Leeroy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 32 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: One of the worst players I’ve seen at Villa in years. Happy if I don’t have to watch him play again. Think this is ridiculously harsh and also pretty ignorant of quite how many bad players we’ve had over the years. He’s limited of course and painfully slow but started in some impressive victories last season (Brentford, Newcastle, Man Utd). I didn’t even think he was that bad on Boxing Day at Old Toilet, the whole team just fell apart in the 2nd half. The fact that the current Italian champions are signing him suggests he obviously has some quality. As a backup player he was fine and we definitely need to bring in experienced cover because if Kamara gets injured we only have a 20 year old as an option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been average af in his bit-part appearances since then. Care to elaborate on why you think otherwise? 'Will never forgive him' ffs He's not the first decent player to make a mistake against a lower league side and certainly won't be the last. It's not all as black and white as you think it is.

MSvillain Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 He's like Lothar Matthäus if you compare him to Carlos Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'd hope we've got a replacement to come in. Despite what people say Tim is not a CDM he's more an 8 so we're short in cover for Kamara. I think we can get away with McGinn filling in there or Tielemans until end of season if we are planning on giving Tim game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we will make a permanent replacement now whilst we have a risk that Donk may return. It will likely be a temporary replacement or go with what we have. I think he'll do really well at Napoli and in Serie A so they will hopefully make deal permanent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Don't you just love how Aston Villa do business, 3 pages back the rumours & links come out regards Dendonker buy the following page he is in a Napoli shirt on loan till end of season that's why the media don't talk about us because they no shit about us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an extremely highly compensated professional athlete. If he makes mistakes that cost us points on multiple occasions then I'm entitled to think he's shit at the job he's been tasked with, because he is. Maybe he should do your job since apparently you feel free to make repeated mistakes without criticism. Next.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 What a brilliant move for the man. Superb footballing city. His career destinations: Brussels to Wolverhampton to Aston to Naples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Been away most the day, this moved quick! In fairness, I don't think he's anywhere near as shite as some would try to make out. A steady Eddie type player who could be useful for many clubs, think he'll do fine in another League. Either way, the important thing is getting good value for him and the wages off the books. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not a huge fan of loans out unless they for development. I don't think this is for development. As others have said, a steady player bit surely we need better of we wanna be where we wanna be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Must be on a fair wedge this must be down to FFP. Not sure we will bring in a direct replacement. A long line of players for Villa who are ok for a few years and then get moved on. After about 6 months you then barely remember he played for us, whilst he earnt millions.

Apparently on something in the region of 90 - 120 k I believe. Could be totally wrong but think I read such somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was reported 90k at Wolves and we matched that if those wage sites can be relied upon Edited January 23 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepDish Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think he will do fine in Napoli. I am sure he will be sold at the end of the season after a good loan spell. Some players are just not suited to the tempo in Premier League, and I think Dedonker is one of them who will do a lot better in Holland, Germany or Italy.
