Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 And the cult worshipping begins. Don't worry, you're not sounding boring at all. Sorry I'll try and be more entertaining. Wow what a legend!!! I'm getting makoun on my villa shirt, all my work shirts and any shirt I ever plan to wear on a night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 And the cult worshipping begins. I agree. Let's just dislike all of our players and only comment on them when they make a mistake during a football match People who like players Supporting the team Hoping for the best Football Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamus Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 And the cult worshipping begins. If O'Neill had signed him rather than Houllier you'd be worshipping him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 And the cult worshipping begins. Don't worry, you're not sounding boring at all. Sorry I'll try and be more entertaining. Wow what a legend!!! I'm getting makoun on my villa shirt, all my work shirts and any shirt I ever plan to wear on a night out. Heaven forbid people should enjoy one touch passing, or a silly video, or claim they want his name on the back, but those that do deserve to be mocked with a sarcastic exaggerated response.

bose Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've never got how some people (no one in particular) just seem to focus on the negatives surrounding a player in our team and never seem to appreciate if said player has a good game or does something well. Doesn't matter if it's Petrov, Heskey or Makoun. Fair enough if someone just doesn't rate them but it's a fact that some people will never see the good things these players do. It's pathetic and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larscapaldi Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Makoun in a music video, haven't got a clue what they're saying, but he wears his Villa top in the video and so do 2 others. Sergeant Makoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think as he was signed by Mr Houllier, some people may, sadly not accept him. He is certainly a good footballer. But I think he is the type of player who needs good players around him to get the best out of him. I'm not sure the players we currently have in the team are good enough to get the best out of him.

Well Bent has been taken on by one and all. I'm sure if he comes out firing this season fans will love him just like they will turn around if Big Eck wins his first few games. Us fans can be a fickle bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slovenian Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hmmm, based on my limited understanding of the french language (by limited i mean learnt from Eddie Izzard), from what i can gather, the song is actually about Makoun. How bizarre. yeah, they are thanking hime and supporting him, everything he does makes them happy, friends forever, something like that my french is not that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nothing to do with houllier, bent is one of my favourite players and I loved walker last season. I've also not said it's a bad thing, actually if you read my post I fully admit to being biased about John Carew for similar reasons. All I said originally was I think makoun will receive a lot of praise this year regardless of how he plays because of this cult status. It happens, people will always focus on the positives if it's someone you rate and the negatives if it's someone you don't. Houllier is a perfect example of this last season. Like I said, I didn't say it was a negative, just that I can see it happening this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides which, having a cult hero who can actually play a bit is exactly the type of thing we need no? Jean II Makoun, he can play a bit. Never any doubt in my mind.

briny_ear Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 At present, Makoun's footballing abilities exist largely in the imagination of his advocates. He has done very little with Villa to support any sort of conclusive analysis of his abilities: much of what he has done is actually negative (the bookings and sending off; Houllier's decision to drop him for the tough relegation struggle). That isn't to say he won't be good. I sincerely hope he will be, or we will have wasted £5m we seemingly can ill afford. It's just that he hasn't actually done anything yet to justify the status he is now being afforded and we have to wait to see how he will actually turn out in the real world.
