(In context of season expectations) We also declined the chance to sign Radamel Falcao in favour of signing Heskey that window! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to find a club apparently As ridiculous as it sounds, the problem with people like him, and Hart, is not even necessarily attracting them. It's the astronomical wages they are on, even if they were free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell did Heskey do in training; managers loved him... but he was demonstrably rubbish in the pitch. I remember this moment well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from Jan 2008 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/aston-villa-in-for-5m-rated-radamel-falcao-721726 Then this 18 months later, when we were linked again and also considered Cavani http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/south-american-hot-shots-aim-97269 Edited June 24, 2017 by Marley the Bognor Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious... what makes you think he's good enough to be first choice in a midtable Premier League team? He could easily make RB his own and it wouldn't take much for him to develop into a quality RM. He's an excellent cross, has good vision, is strong, quick, versatile, passionate & spirited, can take a free kick and is solid enough defensively. They are good qualities to build on if you're an attacking defender or midfielder. His form at the end of 14/15 when he was hitting Benteke with crosses which lead to a number of important goals in my view was the form of a midtable Premier League player. I thought he was only getting started as well. He went backwards the following season but so did all our players. He gets a seriously raw deal from our fans imo.

Yes, he got a new 5 year contract if I recall. Edited June 24, 2017 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His future is in midfield though imo, even though he is probably a more complete RB right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
