A lot of people that get enraged by the money footballers earn don't really appreciate how hard players work to get to that position. Everyone wants to be a footballer. We're talking millions of people. How many even make it to a semi professional level? Let alone playing for a club like Villa. Yes but there is so much money in the game nowadays that there are so many kids who just work there arses out for that one contract then just sit back and take it easy.

I have a good mate who works at Villa (groundstaff) and it was suggested that he was 'disruptive'. Might be a slight amelioration ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) It will be good to eventually get a load of these players off the books that are still involved with Villa in some way or another earning wages but not really offering much otherwise, fringe players etc. Gollini, Bunn, Richards, De Leat, Cissoko, Tshibola, McCormack, Gil, Gardner, Agbonlahor, Lyden, Amavi (possibly Elphick & Bjarnasson too) A few mentioned already on loan deals elsewhere but we are still paying a % of the wages.

I feel that we've been saying this for years. Not long ago it was Given, N'Zogbia, Ireland, Bent and so on. Who will it be next, I wonder? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got to be in the top three, which is some going when you consider the competition.

I think fee paid to output should be taken into consideration. Tish is right up there with worst. I'm sure if you go through the Grealish thread someone has called him the worst footballer ever, Westwood was regularly labelled with that title.

I am sure we could field a villa all time worst 11 with some of the donkeys we have had here over the years. Tshitbola has to be up there amongst some of the worst players we've seen.

Bruce got Hourihane and Bree for around the same money that RDM & Clarke paid for Tshitbola. That's one thing I like about Bruce - he seems to have a bit more about him in the transfer market than anyone else we've had around the club in the last few years.* *(Waiting for the Bruce Bashers to start banging on about Hogan.)
