tonyh29 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 its the physical side where he seems to struggle .. he did a great bit of skill yesterday where he knocked the ball one side of the defender, and he ran the other side .. The defender just basically muscled him off the ball ... and that seems to have been the pattern all season I kinda hope he moves on regardless , he isn't really cut out for this level ... If we stay up , then his goals this week will have been massive , I won't be chipping in to buy a statue of him outside VP , but I'll wish him well at his new club and give him a decent reception if he ever comes back to VP whilst playing for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely try to get rid of one of El Ghazi and him and if we're going to continue with the two wingers, we need 2 better ones, but having one of them on the bench wouldn't be terrible.

Id be tempted to make a offer for chris wood in the summer if we stay up and dwight McNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ghazi has the more potential \ talent but his attitude seems to be very up and down .. Overall this season he's been disappointing , I'd expect him to be moved on as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'd keep both as back up but we need 2 new, really good wingers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be selling any players in close season (grealish aside if he wants to go) We need to add 5 or so players and not sell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DJ_Villain Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 8 hours ago, Wezbid said: The guy is frustrating at times but some of the comments over this season have been a disgrace. Absolutely they have... Not on here but on other well known social media sites, I have seen some abhorrent things said about the bloke (and his family) all because he can't kick a football like they do at the Nou Camp... He comes across as a genuinely lovely bloke who has been given a golden opportunity to show how good he is... and yeah, ok... A lot of the time, he has shown he might not be up to the task... but then he pops up by getting himself into the right position and sticks the ball in the back of the net... and he has done it a good few times this season... Considering its his first season in English football (let alone the Premier League), he is still adapting, still learning the language and settling in... I can't help but like the bloke 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Apparently blocked several Villa fans on Twitter. Criticism is fine but when it transcend into personal abuse that's when it become disgraceful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinlessWonder Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If we do now stay up, he'll have re-payed every penny we spent on him with his goal last night, 2 against Palace and the once against Leicester. Love his effort, attitude and knack of popping one in when it matters. I'd keep him without doubt for next season, as a starter if we're in the championship and on the bench if we're in the PL. I'd get rid of El Ghazi either way and i'd get rid of Jota if we're in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I like Trez, has his limitations but always tries his hardest and has scored some massive goals for us this year. Must have one of the best goals/minutes played ratios in the squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't have stayed if we went down and he doesn't look good enough for this level if we stay up it seems. If he’s going the club obviously decided to let him go. Personally would have liked to see another season at PL level, but again think he’s only a squad player and we definitely need better wingers if we stay up.

rodders0223 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He's the best shittest player we've ever had. Or the shittest best player we've ever had. One of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think few players come good from abroad in one season, I have branded Trez the new Tonev at times but there is something about him that is growing on me, he tries so hard, his movement off the ball is getting better, he just needs to focus and get stronger on the ball as he is definitely too lightweight but I think that can be taught, he like many others is from lightweight leagues, the Prem is the most physical league in the world so it takes time to learn how to deal with that. He needs to beat the man then ensure there is enough contact so that he either wins the ball or a free kick like Grealish does. But yeah at the moment he is doing more than any of our strikers which is proves how crap we are up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which one I'd pick tbh. I'd actually keep him over Ghazi. Not because he's better technically or is a cleverer player. I just think he has a much stronger character. The kid is like the Monty Python sketch....chop his arms and legs off and he'd still be trying his hardest to battle. I think if you could mould them together you'd have a great player but as you can't the battler is more important than the poser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
