JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Got off the bench to hug Jesus after the final whistle. The only action he got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Quickly coming up on 24 months since that injury, since then he has played a total of about 200 minutes of football (+ whatever minutes he got in friendlies). That's just sad for everyone involved and especially him of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just sad for everyone involved and especially him of course. Sad reality of how bad an injury it was I'm afraid. Bizarre people were on here this time last season saying we didn't need to sign anyone upfront as "Wesley would be back soon." Think the brief cameos last season just showed it's very tough to get back to a good level when you're out for over a year. Wish him all the best, can see us coming soon to mutual termination of his deal eventually just to help him find a club as obviously no one is going to pay much more for him and he'll still have two years left in the summer.

The Fun Factory Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) If he has been sensible he should have enough money to be comfortable for the rest of his life. It is sad to see that it looks like he isn't going to recover from the injury. Edited November 23, 2021 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he could still work out a career playing in the lower leagues or even as a journeyman playing in obscure leagues around the world. Sure its not PL money, but he its probably still a decent living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'd say he'll be recalled in January, need to find some minutes for him. Could send him to a League 1 side possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We've got 2 years left on his contract at the end of this season. 4.4m amortisation and 1.8m in Wages. We've got the Jack Grealish money on our accounts for those years so not going to be a huge issue to our ability to sign players. He might go back to Brazil if we can recall him from Brugge. It's start of the season down there in January. He spent lots of time back home when recovering so he would hopefully be positive about a move like that. I think we need to forget about who can contribute to wages and focus on him playing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 You don't suddenly lose all your ability because you've been out for a year. People needs to accept the possibility that he never was very good in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to go secure the bag playing in India or somewhere in the far east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think it's Big Wes' birthday today. Sad to see he still can't get minutes for Bruges. It's still pisses me off that Ben Mee got away with that tackle. On the same day Wes' had his best game for Villa scored one and had another ruled out for offside by about 1mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember Wes having one ruled out. I know Grealish had a header ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People needs to accept the possibility that he never was very good in the first place. Think he got 17 goals and 7 assists the season before we signed him. Pretty sure he was in double digits for goals the season before that. He proved himself at Club Brugge and he clearly had ability. To suggest you can’t lose your ability shows you clearly don’t know what the word means. Following his injury he clearly is unable to perform how he did previously, whether that be physically down to the injury, mentally or otherwise I don’t know but whatever be the reason it’s a huge shame. Stop trolling man. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 'Because you've been out for a year' as if it's some casual injury, and Wesley wasn't even fully fit after a year ffs. Bruges even took him despite failing his medical (or at least showing signs he wasn't quite right if he didn't fail it) if reports are to be believed.
