dundeevilla Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 No. he wasn't good enought first time around. I understand why peopel liked him, and I liked him when he was here. But affection for him shouldn't blind us to the fact that he wasn't consistent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 i wouldnt have had him first time round, not with the calibre of players that were available at the time...... big error on JG's part !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 He was a brilliant striker in his prime but one who never fitted in to our style of play. He's way past it now, but even if we wasn't he wouldn't be MON's cup of tea. Although IMO, with his spring and heading ability he'd revel in the service we now have from the wings. What annoys me about attitudes towards the player is, he's either hated by some for not performing or loved by others in an almost patronising way, 'he was a nice man' or 'a good pro'. Bullshit, there was a bloody good player there who's talents we failed to utilise. That's a great shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccerHQ Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 So right let me get this thread straight: The synopsis is for Harewood who played about 5 times this last season and I think still just about exists as a villa player to be replaced by JPA who'd do exactly the same! And here was me thinking the striker we'd get in would challenge the front two, particularly Gabby, for a place. Nah, JPA wouldn't fit in out style of play at all as while Young and Gabby are breaking at pace, he'd be trotting along on the halfway line.

Salsa Party Animal Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I like his style and ability as player and would blossom with our current team if he is 5 years younger. I don't think we should have him back for playing. What we should do is find a young Juan Pablo Angel's intelligent and skills with Agbonlahor pace and Carew strength and power. We don't need a new striker unless we can find someone special and get that 30 goals a season for us in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banny73 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 No way, most over rated player i can remember,that was years ago, he can only have got worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Now that he's been released by New York and Villa are desperate for goals..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I would have him back on the coaching staff somewhere. I think he would be a great ambassador for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He was a fantastic player when he came to us - too good for most of his team mates. I haven't - and I suspect very few have - seen enough of him over the past 12 months to know whether he is still at a sufficient enough level to do a job for us as fourth choice with all the injuries. However, being released by NY Red Bulls probably says it all. Coaching staff would be great though as I think he is technically one of the best I have seen at VP, just lacked a bit of pace and a second foot.

chappy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I would take him back in a coaching capacity, if he would come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I can't believe some people on here saying Angel was shite for us! Whilst I would be reluctant to take him back as a player, he was a good striker who's talents were wasted by our "team". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 This has nothing to do with the thread, but is anyone else having trouble getting onto AVFC website? Sorry to ask here, but it's not worth making a thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Only with our current injury concerns in mind, yes. I would love to have him back, 3 month contract perhaps? Certainly wouldn't be looking to bring him back long term but as a Chris Sutton type signing then sure, why the hell not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2010 Sorry but this is a two year old topic dredged up for no good reason, if we're actually linked to JPA in the media, please start another topic or wait until we start that speculation topic (which is coming real soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
