MaVilla Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 looks like he missed a shootout penalty which meant DR Congo went out of the ANC (lost to Madagascar). couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Think about this had we still had this wasteland we probably wouldn't have gone up. One of the smartest decisions we ever made was sending him back and using the wages to get mings in. #mingsin #wastemanout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the vitriol? Not picking on you in particular, genuinely curious as to why (from a lot of our fanbase) he seems to get so much stick. I honestly don't remember him being that bad, especially compared to some players of that era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remember him being that bad, especially compared to some players of that era. i think the general vitriol comes from the way he cut his loan short. In theory his loan was until the end of the season, but he cut it short in Jan, the rumours at the time implied he thought Villa didnt have a chance of promotion (we did have a poor run tbf), that we werent good enough for him, and he wanted to go back to Everton so he could get a loan to a "better club". Sure there is other stuff, but eh.....was nearly 2 years ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he comes across as a nice person on social media tbh - definitely able to have banter/ and always seems positive about Villa. I’m not sure why some people invest such time/energy into disliking so many of our ex-players for fairly trivial reasons. Seems kinda pointless imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching this proves he clearly did. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, too. It's nice to hear his reasons for cutting his loan short too. It was never really explained, and it did turn out to be the right thing for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Bit like traore now, never looked fully fit, not sure what was wrong with him but it was easy to suggest it was because he was cruising here without a care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
