Save your distain for the players who sign a contract then down tools and moan because they can't be arsed. The rest have just been there to support our club until they aren't required or are still making a contribution and deserve our support. Don't understand the hate.

OLDVILLAIN Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 With the current state of the economy in turkey they will probably offer 5 million for Trez... Spoiler 5 million Turkish lira that is.. converted to 237k British pounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2022 Think people have said all I wanted to say, except just one more thing - It may not necessarily have been the best team performance, but we will never get a better *result* in the PL than Villa 7 Liverpool 2, and my man Trez put in an absolute shift that day. He may have only ended up with the one assist, but that was workrate defined. I must never remember to be harsh to any player that played a part that day - that includes Targett too, and Barkley for that matter. Whatever else, they gave us that. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a wonderful point - especially so for Barkley, who I don’t really think much positive of. Part of our biggest PL day in over a decade, apart from maybe a couple of times dodging relegation years ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see how any club in Turkey can "import" a player with the currency mess their moron leader has caused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We're discussing him on a forum, I'd never boo him or show any hate via social media for example. He isn't a good player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) We got what we needed from him - we stayed up, he played a big part in that and scored some vital goals. Apart from the occasional diving, he hasnt let us down - not when you compare him to other players over the last 15 years who've been absolutely useless and haven't given a shit. Deserves nothing but our thanks and best wishes. Unless he stays in England, in which case he's an absolute donkey Edited June 10, 2022 by StewieGriffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 When we came up we needed to pad out the squad and some were a gamble obviously. I think we signed ten players that summer? Trez was ok in parts, scored a couple of good goals but clearly wasn’t the standard required to be a regular starter. Cost approx £8m and we’ll make a small loss no doubt. If we can get £3/4m back, I think that’s ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, we were left with hardly anything. At least we’re bringing in money for our squad players now, rather than releasing ageing players on a free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We wouldn’t have stayed up without Trez. We’ve moved on but I’ll always have soft spot for him due to his work ethic and hope he has the best possible career after he leaves us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you quote a post where someone has shown disdain for one of our players? I said Trezeguet was one of the worst footballers I've seen for Villa. Some agreed, some disagreed. All good. But actual disdain for somebody - can you show me please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we wouldn't have stayed up without any players who scored a goal where we won by one goal by this logic. Targett against Brighton? Mings on his ass in the last minute against Watford? If we weren't playing Trezeguet, perhaps we would have found someone who was better and scored us more goals and therefore we stay up more comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we not have stayed up without Wesley? The "we wouldn't have stayed up without" is such a weird argument. (But I'm done now, promise).

On top of that Trez gave us a goal that reached a cup final and 3 goals in 4 games that kept us in the Premier League and still he gets massive disrespect in his thread. He cared for the club so I care for him and wish him the best. He deserves everyone's respect for his contribution to our club. The idiots calling him one of the worst to play for the club or the Turkish Brett Holman can eat a bag of dicks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
