Rivaldo and Ronaldinho aside from by you haven't even been mentioned in this thread once and no one in this thread has ever compared Wesley to Ronaldo like you claim they have. There's a search function to check. To be fair it could have been in a match thread which I wouldn't know. But Firminho is the top level comparison to wesley and is reasonable. It would be like comparing Grealish to iniesta or Zidane. He isn't as good as them but that is who we would top out as if he reaches his potential.

So nothing is off the table. Sorry you saw Wesley compared to Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho? Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I specified WHERE I saw it there? lol There is a search function there as well if you've got time.

Facebook Villa group, it was either AVFC - The Pride Live, or AVFC - The 12th Man, don't quite remember. However obviously myself and a few others commented and took the piss about it. The point being the desperation to constantly talk about how shit he is lead to comparing him to some of the most legendary players of the sport. Anyway we have a game on now, we have plenty of time to laugh about how shit he is after it... Edited December 14, 2019 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 7 hours ago, VillaCas said: Is it really all “the refs” ganging up on him though? Or is it that Wesley goes down far too easily and/or makes very clumsy (foul) challenges and all “the refs” see the same thing. It seems to me that Wesley is very often in the wrong position under the ball and makes a last minute “shove” to win possession - someone earlier in the thread made the point that as the ball is played to him, Wesley seems not to know whether he is going to bring it down, flick it on, head it or take it on his chest - he often miscontrols it and then commits a foul trying to regain possession He can perhaps improve with time, but is such a long way from what is required that I doubt he can do so quickly enough spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I don’t get all the excuses made for him. He is genuinely a dreadful, dreadful footballer. He has no redeeming qualities. At all. He does nothing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously believes that the club doesn't have a better alternative or he would have made the change by now. He looks completely bewildered in some games and contributes virtually nothing except falling over in an effort to gain a free kick. The players will have seen what fans can see and will expect the club to buy a proven goalscorer in January. If the club does not react to this 'problem' and show a lack of ambition ( for survival ) then I would imagine our two best players (Grealish and McGinn ) may be tempted to move a more successful club. This would ensure our demise to the Championship 15 minutes ago, Spoony said: I don’t get all the excuses made for him. He is genuinely a dreadful, dreadful footballer. He has no redeeming qualities. At all. He does nothing well. Charlie Nicholas half time assessment is that Villa are being let down by Wesley being unable to ' hold the ball up'. Seems like it is not just Villa supporters who can see the 'problem'. Never mind , still 45 minutes for Wes to prove everyone wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Sorry but he pretty much fulfils the definition of a 'nothing player'. Does nothing, offers nothing. Does not demand the ball, does not make any meaningful runs whether that's in the box or off the shoulder, his hold up play is exceptionally average and he is lacking in pace. Looking appalling for us now. From bad to worse after a promising start. Edited December 14, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Either get the chequebook out and pay January inflation or getting relegated m'lord. Absolute dogshit and heads should roll off the back of this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Kodjia making a massive difference already - Wesley definitely worse than Hitler and everything is his fault. Heard he even lowered the sheff utd bar before our pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 It’s like playing with 10 men when he plays, one of the worse forwards I’ve ever seen down villa, 22 million on this whoever sanctioned this deal needs there head examining 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I mean, he wasn't good but no one in the midfield or attack was today. Best thing I can say about him right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm begining to think Smith has no idea how to play to his strengths. All the criticism he gets, I hardly ever see him get a decent ball near the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
