PompeyVillan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Delfouneso has a questionable attitude, it might hold him back, it might not. It might just be front, he doesn't always seem all that confident to me when he's on the pitch. He just needs to keep working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Claret75, we have a Delph and a Delfouneso... they are not one :winkold: Beasley14, I agree that a loan for Fonz to get a run of games would be good. We have Gabby, Heskey & Bent upfront and Downing, Ash, Gabby or Marc to play on the wings, so it's not like we desperately need him to stay. Though if he stays and gets us goals in the cup, I won't complain. Pickeeeeeeee Just a slip Rob182, don't worry, I won't let it happen again.

Sounds off the pitch, he's quite cocky but on the pitch, he carries himself as if he is exactly what he is, a youngster given a chance, looks quite shy, nervous. Compared to someone like Bannan who pretty much tries to express just about everything in his locker before the game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The Fonz scores goals, he's still young as well. That's all we can ask from the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Saw him after the match outside players exit. He was talking to a short, black 30s looking Blackburn player (sorry don't know who) and to a smartly dressed skinnier black guy in his early 40's (at first I thought he was a former Villa great because Villa players were going up to say hello (Bannan and Albrighton + Fonz...help me out with my limited pre-2006 Villa knowledge!!) Anyways, Nathan came across as a little whiney baby. He said "Yeah man, well it ain't my position, the gaffer should know I'm a striker...I don't play out there....But you know, I bang in the goals cause that's my job baby, banging them in...." Not exactly eloquent. BTW, no clue what Bannan was saying except for a couple words here and there ...I don't understand HIS Scottish accent. Met Albrighton and sat next to his parents at the match, great people. Delfouneso 'I bang in the goals' has got 2 in 15 appearances this season... Any other stories to tell about any other players?

I told Friedel if my accent one day ends up like his half American, half English weird accent, I'd have to kick my own ass. He told me that I should respect my elders and that he's bigger than me. Michel Salgado is THE MAN. Spoke to him after the match today before he got on the team bus. He has won everything and still goes about his business like a classy pro. He said how losing always hurts. The Fonz's car is "only" a BMW 118....pretty crap compared to the others. That's all, that I can repeat, from today.

jonno_2004 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's a shame that he appears silly enough to question the manager in hearing distance of random people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I told Friedel if my accent one day ends up like his half American, half English weird accent, I'd have to kick my own ass. He told me that I should respect my elders and that he's bigger than me. Haha, I've slowly lost my American accent even worse than big brad and I hate it. It has only been a few years and I'm already sounding like Bannan. Hence to say, I even now understand Bannan...contemplating kicking my own ass. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeinMadrid Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 So true. But EVERY player does it. I wouldn't call it questioning the manager...but he did sound like the typical 19/20 y.o. that knows EVERYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona10 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 What I've heard and read about Bent is he really helps the younger players and I'm sure he'll help Nathan in being level headed, but for a 20 year old he is very highly rated and he's right he does bang in goals.

Yes, it is real funny how fast it happens, given the amount of time Brad has been there, quite shocked his hasnt gotten worse than it is really.

Spl1304 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ronaldo, Henry, Droba, all arrogant. Doubt Delfouneso will score half as many as those 3 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will87 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Real prospect, if he keeps it up he'll end up better than Gabby (not sure he isn't already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
