nik986 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 why is he not on the bench? absolutely ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I don't get this attitude stuff, i've spoken to the kid a few times before he broke through at VP and he was a fairly level headed kid, knew he had to work hard and get into the side. He's by far the most talented striker we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Talk is cheap though, just because people say that they realise what they need to do doesn't mean they actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNichollsToe Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 There was rumours going around that he has/had an attitude problem.. idk if its true or not. How many times to do we hear this "attitude" crap, when players struggle to get a game? We have to remmember that the kid is still a kid, and will have dips in his development. Its more a mental thing than anything, and this comes down to desire. I think its to early to write him off yet, because he may still turn out to be very good. Likewise, he could turn out to be another Luke Moore. Its up to him, and how much he really wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I agree but I'm just saying he's a level headed kid and when he's played for Villa I've never seen a Billy big time attitude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i totally agree with you... but it doesn't really help when he doesn't get any games that's why i suggested he should go loan or somehow get more games, Fonz is the type of lad that needs games imo.

The way i take it when someone mentions an "attitude problem" is the player walks around thinking he is the big i am, and sulks when he does not get what he wants.

theunderstudy Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I would rather see him playing than Carew, who is at the moment, utter dogshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I fear we wouldnt be able to hold the ball upfront for any great length of time with Young and Delfouneso up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldClass Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Shillz, I agree but at least Delfouneso would put in a shift for us, Carew maybe have the ability to hold the ball up, but rarely is he showing it at the moment, and he hardly got a sweat up against Spurs.

Shillzz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 True. I just think that against Chelsea atleast, we're going to need someone big and strong to lump it to when the ball is cleared from the defense. A big game might be just what Carew needs to get himself back into form, should Heskey be unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defence looks very, very solid. Gabby would be perfect for this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaib2004 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We have had a few strikers come into the side with an attitude problem and we have seen what has happened there. It is obvious Fonz has talent as he has shown in the glimpses for Villa and Under 21's maybe they are trying to knock the attitude out of him before he becomes first team unlike the others.

WorldClass Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 There's nothing wrong with thinking your a good player. Most good player have high opinions of them selves on the pitch. But the real difference is their attitude toward developing as a player, look at someone like Gabby, who isn't blessed with amazing skills, his main attribute was blistering pace, but he's trained hard and have developed lots as a player in the last 3 or so seasons... Delfouneso perhaps needs to prove he's worth a chance by getting his head down, but then he also needs to be given a chance when he's done well.... He did phenominally well in the reserves for MoN but MoN just refused to give him that little bit of pitch time to keep him moving in the right direction. Of course a player will get fustrated and demorlised when he see's out of form players like Carew and Heskey coming on ahead of him when he's done nothing but score goals when he's played in the reserves, international level and in hios few appearances for the first team...

Danny_Villaman84 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i think fonz need games, leeds or QPR, cadriff (club with creative midfield) will help pump his confidence, or simply our system. maybe send him spain or france, germany, italy high level (low or medium table club) maybe make learn new skill and challenges. or... we need bring veteran striker to mentor him to point out, any GH who know he know...

jonno_2004 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Fonz has shown fantastic ability at times but the last few games I've seen him he's had the touch of a rapist. I really think he could come on to become the complete forward as he has everything in his locker. I remember someone posting that MON's plan was Agbonlahor in a target man role and the Fonz in and around him; I hope we get to see that at some point.

dudevillaisnice Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 MON was probably the only one who probably believed in him imo, He had games under MON he hasn't played since the closed door friendly against birmingham i think ... KMac didn't choose him for whatever reason, Houllier for Fonz is his career make or break can go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
