Popular Post Genie Posted August 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 When the chips are down, and they were down for plenty of his time at Villa, you need players like him who will give you everything on the pitch. Top man. Thanks Elmo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have so much respect for the gaffer. He told me before he signed Cashy that he was going to be the new right-back and that he wanted me to compete with him. “Then he explained to me in advance that he had three other right backs — Cashy, (Frederic) Guilbert and Kaine Kesler — all under contract, so I would not be staying any longer. It gave me time to prepare for what to do next. He’s always honest and tells his players the truth. Not all managers are like that. “These people also love Aston Villa and are working their socks off to make the club better.” Probably one for the Guilbert thread, but I feel this comment confirms Guilbert was only sent on loan to get game time whilst we waited until Elmo's contract expired, and that Guilbert was still 2nd choice.

Xela Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Top man Elmo What I did find a bit odd, is that he lives just outside London, despite playing for Sunderland, Hull and Villa! It says he lived in Sunderland at first but I wonder what prompted the move down there. More of an Egyptian community? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo seems a top fella, good luck to him. Thanks for posting the above. I don't read many of the long posts on here but I enjoyed reading that. Elmo will do well whatever he chooses to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 He's a top guy. He'll be sorely missed off the pitch especially I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Fantastic interview. If i'm honest, I've been keeping an eye out for his name on the BBC Football Transfers webpage. seems crazy to me that no one has snapped him up yet as hes pretty much ever present, cheap and always puts in 100% effort. Would be great for a newly promoted team on a budget as backup or for a championship team looking to mount a promotion challenge. He will get so many assists in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could do an uncle albert and go the QPR route, that would be a good team for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
