sir_gary_cahill Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hardly robbing the club blind, he may not be the most technically gifted footballer but he always gives 100%. In 17/18, he was outstanding, we had his best season. When he leaves here, which I hope isn’t soon, he can hold his head up high 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how his form dipped the second he realised the club wasn't stupid enough to reward his 6 months of form with a retirement deal. I watch him every week. He used to be in the side because he covered his fullback and worked hard going back and forwards. I cover more ground getting out of bed that Albert has this year.

I disagree strongly, he always puts in a shift, yes, he’s the wrong side of 30 now but 1 thing you can never fault Albert for is effort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 He has been a decent player for us, was pretty good in his first season, getting quite a lot of assists, good last season scoring a lot of goals, this season he has been off the boil and yes it's time to move him on but overall he has given us pretty good service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm going against the wind here, but I think Albert is one of the few real footballers in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that I think he knows that hence why his performances have been poor. I do think a lot of it stems to him not getting that new contract he wanted. I think he would have got one had he continued his form form last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Feel bad giving out criticism after such a victory, and I'm not being a killjoy, but Adomah is the weak link in the forward third, which on another day in a tight game could cost us. Nice finish last week but how often does he get in dangerous positions only to be let down by his final ball. He wasn't bad today, none of them were but he seems cursed in dangerous positions with awful crosses or pull backs. There were multiple today. Gotta score in the first half too after being played in when he blazed over. It doesn't matter when we're thumping a team like today, but Adomah to me doesn't look like a footballer. Almost like any time he does do anything good it's pure luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Really poor yesterday, need's to step it up for the remainder of the season. Where has last seasons Albert gone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think his time is up, improved of late but really was a non-presence yesterday. Green did more, offering more energy and threatened more in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Would rather play Mark Bunn on the wing. I would give him his three months salary today and tell him to do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted March 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have a soft spot for Uncle Albert. He's not what he used to be, but I'm always at ease when he's out there (unfortunately so are opponent's defenders nowadays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 He does seem to have faded out of sight. when Kodjia was injured he stepped up to the plate.....it seems ,he thinks, there are others to do it now.....suffers from an inferiority complex imo.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 He’s never actually been that good. He just works hard and has odd moments that can change games be it his goals or a good cross out of nowhere. I was even critical when he was banging goals in last season (I know it was harsh). He just always looked out of place too often for me. I think he will be gone in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I guess Bruce saw something we didn't. I thought bruce was insane for trying to ship out Adomah, but Adomah has been subpar all season. Still Bruce was wrong to ship out Adomah for free though. No point getting rid of him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We need to really stop giving late 20s players four year deals. He's overall done well for us but really have many good games has he played in the last 12 months? It's not many so we could've just released him on a free this summer like half our squad.

When he leaves here, which I hope isn’t soon, he can hold his head up high I actually think he's been pretty awful his whole time here to be honest. He had a 2 /3 month purple patch where he scored a lot of goals but his form before and after that was dreadful I think. If you look back at my posts on this thread before his purple patch I frequently criticised him, thought it was a temporary upsurge after he scored a couple then grudgingly taking it back when he had scored quite a few. I don't think he's ever been really good, just that one short run and now he's exactly what he was like before and after that even in the 17/18 season.
