AV82 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Top class pro. How sad that we haven't managed to sell him, he's a very valuable asset to a C'ship side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to diss the club on every effing thread. On topic : glad he played for us cracking signing and definitely helped us get up and stay up as has been mentioned if we signed more like him the season we got relegated we we would have done a better job of staying up. Wish him all the best hopefully he gets a decent last contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he was particularly lazy, but I felt he lacked courage at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 What a guy. You can pretty much pinpoint the window he signed to the start of our resurgence. Got to give Steve Bruce credit, this was another cracking signing along with Elmo and McGinn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Classy message from a classy player. He has played a pivotal role in getting us back to where we belong and I am sure most Villa fans will fondly remember his time with us. To last over four years at Villa in the modern era is the equivalent of getting a testimonial in the old days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He'll never kick a ball for us again but the nature of his move has bagged him an extra year in On Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I remember when he was signed people said we signed him because we really wanted James Bree and he wouldn't get in our starting team ahead of Lansbury Conor always one for proven people wrong, maybe as a final thank you he will leave one on Bruno Fernandes tonight that would be a perfect farewell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented on this previously. He's said his fairwell to the club. He is only still a vill player by technicality. This should be moved to off topic.

Dave-R Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Had a good standing round of applause from UTD fans soon as he entered on the pitch. Had about 15 or so mins. I were trying to see him as much as I could but I were working lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started listening to it this morning on the drive to drop my daughter at work. He comes across how I remember him, a real top lad, professional and humble. One of my favourite players post relegation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Will always hold a special place in my heart for his goal against the Albion in the play off semi final. Probably the start of where we are today and I’m forever grateful for that. For 1.5m, he was very decent value for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
