MON must have gone with a Warnock and Gardner dream team at some point can remember the game where Warnock was trying to get himself an OG and brad made some great saves to deny him and his every touch was booed there after, he was finished at the villa, how do these clowns we have now keep getting back in?

bannedfromHandV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 We are talking Steve Stone right? If so, unless I've lost significant parts of my memory lately (which is something I accept could be true) he was not a left back. May have played as a RWB at times but not a LB, anyone else care to interject? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 After stating the season brightly he has been **** dog muck these last few weeks. It's a shame, I thought he had turned a corner. Time to drop him. I don't trust Amavi fully yet, but he can't be THAT bad defensively you wouldn't think and he's a weapon going forward at least.

sidcow Posted January 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Fingers crossed he might be off. Yet another another another of those baffling signings which have killed the club over the last few years. We had the good fortune to have him on loan, kind of try before you buy, and it was plain as the nose on your face then he wasn't going to be good enough, yet we still go ahead and sign him anyway. So many of our problems could have been avoided, we were criminally run, we really were. Edited January 8, 2017 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Not one I was expecting to leave, sure he's not a great player but who will fill in there if Amavi gets injured? Need to add a back up left back to the shopping list if true, unless we have someone decent coming through the yoof system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at Liverpool on loan where he was largely ridiculed for his complete lack of ability and subject of an amusing "highlights" video. So naturally we bought him.

VILLAMARV Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Yep he's pretty awful alright. However, everyone should remember he was a pretty good signing at the time. He may be bad but he was LOADS more solid than Bennett or Luna and at the time he was a bit of a godsend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Quote ALY CISSOKHO is close to sealing a move away from Aston Villa with Olympiakos keen on a loan deal until the end of the season. Cissokho has featured just twice for Aston Villa since Steve Bruce took over from Roberto di Matteo in October. And the Birmingham Mail are reporting that the 29-year-old is close to agreeing a season-long loan move to Olympiakos. The report says that Olympiakos expressed an interest in signing him earlier this month and have held talks with Cissokho's representatives.
