Must be bad in training if Nyland and Bunn are still ahead of him. I wonder when we do our shooting drills before kick off if the goalkeeper is sort of instructed to let shots go in to get confidence up, because watching this kid, he doesn't save anything.

Nyland saves but is useless at eveything else. Edited October 25, 2018 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why he seemingly naffed the talks up with that young French defender. Sit him down with Dean Smith and JT for half hour and his pen won't be able to sign the contract quick enough.

It was common knowledge, when everyone thought he would be good. Once everyone realised he might not be very good, then it became Bruce's signing again. Funny that.

The Fun Factory Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I predict he will start in the Swansea cup game and that could well be probably his last game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point Bruce had no say in any transfer at Villa Park apart from being allowed to let elphick go. Who ever signed this guy though, I've no idea what they was thinking.

alreadyexists Posted December 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2018 If he’s rubbish he’s a Steve Bruce signing, and if he’s good he’s not. It’s simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'm still surprised he hasn't been on the bench ahead of Bunn. Again isn't there a rule saying we can only have 4 loan players in the 18 so presume that's why he misses out as we obviously have Axel, Tammy, Bolaise, El Ghazi all as regulars.

Why? based on what we've seen so far I'd say Bunn is a much better keeper. And Bunn isn't very good. (I'd have Bunn ahead of Nyland as well to be honest) Edited December 10, 2018 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
