Delphinho123 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 He'd be a fantastic player if football was played without a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 29, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hopefully it's the making of him. Maybe he got a bit stale waiting for his chance here, and he has shown that he's a little rough around the edges but with definite ability. A good season in League One for what appears to be a promotion-chasing Pompey could do him wonders. No point in him rotting here for another season behind what's on our wings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Think we all thought this would be his season to really push on but we've signed 2 new wingers and having him sit on our bench then come on for 20 minutes or so won't do his development any good. He's also too good for U23 football now. Moving to one of the better sides in League 1 where he'll hopefully play a decent amount is the best move for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Good luck Andre. I don't understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 A season long loan then, so that will be no recall option then. Good luck André, hopefully will do well there and come back next summer a better player. My gut feeling is that we may have seen the last of Green in the Villa first team, and that this is to put him in the window for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have a feeling we will also see kodjia on the shoulder as a alternative if another striker comes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eholm Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 One if the few players we have with genuine pace. Thought Bruce wanted energy and pace in the team with younger legs?.....sorry, that’s what the OWNERS want, Bruce reverts to type yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKeNbUm Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Sensible to loan the kid out. Won't get a great deal on minutes here and his performances for us this season really showed he has missed a year of development.

mikeyp102 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Needs a consecutive run of games to gain form and fitness. Was unlikely to get that here with the two new guys who have come in. Surprised it’s a full season, but hey good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Bruce has said quite a few times in interviews that the kids would get chances here, it seems that that isn’t the case, we loaned out Suliman too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Good loan for him, he definitely needs football. He should be getting that here, there are more than enough games and more than enough minutes and more than enough substitutions here to give him a chance to get his fitness back and fight for his place. Instead we have some old duffer like Albert taking the piss, who will be gone in 12 months time. Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Grealish was our only consistent under 25 year old player last season. Bruce is not good with youth at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Dunno what to make of this. I thought he'd be in and around the first 11 this season and as poor as he's started the season I'd still have him over adomah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Sorry but he's been dire when he's had time on the pitch so far this season, against Brentford he could barely stop from tripping himself over every time he ran with the ball. Looks bereft of confidence and with Bolasie and El Ghazi signed his chances would be limited. Shame as I thought he'd come good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Green is going to tear league one's backside. He needs first team football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Glad he’ll be getting some game time and hopefully he’ll come back stronger, but can’t help feeling like this is gonna prove to be a mistake somehow. Good luck Andre. Edited August 29, 2018 by Shropshire Lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Green run past a full back, I’d wager Adomah, Bolasie and El Ghazi are all quicker than him. He’s probably been the most unimpressive of any our youth players that’s broken into the first team the past few years. Move suits all parties, he needs games and we can’t afford to carry him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So will this make him more or less keen to sign a new contract with us y'all reckon? Current one ends next summer according to Transfermarkt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
