A johnny big bollocks who thinks he is to good to be here Where are you guys getting your info from? If true then very, very worrying. There has to be a reason he's not in the squad at all, and with no signs of an injury, I can only speculate that it is his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Disappointing if true. It also begs the question did we do all the background checks necessary...y'know when we ask people who've walked with players to give references before they signed and we just decided to take the risk anyway.

maqroll Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Are people just wildly disparaging the kid, or is there evidence out there to support these claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Oh well. It's his career he's wasting. Barcelona won't be buying back a guy who can't get into our first team. His loss I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So, a couple of people utter some damning words without backing it up with any information or source and we are ready to write him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'd take it with a pinch of salt, as some of the posters seem extremely negative to the point of possibly being closet SHA fans on the wind up, and they don't support it with any evidence. I'd love to see Adama getting a real run in the team, he has so much talent and potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Garde said himself that he's close to being selected in the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Has to start next game. We've reached the point where we need to gamble for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that two people had heard the same reports and couple that with the fact that he's not even getting into the 23 man squad's tells you something is up. There's no smoke without fire. £7.6m well spent. Edited November 23, 2015 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Maybe he does have an attitude problem but seemingly so does N'Zogbia (recent tweets etc against fans) and he is involved? Who knows. I hope he is involved against Watford as we need something different in the team even if it's just him running with the ball with intent.

Zog has been working hard in training all season, that's the only reason he got into Sherwood's 25, he wasn't planning on putting him in. Traore is not doing that. Like I said, Remi not casting him aside yet, but working hard to motivate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I see, fair enough. By attitude I thought it was more "disrespect" rather than application in performance in training. I also think Garde wants him in the team purely for the reason he has frightening pace which is an asset in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Scored twice and generally impressed in front of Garde today in a training friendly against Fleetwood. We won 5-2, Okore, Senderos, Garnder and Kozak also started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with young Jack making the paper's for wrong reasons today, and with Traore scoring a couple in today's friendly, I'd be extremely confident that he'll feature at some point against Watford at Jack's expense.

sharkyvilla Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It would be great to see him let loose at the weekend. I think it would allow Gil to play centrally and he is likely to help get the best out of Adama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybofalbion Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think we need to play him. But as far as we've seen so far he seems to be a liability in possession, therefore I just think it makes complete sense to play him up front - just behind the main striker. Anywhere in midfield he just has too much possession and defensive responsibility that seems to be his weakness at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
