Unfortunately you had a coach that didn't know how to use him, he was an out and out "goal poacher" just like Jimmy Greaves, didn't track back, hardly bothered to tackle, at Brentford he was fed by some very good midfielders with accurate passing skills most of the time, almost putting scoring on a plate, I think your coach thought he was a team player, far from it, he was lazy, wasn't getting the support from your midfield that he needed, therefore was not a success with you, Hogan also had a touch of thinking he was better that he really was, by the time Dean Smith came along Hogan was too far down the line to recapture his scoring abilities that he had with us, hope that helps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon plan a) was Gomez/Leao plan b) is ??? Plan c) Maupay. Always thought if we really wanted Maupay he would of signed weeks ago. Hope we get our top choice as just don’t think Maupay will work out for us. Edited July 31, 2019 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you throw enough mud... I followed him for about 6 months. He just comes across as an attention seeker, loves to boast when he does actually get something right and if anyone dares call him out or question him, he blocks them.

He just comes across as an attention seeker, loves to boast when he does actually get something right and if anyone dares call him out or question him, he blocks them. I too have followed him for ages, and obviously he occasionally gets things wrong. I'm sure the oracle himself, John Percy, has occasionally gotten something wrong (eg: when a deal has changed) too. I've seen the same things you've described, except for I see it as people question him, so then when he is proven right, he understandably points out he wasn't bullshitting. Don't 99% of people who are slagged off before the truth is released do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a big part of the Villa Park redevelopment is a huge medical centre. It’s going to be kitted out with the latest hi tech medical equipment and we’re hoping we can get new recruits through at a rate of 8 an hour. There will even be a viewing gallery that seats 5000, so people can cheer on the player and medical staff as they carry out the medical and transfuse new claret and blue blood into the lucky recruit. It’ll be called, The Marvelous Medical Centre. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame but like I said, I was just guessing. Might not have been him. Basically, think of a 20-25 year old with immense potential and decent record. Most likely not UK based as better value. Tenacious/combative mentality. Fast. Chances are we're interested. Edited July 31, 2019 by Mazrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever see Jimmy play (live or recorded)? He had a bit more to his game than being just a "goal poacher", although he admittedly did score goals for fun as well. Jimmy was one of England's best ever strikers and was arguably the best, would Hogan be considered one of Brentford's best even? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Phillipe Mateta from Mainz fits that bill, looks like a similar player to Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He believes Maupay is plan B. Can’t see it myself...but exciting all the same. To reiterate an earlier poster Dan Bardell said this also on the Villa View podcast today. It does fit: Maupay wants to come and play under Smith as he could walk into an offer from Sheffield or Brighton which is likely Maupay's plan B. I think he is our back up option, I think we will offer for a very talented European forward, likely a right winger as it suits our system and we also stopped at £14m for Benrahma which suggests we have eyes for that position. My money is on Florian Thauvin. You heard it here first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
