VillaChris Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 God knows, something must have happened in last few weeks for him to not even make the bench now under a couple of managers.Unless he's picked up another "knock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am not so sure he is injured. Garde commented on the injured lads - Gabby and Westwood, but no mention of Traore or Okore being injured so can only assume they did not make the match day 18.

Isa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Perhaps it was desperation to land him but the club were clearly content with him receiving such wages so I doubt anything has changed in a few months. He is very raw so I think Garde will work pretty hard on him in training. He maybe felt today wasn't the right game for him either given the opposition.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 Must be something wrong for him not to make the bench, maybe its his attitude?He's not very good yet. That's what's wrong. If he improves he'll get in the team. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I don't know why but I just get the feeling things won't end well for him at Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I don't know why but I just get the feeling things won't end well for him at Villa I wouldn't be too sure. I think we just need to view him as what he is, an expensive youth prospect.He's positive going forward, lightning quick, has grown up playing with quality players, but he has a hint of the dead-end-N'Zogbias about him. He can still be a big player for us, but for now he'll probably be an impact player, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He was called a development project and one for the future by Sherwood, many at the time thought he was simply dampening expectations but it really looks like that is the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yesterday wasn't the game for him, think Garde will work on him in the coming weeks and would be very surprised if he isn't featuring over Xmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Wildcard to bring off the bench this season. Can't see him fitting in or starting many games truth be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yesterday's game was the first time all season I thought the first 11 had what resembled a bit of shape to it.I'd stick with that 11 for now until things need to be changed.Traore and Grealish don't yet possess the discipline required to play in such a system IMO.In saying that time is definitely on their side and I could certainly see Traore having a big impact from the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 We are going to release a Ronaldo like player to the footballing stage in 3 years time.... That way Barca will have to pay 150 mill to get him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Honestly a loan in January might not be a bad option if he is willing to take it. He probably wont start matches this season, so at least he would be getting minutes elsewhere. Even here I am not sure if I want him off the bench. Traore did not seem to keen on defending.
