Clark - 134 premier league games at age 26. Elphick - 12 premier league games at age 28. Let's hope Elphick will reach Clark's games for Villa and offer more than Clark has.

I can only assume you haven't watched a single game this season and didn't watch many of those 134 premier league games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted August 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'd go as far to say that on the whole, Elphick has offered more than Clark ever did in a Villa shirt already. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't think Clark is as bad as people make out, but he doesn't have the drive or leadership skills that Elphick has displayed thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby Agbonlahor - 322 Premier League appearances Ross McCormack - 0 PL appearances does this mean that gabby should be starting ahead of McCormack? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the current form/condition of a footballer have to do with their career achievements? I'd say Gabby has had a better career. Wouldn't you? For the game on saturday I'd choose McCormack. Is it that difficult? Edited August 17, 2016 by BG_Villa_Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were suggesting that the fact that Clark has played more PL games at a younger age means that he is the better player, or have I inferred that? As for the debate on Gabby's career, that's a path I'd rather not go down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. Not currently. I thought it was ridiculous for someone to say that Elphick had forgotten more about being a CB than Clark knows ( or something to that effect ) when one has had a long premier league career and the other has played in the lower leagues at the same time against much worse opposition. Don't like unnecessarily bashing ex players for the sake of it. It's bad taste imo. Edited August 17, 2016 by BG_Villa_Fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 1 injury to a defender puts Richards back in the team. 1 injury to a midfielder puts Gardener back in the team. 1 injury to a striker and we are relying on Andre Green. Whilst our first 11 is strong, our squad depth is poor. I would like to see another 2 signings in each area of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
