I think Drinkwater is a much better footballer than Hourihane, no disrespect to Hourihane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them has been on the piss and not behaved like professional athletes since their big move. Drinkwater more so than Carroll. Drinky has shown terrible attitude and judgement for years now.

He's a disgrace. Liverpool paid £35m for Carroll, yes they overpaid for him at the time like any transfer, it’s up to the manager to get the best out of the player. How they do that is beyond me, any transfer is a gamble regardless of fee. If we actually get Drinkwater out on the pitch, he could keep us up. I think he’s that good, others will probably disagree just for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His past won't make him play well in the current. Truly one of the worst midfielders i've ever seen in a Villa shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hourihane has done well when he has played this season for us but I just don’t think he’s a Premier League quality midfielder, just good Championship, do you agree? Yes, I agree with you that past is irrelevant, it is the present that matters. Judging by your last sentence, you have written him off completely in a Villa shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 In the last 12 months he's been caught drunk driving after crashing his car, gotten beat up in a club after hitting on another players girlfriend while drunk and managed to headbutt a teammate after a bust up in training.' All things happened during season, granted spread out over 2 different seasons and only one of these things happened while he was with us. But still. Considering he's also been a disaster on the pitch I can't fathom why anyone would still want him here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Smith wanted him here as I did, he was always going to be a risk like any player but he has the ability to transform our season, I think he’s that good on the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Danny Drinkwater was a bad signing, for fitness reasons. No doubt about that. But the idea that he is a worse footballer than Conor Hourihane is completely mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor is twice the player. I don't care what he did before. All i judge him on is games in a Villa jersey.

Popular Post Zatman Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 Drinkwater is the worst midfielder ever to play for Villa even worse than Bacuna and Salifou. Drinkwater might have more "talent" but Hourihane is 10 times the player and the man 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People degraded Steven Ireland as a crisp packet in the wind, he had 100 times the presence of Drinkwater. Waste of a shirt, and a pernicious presence, headbutting your team mate, drink driving, getting into fights at night clubs. The guy that played for Leicester was good, but this guy is not him, and not of a character you want or need at a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 What is the point of arguing over Danny Drinkwater?! Surprised there is still activity in the ‘on topic’ section at all during this, let alone so much back and forth about a guy who played a handful of half matches for us and won’t pull on the shirt again...

We would really have to have some kind of high level review to decide that, I mean blimey, war and peace would look like a 2 page nursery rhyme compared to a document detailing possible "biggest ever tool" to play for aston villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
