If we are still talking about defenders then Habib Beye has to be one of the worst waste of moneys ever, encapsulating some of the things that were wrong about the MON era and you can add Nicky Shorey, Stephen Warnock, Curtis Davies and Luke Young to the list of players who never saw any real worth in a Villa shirt whether you blame them or you blame MON. Some would also say Zat Knight but he's by no means the worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Also he wasn't a bad player overall, but special mention must go to Mark Delaney who seemed to love to throw himself at the ball in the penalty area with his hands up over his face, giving away a penalty every time.

NurembergVillan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2016 Surely no argument on the 4th day of Christmas?! A man so desperate to leave after his Mrs realised Birmingham wasn't in Merseyside he was photographed taking his shirt off during the press shoot. Anyone ever wondered if his agent (or anyone else for that matter) got paid twice that summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He so was. I find it unbelievable his name is anywhere near this thread. Are people confusing him with Bernard Gallagher? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't put his name anywhere near players like McGrath, Laursen or Mellberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the 3 names you mentioned were the best 3 we have had in the Premier League, I'd certainly call Delaney one of the best. In the top 10 for sure.

Delaney on par with Luke Young? What on Earth? That's scandalous! He was even number 2 on the VT advent calender thread. He was very good at Villa and far better than Luke bloody Young.

Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted December 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think you'd be hard pressed to name a better RB than Delaney to have played for us from the 90's onwards with the notable exception of Kyle Walker imo. He was no world beater for sure but we haven't exactly been blessed with quality right backs in the last 30 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
