Harry Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Officially released, we might as well shut the academy down, he was absolutely brilliant a few years ago Sadly the clue is in the last four words of your post. He looked a great prospect at 17/18 and as I recall he had fair few chances under MON. For me he just never kicked on. I always had him as a poor man's Gabby when Gabby was making an effort.

NurembergVillan Posted May 20, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2014 Didn't he get a 20k per week contract off Houllier? Same as Bannan? So we made millionaires out of kids who had achieved nothing and now they look like they never will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 hasn't done a thing in his loan spells at Coventry or Blackpool to say we are missing out. Probably best for all parties and he had his chance from a few managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 21, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2014 Can't we just stop talking about him now? 109 pages is about 108 pages more than he deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reply to SGC wouldn't go as far to say he was 'absolutely brilliant'. I'd say Ronaldo or Messi was absolutely brilliant. The best he ever showed was a bit of potential. For some reason that turned to ratshit and he's now mediocre at League 1. Non League within 2 years and driivng taxis in 4!

Stevo985 Posted May 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2014 Given plenty of chances and not once looked good enough for the first team. No huge loss. Good luck in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If he had Bowery's attitude then he would still be a Villa player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but unless I imagined it Fonz also went out to Coventry and he played plenty but barely scored. What I'm saying is it's debatable whether he's even good enough for League 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a fair debate in that case. I'll just state I'd rather have Delfouneso here than Bowery, but it really is a battle of two poor footballers.

Brumstopdogs Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 IMO we did the right thing letting the lad go as he has never lived up to his potential. Think he will find his level in league 1 or league 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I don’t think he’s got the skill set to be successful in the lower leagues, I think unfortunately for him he will drop out of the football league fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 On trial at Blackpool, scored a couple in a friendly this weekend. They are absolutly desperate for players so he should be able to get himself a nice pay day if he plays his cards right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
