Guest av1 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 3 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: I absolutely love RDMs no nonsense stance on this. As I said earlier, it seems he turned up to the match late, got disciplined/dropped then threw his toys out the pram. Acting like Billy Big bollox. So either he moves on, or apologises and starts over. Sink or swim mofo! Couldn't agree more. Without going over old ground, (and OT) my worries about RDM, regarding team building and his ability to deal with some of our trouble makers are actually proving to be 2 of his strengths. Very impressed with his management so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) To think some people wanted Pearson because RDM is too soft... Love the no nonsense from the Italian, proper ruthless. Edited August 20, 2016 by Lord Willard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they didn't offer him a personal chauffeur to transport him to the match on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've been a massive advocate but ultimately he has been a total waste of money. His attitude is awful, no coincidence that this is coming after his incident midweek. What I'd do is sell him and sign Oliver Burke from Forest.

alreadyexists Posted August 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2016 I thought he had promise, but if he doesn't want to be here then he can jog on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 A young player who presumably is now billy big bollox and doesn't want to play for this great club? Totally agree with RDM leaving him out and hope we now find a buyer. Also agree with a previous poster that Burke at Forest would be a quality replacement.

AndyBM Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 thing is, he hasnt even proved himself to have the attitude of being a billy big bollocks. ah well, cash in, make a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm hoping he leaves quickly so we can get a good replacement in. Could've done with someone on the bench today who could provide a bit of pace, if he doesn't want to be that player fine but really hope he does leave quickly if that is the case so we can replace him with someone who wants to be here and is in line with our quality of signings so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree with this. He's the type of player you'd love to bring on in a game like today's. That said, his heart clearly isn't in it and I'd be worried that he'd just as likely not cover his man and leave a gap leading to a goal from the opposition as I'd be hopeful of him having a positive impact. So the sooner we can get rid of him, bring some money in and invest it elsewhere, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not on the bench saturday so I assume we'll never see him in villa colours again. If he's still here on Thursday then he'll be in the bomb squad 3.0. Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he moves on, perhaps that's best for all concerned, but if there are no takers I would hope the management team do everything in their power to get him up, motivated and firing again.

PompeyVillan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Nah, he's too expensive and saleable to be in the bomb squad. Tell him, 'You want your move, you earn it'. It seems his reputation alone hasn't triggered someone to splash the serious money necessary to buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So what happens if the window shuts and he doesn't move I wonder if he's going to be our next N'zogbia and do nothing but pick up his wages i hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Needs to be playing. He is incredibly talented and we have a target man who needs to service. Instead of going and buying a winger, play Traore. We are lacking pace and width, BOTH of which Traore brings. He was angry because he was rarely playing. Give him a real chance and I think he will be happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
