JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think Lansbury would do quite well at a European club in a slightly slower league. He is actually not a bad player, it just has not happened for him here, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fightoffyour Posted September 10, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 He's basically stealing a living at Villa, yet I don't feel the disdain towards him that I've felt with other players who have done the same in the past. Probably just because he's so handsome. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more for the combination of a player that plays and is a bit of a laugh myself. A la McGinn or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character is good but ability on the pitch is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a reason to dislike someone or feel disdain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) A dreadful transfer for Villa in hindsight. Got great hair though. Edited September 10, 2020 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted September 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2020 Living proof that it is the wages that hurt you the most when a transfer goes badly, not the initial fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I would kick the living fook out of this guy in training were I in the Villa squad. A serious lack of standards having the likes of this fat parasite hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You can’t really blame him for sticking around on a good contract. Why would he push for a move to the level of clubs that would want him, when they presumably wouldn’t pay the Premier League wages that we stupidly gave him.

That's abit not nice, hes still a player at the end of the day and human being, he has tried at least, it may not have worked out for him but we do not need to be nasty towards him at all. We can be respectful while we criticise can we not. Edited September 10, 2020 by Dave-R 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
