jasonperry_uk Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Was about to reply with this too - I've heard several times that Drinkwater should be taking his name more literally! He's gone from being a league winner to a washed-up drunkard by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he could have wised up, although seems unlikely. The nightclub one was at Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Eze and he is good then there is a ready made song for him: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation that incident wouldn’t be a major concern if he could play. But if he’s still drinking then must be a false link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard seem like a sensible guy and the SPL would toughen him up a bit while still allow him to score goals and get some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Drinkwater would be an awful signing, likes his beer more than Ross Mcormack. Completely against the direction of signings we were apparently going for, I understand there is a need for experience within the squad but at least sign someone who's played a bit over the past few years.

Whats funny is on here i'm reading he would be a terrible signing. (I haven't heard anything of him , except that at Leicester he was VERY highly rated.) On Facebook, they are all saying "Oh would be a brilliant signing" "Now this is the type of player we should be after etc" Is this a truth somewhere in the middle thing? Or just that, as suspected, most on the Facebook Villa groups have absolutely no clue? lol That being said, I've always wanted Balotelli, so not necessarily qualified to judge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 On his day he (Drinkwater) was very good. My question though is he going to be a player that grabs hold of a game? That’s what we really need a vocal leader that’s going to dig out other players from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Morelos is a goalscorer but how many times has he been sent off ffs? Serious behaviour issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent at Leicester can't deny that and then he got his move to Chelsea and played a handful of games in the 17/18 season but since then he has 1 premier league appearance. Last I heard he got filled in after a night out in Manchester. If he can't get Into that Burnley squad where Ashley Westwood plays who is like the bench marker for a terrible midfielder for majority of Facebook villa fan groups then I dont know what he will have to offer here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
