It's a shame as there could be a good player in there somewhere - when he actually runs at defenders he can be dangerous but all too often its as if even he doesn't know what he's going to do and the 'attack' breaks down with a scuffed shot or misplaced pass. I'm not adverse to him staying next season as he 'could' turn a corner under a different manager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Unfortunately, that lot would be able to beat us Three players with Villa affiliation. Our influence is spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with that and anyone who sees my posts know I can't stand him. First half he had a couple of good runs and got two of their players booked. The run in the second half sums him up though, decent run but he's central 25 yards out and can't even be bothered to shoot and the move just fizzles out, he's such a nothing player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there's hundreds of players up and down the leagues who are quick and can run past a defender, it's what you do with the ball when you've found the space or pulled the defence out of shape, he just doesn't have it in him. He did show himself to be a not awful finisher earlier in the season, for me his best bet in the future is to play upfront as a poacher with a target man preferably at a club that isn't ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he was fine as a wide forward in Swansea's 4-3-3. My main beef with him has always been motivation, he's just one of these average players made for life by the money the premier league has. He has the Girl, the lifestyle, why would you lift a finger at this stage of his career. We have too many of them polluting our squad.

In other words, he's a cancer destroying this club from the inside. I cannot abide the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Richards, Hutton, Lescott, Gabby, Sinclair, Richardson. All at some stage of their careers been decent players or had good seasons in the premier league (Richardson was alright at Sunderland for a bit). All bar Sinclair good enough to represent their country. All now on the way down massively which has resulted in this horrific season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good and well the media harping on about experience in this league but this is the other side of the coin which the media conveniently forgets as shock horror majority are English. Not saying all experienced players are bad, far from it. I think some of them are getting away with it with very little exposure for what they really are especially Richards.

Leicester signed experienced players in last year like Huth and Fuchs who actually contribute and help the team 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hence why we need a football person on the board like Brian Little, but the club need to clear out all the scouts as well (if there are any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
