I know people were turning their noses up at him and I can understand that given his age and he might not have been as good as his loan spell but he's still a solid player for West Ham. Someone you'd know would put the graft in and help out Targett or whoever was at LB for us and could chip in with goals and assists as he's done for West Ham over last two seasons. 5 league goals for West Ham so more than Trez has got. I would've had Snoddy in a heartbeat, proved in his time here that he is willing to put in a shift! Plus he has more talent in his big right toe than Trez has in his entire body....

Yes 100% committed but wasn't convinced by his ability and definitely not his age. But yes he would be a 1000% improvement on what we've ended up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't mean that RS should've been a target of ours, but like for like for the amount spent..... Nearly 9 mill for Trez, just get sick of my club having their pants pulled down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, he is a target of abuse for fans, I don’t know why this is, can’t we just pull together as fans and get behind the squad as a whole? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 His nickname derives from the former French footballer David Trezeguet after his former youth coach noticed similarities between the pair in playing style and appearance.

It’s absolute total bollocks and I’d appreciate you taking back your accusations of casual racism. He is shit. It has nothing to do with his nationality. Some of my favourite Villa players of all time are Irish, Australian, Colombian, Trinidadian etc. I like Elmohamady who is the same nationality as Trezeguet. My problem with Trezeguet isn’t his nationality. It’s his complete lack of top level footballing ability. He’s shit I knew you were a racist!! edit. On a serious note I’ve tried to give him the benefit of the doubt after his goals against big teams. But let’s face it. He is way out of his debt in this league!

Well they don't, but that's how much you'd pay for a well-performing winger from a midtable Championship club. The better ones like Bowen go for slightly more than that.

Maybe, but as I said in an earlier post, if we didn't buy 3 of these type of players we could've bought 1 player that might've actually made a difference to this squad. I know we had to get bodies in because of our depleted squad but I see this year's recruitment as a failure. Didn't we at some point basically say we were not going to loan any players because we don't roll like that. Well that idea looks pretty silly now. Should've loaned in a couple of players and bought someone of better quality. Edited June 26, 2020 by Villan_of_oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, some free transfers like Cahil, a couple of loan signings and keeping some of the players we released would have been better. Spending £120 million on 4 or 5 players would have added real quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my opinions on DS and some of them maybe harsh, however how is giving him Jota, Trez and AEG as wingers supporting him? Cahill comes in as experience and a leader something we have clearly lacked all season. I thought Engels was ok at the start but something is amiss there, Konsa is maybe for the future but we couldn't afford to buy for the future we needed to buy, loan in or whatever for this season. We were ridiculously stubborn on loans and I hope if we go down our ideals and those who made them are heavily scrutinised.

Keyblade Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The thing is, even with all the bodies we got in, we still suffered an injury crisis. If we got in 3 or 4 quality players instead, we would have always been 1 or 2 injuries away from having to start Vassilev or RHM every week. It's a similar conundrum to what Lambert faced in his time here. I think the route taken by him and our current team was the right one though. Because luckily for us, we have ambitious management who will look to kick on if we stay up whereas Lerner was perfectly fine with the status quo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sulberto21 Posted June 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2020 I thought he was fantastic today for 82 minutes. The technique he showed on the wing was superb. Some of those calf stretches and high knee rolls were exquisite in their execution. The last 8 minutes were poor though especially when he had to come on to the pitch but before that. Let's hope he can do that for 90 + minutes next time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
