sne Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Most of the money from a potential sale will go to cover the loss of income from being relegated, same as with any other sales. Hope he stays next season, although I doubt he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they after players who demand extortionate wages, yet who don't actually show anything to prove they are worth those wages? I think anyone with half an ounce of a football brain will focus on the fact he couldn't get into arguably the worst team ever to grace the premier league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time his contract ends he'll leave on a free and either earn the same wage taking into consideration bosman, or turn out amazing and earn more. Apart from wages many managers will take him on, he's raw, fast with the ball and knows to cross. He's a proper talent and with a good manager his early problems should be just that, he doesn't appear to have a balotelli attitude so that's a bonus.

You know exactly what its based on Are you seriously suggesting Gabby or Sinclair are better suited to the role because they track back a little more? Weren't you saying the same about Albrighton 18 months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score a hat trick? He hasn't even started a game yet you claim he's not been good enough. Get a grip of yourself. Was the run for the Gil goal at Sunderland not good enough? If you have zero idea what the other players have to do with it, don't bother responding again-Its pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run for gils goal was brilliant but it's a one off. What I like about villatalk is the silly statements used to support players 'Has anybody been good enough' 'What do you expect from a 19 year old... (enter unrealistic achievements)' Statements like this indicate that there is nothing really to actually support such arguments and that it's right for me to think that the players are utter garbage and that things like tonight's protest are directed at the wrong pepole completely.

Butterfingers Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I prefer silly statements like: "he hasn't been good enough" Despite the fact that he hasn't even started a game for us Or: "The run for Gils goal was a one off" Based on what?????? Wasn't the run for the Palace goal similar? Perhaps its a two off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 When he's fit can he be allowed to have a run of starts? I want to see a bit of fun in our play and Adama's kamikaze runs will certainly provide that. I don't care that he dosen't track back. We played 6 defenders tonight and looked a defensive shambles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many relegations do people like Steven Caulker and Cameron Jerome have, teams still buy them. Last summer remember Stoke were desperate to sign him and Liverpool were also being strongly linked. That's before we even come to clubs in Spain and other leagues in europe interested but they couldn't match the wages on offer here. I'm sure they'll be enquires to us for loan moves at the very least, it's such a nonsense statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on the fact he's strong, ludicrously fast on the ball, shows a passion for crossing or taking a man on and is potentially a game changer, as we've experienced ourselves. Is he going to make it as a top player? Who knows, plenty of talents haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Should be back Saturday. Be good to have some excitement (for the last 10 mins when we're 5-0 down). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yep. **** it. Even if he was to do absolutely no defending whatsoever, he should be starting now. I didn't agree with the "nothing to lose" attitude before. I do now. Get him in the team. He might actually be the catalyst to give us a few results now. People will be rightly assuming we are an absolute pushover now. They may not be expecting a player like Adama to come to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I never saw it as 'nothing to lose' more that he was the only one with the ability to create something out of nothing, and this more than offsets his lack of defensive skills. But now I think we can all agree that he has to play, regardless - we will be the ones benefiting from him getting more game time/development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yes, the time for trying to finesse an unlikely victory is over. Might as well start him, he probably won't achieve anything but then neither will anyone else. If he doesn't get more game time now, you can be certain he's being readied for a sale in the summer.
