I absolutley want to keep him, there are very fine margins in elite football and right now, I would acknowledge that he is on the wrong side of these margins - however I have seen enough to believe that he will cross over to the right side of these margins. I think anyone who has played competitive football regardless of the level, will have gone through periods when nothing goes quite right? I think next season he starts ( that’s if he is here)

I am not disagreeing with you.
-
Yes I feel the same - If Ollie’s first touch improves as you say, it could catapult him into elite status among the very best strikers of this era on an international level.
-
Yes I agree with this assessment - but in fairness it’s something that could be levelled at the majority of wingers throughout the ages.
-
That’s a big call to say that he is a better passer of the ball, than Buendia imo. I have always thought of Buendia as being capable of unlocking any defence. I am not saying this will always be the case but right now, I think Buendia is a much better footballer.
-
No you are right - he is a baller, I like him too.

You know what - Sid is not our greatest post war player, this is Paul, who is also our greatest ever player imo - but just to even have Sid in the conversation, just shows how highly we think of him. Absolute Villa legend - just does not even do justice to Sid.
-
Thank you for sharing and yes you are right , Sid was awesome

Totally agree - let’s be fair Toney is not a bad player at all, Personally I just don’t care for him, in regards to his attitude and think Ollie deserves his seat on the plane over Toney but I would be tempted to take all three tbh.
-
Many Villa fans thought that Sticks was awful, but through sheer hard work and dedication, he eventually won the support of most fans. Did ok in the end - total opposite to Callaghan

Totally agree - Trez dreadful footballer. AEG defo had a bit of something about him, just so very inconsistent

But why ? He has shown already he has plenty to offer us.
-
They both offer differing options imo - I do rate Toney and personally I think he will be Southgate’s go to back up striker, however I don’t particularly like his demeanour, Ollie is much more humble and grounded and based on this season Ollie should be the back up guy - it’s a no brainer for me.
-
That’s just your opinion - I challenge this on both the Bailey and Trezeguet perspectives - Trezeguet is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen. Just my opinion of course

This really has been a difficult season from an injuries perspective - the fact that we are, where we are, is an incredible achievement. Imagine what might have been with Emi and JJ providing extra attacking impetus, along with Ty’s presence on the pitch. Remarkable !
-
You make a very good point - I can’t really see much difference in circumstances and I am definitely willing to give him more time. I think there is definitely a player in there

I think the reality of Duran being here in two season is unlikely never mind 4 - equally I think he will go on to enjoy a really good career elsewhere
-
Gabby could run very very fast, but not much else imo. Duran’s ceiling is significantly a lot higher - again imo
-
Never really considered him unplayable tbh with you. Sure if he kicked the ball in a straight line past you, he would most likely win the race to the ball, but never really offered much beyond this. I just didn’t like his attitude - in my opinion he lacked awareness of his own limitations as a footballer and therefore he had an over inflated view of himself - again this is just my opinion of course. Its interesting that as far as I can recall - we never received much interest in his services, and equally more telling for me, I never heard opposing fans, say they would have liked him in their team. Thankfully we now have much better strikers
-
Gabby scored 84 goals in over 300 games for us. Even his biggest fans could not call this “ smashing it “ dreadful footballer, who continues to steal a living as a pundit. Dont think I have ever felt more annoyed as a fan, than the time Bruce exclaimed “ Gabby has been in at 08:30 because we were playing Blues at the weekend
