He is he because we have guaranteed him starting, in effect telling Heaton he is now number 2. I can see why he might be miffed. Especially having left a club he loved to be number one here. But while I understand that we can’t just not sign players to avoid upsetting the ones we have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to leave one Gk competition at a potential Champions League team to have another Gk competition at a middling Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he doesn't think they're quite good enough even for just the first few matches. Neither of them are good enough. It's been quite clear Steer isn't good enough for years. It's a shame but it's reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of you people on Villatalk know a lot more than me about football, so maybe you're right, but I haven't forgotten that he was our keeper during our record-breaking run of ten league wins in a row in our promotion season. And I thought he did well overall in the playoffs too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steer has been loaned out by every manager he's had at Villa except Smith. But Smith has been constantly trying to sign new goalkeepers. So I think it's clear he's not rated by the club, and never has been. It's a shame for him. I like the guy. But he is not a Premier League keeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean, that it's clear he hasn't been highly rated by the club, mainly because they're buying Martinez. At the end of the day they know much better than me how good a keeper Steer is! I guess I may have overrated him a bit and I didn't watch enough whole games that he played on live TV, to have a better understanding.

And he got paid handsomely for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no place for sentimentality at this level. He'll be an icon of the club for what he did but that doesn't mean he's owed a few games to see how he goes .... Doesn't work like that sadly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
