R.I.C.O. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think he's going to go the same way as Stefan Moore. Its a huge shame, he had the talent, just not the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Never truly thought that Delfouneso would cut it at the highest level. The first thing I look for in a player is awareness & that is something that I always felt was sadly lacking in Nathan's game. A bit of a headless chicken in reality whose game never progressed. A pity really because he does have an eye for a goal. But, on a reputed £20 k p/w we really need him off the books. Hopefully this frees up more money for that elusive AM we shall soon be swooping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Where has this £20k/week figure materialised from? I'd guess he was on closer to half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point when, if i remember correctly, nobody in the first team squad earned less than £20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Where has this £20k/week figure materialised from? I'd guess he was on closer to half that. Delfonesou, Bannan, Allbrighton and Isiah Osbourne were all given wages way above their ability. Isiah was on a wage not far of £20k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well Delfouneso should be better than Drogba was last year, next year. He would be already if he had been played, he should be played regularly from now on, him and bent would be my dream strike partnership they would be lethal, they'd score 20 between them between now and the end of the season So do we know why The Fonz is in the Bomb Squad? Attitude? Lack of ability? The guy is frustrating to say the least, he has some amount of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feidhlim Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He needed to hit the gym, big time. Or eat a ham sandwich or something. Too slight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Don't see him as being in Lambert's plans next season, doesn't seem to have the ability and skill to be a Premiership striker, won't be challenging our strikers (Benteke, Gabby, Weimann and Helenius) for places. Probably be back down in the Championship for another season, most likely back at Blackpool, think some interest/inquires has been made. Never really impressed me at Blackpool either; his only moment in a Villa shirt I can remember with some delight was when he nearly scored at St Shithole in the 1-1 when Collins equalised, hitting the crossbar.

The Fun Factory Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just goes to show how few from the youth team really make it. 5-6 often get into the first XI for a bit and then are found out. Looks like a championship player for me. If we can get a mil for him I would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just goes to show that you literally have to give everything, and having a good attitude goes long ways. It must be frustrating for those that really give it their all and still "fail" but that is how it is. You can`t give up though, you never can. I think it really relates to what you do outside of the pitch though, you really have to have that mentality and focus if you want to make it, unless you are blessed from the get-go.
