It isn't healthy. I get that some fans have fond memories of Fred's first season but he is not helping us by staying and not playing games. you said he was a poor signing so now changing the opinion of why he should go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also set up a goal for El Ghazi v Burnley with a lovely cross. Then lost his way a bit like Engels from a bright start and just reverted to occasional starter. Did he actually play for us again after covid hit, you're talking about nearly three years so well overdue he's moving on and makes sense to go back home where he's played well on loan at two different clubs. He played in the run in when we stayed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 5 minutes ago, Villa_Vids said: Correct. I think he has been. He has been here just under four years. What has he done here? Really? He has been a poor signing if we are being honest. But some fans have different views on his achievements and I respect that. I think we are lowing the bar if we are praising him for his first season (and that only). Well, I'd say he helped keep us up. Then he had what, two seasons where his wages were off (assuming so anyway) our books? Ideal situation would have been to move him on permanently earlier though I agree.

Tom13 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Think it was actually 1.5 seasons he was loaned out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEM can in for many of the post lockdown games and showed his experience in the way Young is doing now but can remember Freddie playing v Arsenal and West Ham so he did play a decent part in some of our wins in 19/20 (can also remember him being decent at home to Watford which was a huge win in the end).

ender4 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Daily Mail is saying that he’s agreed to cancel his contract with Villa and then join Strasbourg as a free agent. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11634673/Aston-Villa-defender-Frederic-Guilbert-close-cancelling-contract-club.html That should save Villa a few £’s in wages.

From the article: «When Steven Gerrard arrived, he told me I had two weeks to prove myself but then I barely played 45 minutes.» Typical poor manager that wants to play tough!

Good luck though Fred. to be fair, we agreed the deal when we were in the championship in jan with a join date of the following summer. before we started our 10 game winning run. he was never meant to play in the PL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
