It's Your Round Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 7 minutes ago, Keyblade said: If football does restart soon, he'll actually be playing on a level playing field for once with all the players not being match fit so you never know There is that I suppose. If he’s been training hard every day and nobody else has, he might even be quicker than one or two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown absolutely zero inkling of doing anything for us in a Villa shirt. Please don't tell me how good he was 4 seasons ago to justify your opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'm really surprised we didn't send him back after the headbutt, that's grounds for terminating a loan surely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in his short time on the pitch for Villa, he ahowed that he can spray the ball about. He has experience in this league, very few of our players can say that before this season. It seems that he has been written off by many on here but not me. He can help keep us up in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not writing him off, but in his games in a Villa shirt he has consistently been one of the worst players on the pitch. He's been really really bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If his loan ended now he would go down as one of our worst signings in recent times. Even Salifou, Jenas, Holt, Dawkins cou offered something in a Villa shirt compared this clown Easily makes my worst Villa XI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The break will have done him good, he can come back refreshed. According to Wikipedia, he has only played for us 4 times and yet he is being written off. He’s a proven Premier League player, we have very few of those in our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is in those 4 appearances he was one of the worst players on the pitch. He was absolutely terrible in those performances. Being proven in the premier league doesn't automatically make him good now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 His contract here will be over before the season is restarted or cancelled. Best case scenario for anyone who still want to see him play for us is if the season restarts mid June and he get's maybe 3-4 games tops before 30/6 when the contract is finished. If we by that point asks Chelsea to extend the deal then my confidence in Smith and Suso will be spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably 7th or 8th choice as a centre midfielder. And rightly so. He's been utter shit for us and unless he manages to miraculously improve, he will probably never play in a villa shirt again.

It's almost impossible to debate any player with you when you always revert to type.... But he was good once.... Drinkwater up until now has been nothing short of abysmal. He has done literally nothing. If he has a good game I will be sure to comment on it. Can I ask you a question? Who is a player that cannot do a job for us in your eyes?
