I don't think he'd be a starter here anymore after recent purchases so we might as well move him on. It was laughable in the summer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Steve is trying to change the attitude about the place.......similar to what Graham Taylor did. Who were the hound dogs back then? Steve Hunt? Andy Blair?

No.....they had decent attitudes.....Steve was a villa fan, local boy. just referring to the amount of surgery GT implemented and the GT philosophy that engulfed the club.

NIVillan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just now, TRO said: No.....they had decent attitudes. just referring to the amount of surgery GT implemented and the GT philosophy that engulfed the club. I only named them as I was trying to think of players who didn't really play under Taylor. But Yes he shook the club up. Brought in at first old heads to help stabilise like Simms, Norton and Lillis. As the season went on started to shape his new team with Stuart Gray, Andy Gray (MK II) and Platt. Was it the pre-season after we were promoted where Aspinall kicked out while on tour in Scotland? Taylor had him straight out the door no messing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they think that because his brother played well for them Jordan might too? Other than that I'm at a loss. He's got some skill but has the brain of a lemming and a terrible attitude.

villa89 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 No loss on the pitch and I suspect he was a cancer in the dressing room. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 no feelings about it at all, overhyped on here for a few goals last season but dreadful in a lesser league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We will regret letting him go. Played out of position by Bruce and tasked with too much defensive work. Hopefully Taylor makes up for it cus we desperately need a competent left back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Think selling him for Taylor and a bit of cash is a poor deal. Probably for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Taylor + £4m isn't too bad. Ayew is far too inconsistent for me to really care either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2017 The absolutely must keep player of the summer. The most indifferent departure. He has some ability for sure, but it is in glimpses only. Hope Swansea fans don't think they are getting another version of his brother. We always got the wrong one of the 2.

Literally no evidence whatsoever, but okay. I might be in the minority, but I think in Ayew we've lost one of our best footballers today. I think there's something wrong with the system, if it's seen as worthwhile to sell your best players because they don't fit in to your style of play. I saw Ayew, Amavi, and Grealish as the talents in our squad, capable of playing at a level higher than the Championship, but they seem to be becoming sacrificial lambs in the quest to produce turgid "Championship-style" football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any evidence of this at all? Seems like a fairly low thing to say about somebody if you have no evidence for saying it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
