briny_ear Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Heskey: Shit personified. I know he's shit, you know he's shit, most of other fans know he's shit. MON didn't think he was shit, so signed him, and what do you know...he's been shit. Capello doesn't think he's shit... Kevin MacDonald doesn't think he's shit... Our new manager, to be announced tomorrow according to "Sky sources", doesn't think he's shit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your approach was - if MON signed them, they must by definition be "shit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst wearing the colours of my club, he's been, on the whole, pretty damn shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parisvilla Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 not the worst by any means imo - sidwell has to be the worst; does absolutely **** all whenever hes on the pitch, we pay him 40k a week and paid Chelsea 5mill for him. total disaster. i think heskeys been decent for us in all fairness.

Mark8691 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hmm worst signing? Shame there's so many to choose from.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBGB Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Pretty much every single manager, even the very best, has a number of shoddy signings. MON has his share, but no more than any one else. He just gets a lot of shit on here because most of his signings were so unimaginative. I would agree with the people above who say Sidwell was the worst MON buy. Heskey maybe second.

lexicon Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Definitely not. Sidwell and Beye have been far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's 3.5 million pounds, you could EASILY, EASILY find worse signings than that if you take into consideration that he came in on the cheap. Downing, considering the transfer fee. Sidwell Didn't Beye cost more? Harewood cost more as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 At the rate he's going after his 'full pre-season' (no excuse now) has to be Stewart Downing. At least Agathe didn't cost £12 million! I was surprized it took 9 pages for him to get a mention. The way he is playing this season and the way we changed our shape to accomadate him last season he could be your man. 12 million, hasn't shown anything more than Heskey.

Oaks Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I dont think he is the worst player Martin signed, but certainly the worst signing, because it changed that winning successful team playing 4-5-1. after winning 8 and drawing 2 out of 10.

Well Capello's not much cop MacDonald is being polite & Houllier wants a job Got to be seen saying the right thing. Anyway regardless of what they think, I've seen him play and I think his shit. I think most of us know what we see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lammy123 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Heskey Was the beginning of the end for MON. If there had of been some imagination in that particular transfer window it could have been so different!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 For the money spent, contribution made and depreciation of value, I think Curtis Davies was a worse signing. I rate Big Curt, but he's making little contribution, and is worth a fraction of what we paid for him. Heskey comes close though, but i think many expected a lot less from him. He has played more, and cost a lot less than Curt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 regardless of the results, i think your 'average' Villa fan started losing faith in him that year, especially combined with the europa debacal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 For me he is definitely amongst the worst so I put yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
