TrentVilla Posted December 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2016 29 minutes ago, Jimzk5 said: Delfounso was a very talented footballer that had he been managed better probably, possibly had a better career, from the age of 16 he was in the first team scoring goals in the europa league, he played in some cup games and scored a few goals, but really needed to go on loan and play rather than sit on the bench. How he's career has ended up is typical of a huge percentage of equally talented footballers who drop down the leagues when they had the talent to play at a high level, just not the application. Look at Craig Gardner, an horrifically shit footballer still playing in the prem, cus he does enough to be there. nile ranger however is an absolute cum shot. Needed to go on loan? You mean other than the loan to Burnley? And the loan to Leicester? Oh and the two loan spells at Blackpool obviously? Oh and let's not forget Coventry. He managed a total of 7 goals in 81 appearances during those loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I do think Delfouneso was talented but he seemed lazy and instead of improving he seemed to coast along here. didnt help we probably gave him a cushy contract as a teen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those loans came in the last year or 2 of he's time at villa? He needed to be loaned out when he got into our first team, not when he was 20/21 years old and had spent 4 years on a first team wage for sitting on the bench.

Genie Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I must admit, I remember ND being better than his record suggests. Looks like 17 goals in 187 games, mostly in the lower leagues :-o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What next, not enough loans with teams that play in yellow or that kits are stripy? I'll bow out of this one I think, the stats say it all really.

He's not top class for sure but I was also a little surprised he never got more of a chance as he seemed to work hard and score a few goals. I didn't. I think the fans put massive pressure on him to be the next big thing before he'd even made his first team debut and he never came close to realising any of that hype. He had plenty of chances and not once did he take any of them. He's genuinely rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question. Think he will care about the contract he has with Southend until 2020 though given he is in court for pilfering £1200 from the account of a vulernable person. He is clearly already short of cash, if the contract gets ripped up that's the end of his earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you but if he cared one iota about any of the contracts he's had he'd have stopped being such a dickhead by now, or you would at least have thought so anyway. The guy is a prize tool, if he hadn't have been good at kicking a ball he'd be in prison now (which is exactly where he deserves to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
