Popular Post AntrimBlack Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good. I really rate this guy. I think Smith will be able to improve him massively. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either a winger has picked up a relatively long term injury or someone is going to leave in this window. Since the only winger we own is Albert I would be surprised if we are going to sell someone. I've always like Green and I would prefer him to be getting game time here. None of our wingers have stood out over the last few weeks so why not give Green the chance. This is what the OS have just put out: Why the surprise when you've explained it yourself afterwards? I like Green too, he looked like he could cut it at Premier League level until his battle with injuries. I'd love for him to come good for us now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I've never really rated the kid tbf and the fact he couldn't even hold down a place at Portsmouth us worrying. That said I don't rate Adomah either and Bolasie looks like an inconsistent show pony so all in all its probably a good decision to recall him so the new team can work with him.

Delphinho123 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'll be very surprised if this guy is the answer to our problems. Everytime I have seen him play he has looked awful. Happy to give him another chance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think it's worth remembering he's still only 20 years old. I always think he looks older and he seems to have been around the first team for 3-4 years. I'm not sure why he couldn't hold a place at Portsmouth, but if he's not playing I don't think there's much point in him being there. I always liked the look him of him. It's a bit of competition for our other wingers at the very least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jareth Posted January 17, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2019 Green was two posts and a crossbar away from some stunning goals before he was shipped out - I welcome him back, get someone nippy behind him and we will have serious pace once more... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It'll be weird to see a Villa team based on pace again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Bit indifferent, but if it means we can **** Albert off then it has it's benefits. I think forcing his way into Pompey's side would be better for him and us in the long term than him being a bench player here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Glad he's back, think he's a real talent. Hopefully we can bin adomah off now as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Looks more a striker than a winger to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the line between winger and striker is fading these days. You look at Messi and Dembele at Barca, one is a keep it wide 'winger' and the other is constantly cutting inside trying to get shots off. Both have been effective at both creating and scoring goals. Even Abraham has said in the past he prefers to be on the wings as he gets more freedom but is in no way less effective. Anyway back to Green, I think his pace and energy will be an addition to the front line. A front 3 of Green Abraham Bolaise has bags of pace and pace can do a lot at this level.

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I don't see what Green returning does to Adomah as they are opposite wingers??.. If anything it would be £70k a week Bolasie we would sack back to Everton. - Not that he would be missed as he has not really offered much so far. £70k pw wages could be used else where over two players rather than all on this average one.

sne Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Have a feeling Kodija might be off to Nice so Green may be brought back as cover for both the wings and striker position. All hinges on Balotelli securing his move from Nice to Marseille. Or it's just that our late 20's early 30's players are exhausted after the holiday schedule and Green might offer a set of fresh legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Villa cut Bolasie's loan and send him back to Everton before end of season. Is this standard, i,e a send back clause? They probably should if thats the case. Free up 70k per week at least.

Farlz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 All of our current wingers are very inconsistent so Green should have a decent chance to play. Still don't think he should've been called back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2019 He was looking promising before his horror injury. His goal against Norwich was arguably the highlight for us in the first couple months of last season. Apparently couldn’t hold down a place at Portsmouth (but still managed to get a few goals in his limited game time I see). If so I’d rather have him here if he’s not getting chance to develop there especially as the form of our wingers is so erratic. Plus it wouldn’t surprise me if we’d been paying most of his wages there, if so I don’t see much point him being there. Wonder if this means someone is on their way out.

Indigo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He was injured for the majority of his time at Portsmouth. Whilst he was out they were top of the league with two of the best performing wingers in it in Curtis and Lowe, so they were hardly going to immediately drop them once Green was back fit (which has also only happened recently, it's worth adding). Remains to be seen how well he'll go on to do here but to base anything against him off his game time at Portsmouth would be extremely harsh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
