No his main role was always midfielder but recently has been playing striker, so that tells me he's gearing himself up for either the switch or a wide selection of roles that he can play. He can also play along the wings both left and right, so yeah he's versatile. Either way he can play striker.

Looking again at the U23 thread, a couple of recent match reports do have him playing up top, so fair enough. However, if he's only just started learning that position in youth football, he clearly won't be ready to play it for the first team yet. Let's hope he is one day.

From what I was reading he seems to be adapting quickly and explosively. I really hope he continues, he may of found his calling, it certainly would be nice to have a break through striker would it not. When was the last time we had a striker breakthrough from the U23s, one that especially could score anyway, we would be lucky to fall on such a player. I need to watch him now to see if it's true with him up front, that he is indeed a goal poacher and half. Maybe someone who has seen him can give there view from his time on the frontline please.

DCJonah Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The money pissed away on this guy. I bet there are still villa fans who think all he needs is the right service for his world class movement. Where does he go from here? League 1?

Talldarkandransome Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Scott Hogan? I'd rather have Wesley on crutches or in wheelchair being pushed by Heaton on crutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 We don’t have anymore spaces left in our 25 man squad so will players need to leave or be omitted for new ones to be registered. Is he worth a place though ? = IMO NO! Rather give our kids a shot over him. Plus I’ve always thought jack could do a job like Messi as a false 9 dropping deeper to collect the ball and running at defences pulling defenders out of position and leaving spaces for himself and others.

The Fun Factory Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) If Hogan is the answer then what is the question. Did nothing in the Championship why would he do anything in the prem. Absolutely dreadful signing. One of our worst pound for pound buys ever. Along with Ross McCormack. That's 25 mil we are never going to get back. Sums up our scattergun 'oh he looks decent in the last 10 games lets buy him' transfer policy of Dr Tony and Keef- 'lets sell Villa behind the owners' back- Wyness. Allegedly.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) We need to play to his strengths On a serious note, I used to try to defend Hogan as well, just as it seemed like he had a great attitude as well, but he hasn't done anything, ANYWHERE, since Brentford. You never know though, could he play as a forward in an attacking 3? I don't mean as the CF either. Just as a nuisance and busy body.
