terrytini Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thought his goal at least deserved a mention......great pass out wide and immediately set off on the run that led to the header.....very impressive especially given the state of the game and him having been sidelined for so long. Showed good skills, good brain, good commitment....which is a credit to him. Also another good example of how - for the most part - Bruce successfully gets players attitudes right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Brilliant gpal. That was a top header. Lansbury has be patient and shown good attitude here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Still has three years on his contract. Should stay. Good for this level still in my opinion and probably deserves more chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted May 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2018 I actually like him as a player, we dont have that many midfielders running into the box after playing the ball out wide like he did at Ipswich. It will help to move the defenders around in the box and create space for others. I really think we could utilize him better than we have done so far.

Popular Post Dr_Pangloss Posted May 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2018 Has to go, he earns far to much for this level and isn't even that good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If he's on the 40k reported then you're probably right there, didn't realise. Honestly, some of the negotiating by whoever sorts these contracts out over the years is criminal. Taylor is 29 and still has 3 years left. As has Lansbury. Two years left for McCormack who is 32 in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Has done **** all, always has flattered to deceive at this level. Not suddenly going to be the answer in his mid to late thirties. Doesn't impose on games, can't get round the pitch, decent range of passing, painfully slow. It isn't enough. Move him on, will have to be a loan paying x of his wages.

VILLAMARV Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I don't know what his wages are or what kind of an influence he is behind the scenes but I suspect we could find someone who does what we've seen him do on the pitch for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2018 Lansbury’s 27 years old isn’t he? Not seen the 40 grand a week quote before, but if true that’s a dreadful bit of business. Unless we can get a couple of million for him, happy to have him as an option on the bench. Provided that the wages quoted there aren’t accurate.

He was always a good to very good performance every 1 in 5 games sort of player. I don't think anyone who has seen him play often actually rated him that highly.

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 In my opinion, he might have an impact this season, his career at Villa hasn’t really got going yet but I think it might this season. He’s a good footballer, coming in to his peak years, you don’t play for Arsenal’s first team if you don’t have something about you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Has to be given a chance this season, unless there is a club that wants to sign him. Needs to be played in his best position too, he is not a DM. Has got the ability to get goals from midfield. Goal against Leeds was crucial. I don’t know who will still be here come the end of the transfer window but him and Hourihane in midfield should work, backed up by another who can deal with the defensive side (BB?) We really should shift the aging players like Whelan & Jedinak, they won’t play enough games and can’t be relied on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Either way we can't afford to carry £35-40k/w squad players so either sell up or play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
