mikeyp102 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Good on him going abroad to reignite his career. Looked promising here until he got that injury. Wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the film Hostel, he'll need to keep an eye on his drink. Worth the risk just for the cracking Jack & Danny out there. Simply lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Surprised to see him making a move like this, but it could be just what he needs. Get away from England, out of your comfort zone, immerse yourself in the local culture and throw yourself into football to really reignite the career. Could be the making of him. More than good enough for the championship and I think that Sheffield Wednesday would have kept him around if they didn't have financial problems or their current owner. They have let a few players go recently that have been important for them in recent seasons such as Adam Reach, who is now at the baggies. Good luck Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killeen30 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Pleased to see him doing so well. Hopefully he stays injury free and get a plenty of games under his belt. I’m sure he will return to The Championship at some point. I think going over there will do wonders for his confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mic09 Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2021 We often hear about players 'not making it' after they drop to league 1 or the belgium/greek/slovakian league. We really shouldn't look at it that way. He trained since he was a kid to become a professional footballer, something that miilions of kids never achieve. He now plays at a european level, has made himself wealthy doing so, and works in a job many would love to have. There are only so many top, elite, best in the world that can establish themselves in a top 5 league. But going to a lesser league and scoring goals is still a worthy achievement. Well done to Green, and well done to Villa for helping these players establish themselves in football. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw it as a slight that a club that signed him after he was out of contract for a while and dropped a league were moving him on so quick. I hope he smashes it. I thought thought he'd have a good good career. Championship level for majority at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
