If it’s nothing too serious then inline with the terms of his loan agreement he should be on the first plane back home and into the matchday 18 because we ain’t so good and Bruce not so clever that we can ignore a proven goal scorer at this level - you would hope that RM’s fitness, desire, and confidence will be improved following his stint down under 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason the only place we could offload him to was Australia. He’s finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw reports pre-season that he was looking much more the part. we are not so very good that we can ignore a proven goalscorer at this level. yes I am fully aware that things have gone on around him - but did he really do anything worse than you know who ?

Any way more importantly I constantly read on here that he has issues ? I know nothing of this - so as an avarage fan with no inside knowledge of the workings of our club - should we not be trying to help him through these issues that you speak of? For me he has one of the best footballing brain in the club - and as I say we ain’t so good we can ignore this imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, no offence, it's pointless having a discussion about Agbonlahor with you. We probably are helping him through his issues. We've sent him out on loan to get some football under his belt. If he recovers to be good enough he'll get back in our team. But I highly doubt this will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 He's looked good for Melbourne City, I think he deserves another crack at Villa. Whether he can take the chance if it's handed to him I'm not so sure, but given our investment in him I'd give him another shot (so to speak).

We aren't just ignoring him. He's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this guy at least can score goals Sorry Dave, but I've been watching him while he has been down under and you wouldn't want him back. While I rate the A-league it is now where near the championship and the same goes for Ross. He should be no where near the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
