dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Quote Steve Bruce has laughed off suggestions that Ross McCormack could leave on loan this month, joking: ‘What a load of rubbish!” The £12million summer signing was linked with a move to Wolves earlier this week but the Villa manager insists the reports are wide off the mark. “As if I’m going to loan McCormack to Wolves. I don’t know where it’s come from. “I know know where it’s surfaced from, it’s a total load of rubbish. “I mean come on? It doesn’t even make sense!” http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ross-mccormacks-aston-villa-future-12411636 If that doesn't give him a bit of a boost nothing will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are frustrated and I am sure he is as equally frustrated that he has not yet worked out for him. Absolute rubbish! He was bought by a manager who made him pivotal to his plans. He was also setting some impressive stats during that period to boot. For RDM id say he was his best money spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was really excited by his signing and thought we would have a class player. He just doesn't seem settled to me. Hopefully we can get him going because I really like him as a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm convinced once we get some decent midfielders in he'll flourish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Id rather have him on the bench to come on if we need a goal. Gabby needs the exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with McCormack is that it's not obvious when to play him because of his limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm losing patience with this guy. I know he's not always been played in his favoured position but I'm getting fed up with his terrible free kicks and hands on hips demeanour.

Flynnchin84 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 From what I've seen this season, I wouldn't question someone if they told me we had got him on a free. Useless so far, blame the midfield all you like but there has been nothing to suggest he is worth £12m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's not working and he doesn't have the qualities that Bruce wants in a forward, no pace, no presence and not versatile across the front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 what a waste. hard for him to have an impression in today tbf but those free kick efforts were a total waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 £12 million quid for an out of shape 30 year old who is on massive wages and totally useless. We already had an out of shape 30 year old forward on massive wages, we didn't need another Great bit of business there Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We could have had two decent midfielders with the money we paid for this guy and the team would have been alot more balanced What a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
