snowychap Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 A shame as he should have been able to do a real job for us this season. The backlash against him seems a little excessive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that's a standard barca policy the barca thing is partly why he's so overrated, he flirted with a couple of their dead rubber CL squads and cup squads, but he only made 1 appearance, he came from a terrible Barcelona B team that finished bottom of the Spanish second division, he didn't do much for them either From what I've seen of him I actually think he's a still gamble worth taking but it hasn't paid off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you look at the squad and the bench and then admit Andre green isn't ready then if we do let him go then we need to replace him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not bothered about this at all. The kid is made of glass and doesn't do much on the pitch. He's exciting and unpredictable but has never really impressed imo. One of the worst signings this club has ever made. Especially at the time when we spent 8m on him.

Keener window-cleaner Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I can't remember the last time I was so excited by a new Villa player as when I saw his debut against Crystal Palace. But having had four managers who have not selected him, I can just accept that he wont be the player a had hoped he would be. Besides that it must be disruptive for the team to have a teeanger not ready for the first to come in and be one of the highest earners at the club. 60' a week... that's just insane.

AntrimBlack Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Flattered to deceive. Won't be missed. Where is he going to go - who on earth is going to buy him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Not bothered to be honest, has been here for more than a year now and we've seen him what, 6 or so times? Would rather players like him stick their hands up now and say they want out whilst we have a chance to move them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm amazed at players saying they want to move and pursuing that goal by being cack. Surely whether a player wants to stay or go, the best way to do this is by being excellent. He hasn't done much for the club so far, frankly. I think someone should tell him that being cack isn't the best way to attract suitors. Benteke worked that out at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I don't think he'll be going anywhere. I can't see many first division clubs anywhere taking a punt on a kid who has barely played any first team football anywhere; certainly not for anywhere near what we paid. Best he could hope for is a loan somewhere and even then I think the club should only agree if the arrangement is advantageous to us. This is one of those situations where even if the player wants out the club holds the best cards. It's not like going on strike would change anything, and i can't see him having enough influence in the dressing room to cause any problems.

Richard Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Disappointing in a time we are crying out for midfield creativity and had a bench so lacking in it the other night we need players like him to be playing an active part . I think he could have ripped this league to pieces . If he goes we need two players , with him staying I was thinking one only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 IMO we don't really have the time or conditions to allow him to develop sufficiently - it's best for everyone if he went, I think. Be interesting to see how his career pans out but I think it'll either be very good or pretty bad, not much room for average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Still to raw, no real loss onthe pitch but no way will we get anywhere near £8million back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 For all there faults, Sherwood, Garde and Black have played the game for multiple decades. All 3 of them have viewed him and separately concluded he has the football brain of a tadpole. A body builder trying to be a footballer. Hope we get something back for him.
