rodders0223 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hate to think what this chap looks like after 2 months off. Will need a pre-pre-pre-season to get him back to shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I hope he has been working on the weights in the lockdown as he is a bit too lightweight for English football. I do think he has some talent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I remember when we signed him an Egyptian buddy of mine text and said "he's got the potential to be better than Mo Salah". Right now I'm not sure he's better than Mo Johnston. I love his graft but I feel like most of the time he's trying to exploit his pace - an advantage he might have had in Turkey, but that is completely non-existent in the Prem. File under "players you really want to succeed but probably won't". That drawer has gotten pretty full over the last few years.

villalad21 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'd like to see how he would perform on the left. It's where he played in Turkey. His natural position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edited for rubbish spelling) The Mo Salah who didn't make the grade at Chelsea and spent 2 years in Italy improving before coming back to England...not saying that will happen with Trez but despite not being an instant hit still has 3 goals in a struggling side. As for position well we currently have 3 wide players all right footed who all prefer to play on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah got 2 in 13 in his 1st Premier League spell and pulled up no trees, Trez has 3 in 15 not saying he will turn into Salah but Villa fans have an incredible knack of writing players off early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I don’t think he should be written off, he’s no world beater but for the £8.75m we paid for him, I think he’s done quite well. If we stay up, I think a winger will be high on the wanted list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think he has been an awful signing. The more I think about it the more it seems like a signing to appeal and market AVFC to a wider audience (Egypt). I remember the hype around him as the next big thing around the WC and he was poor and underwhelming. The name on the back of the shirt is what draws you in to wonder why he’d been dubbed that as an Egyptian. Just watched that latest training video released by the club and they are doing drills of balls over the top to be controlled and finished. He chests it and it runs 20ft away from him before he scuffs a shot and falls over. He can barely beat his man, relies on a kick and rush style that just looks amateur to me. We really find it hard to bring in quality and have done for years. I really want us to have a watertight recruitment team that can find potential gems that already play consistently at a decent level. Trezeguet is and always was going to be a flop. We need to distance ourselves from signing “might turn out alright” types. They are just not worth it. Talk already of him going back to Turkey and we’ll no doubt make a loss on him;- bad business. Not suited to this league at all, technically not good enough or quick enough imo. That should have been the first thing noted on any AVFC scouting report and I found it disappointing DS actually flew out to Africa to watch him play and still thought he was good enough. Hasnt worked out at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Seen this on twitter Fenerbahce have held talks with Trezeguet over a possible loan move with an option to buy. Trezeguet’s agent has told Fenerbache his client will leave if avfc are relegated. [takvim] He’ll be no loss, id sell him even if we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
