briny_ear Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So what? He was consistently shite for Villa (apart of course for the legendary game against Man U when his superb passing game spearheaded our 1-3 defeat). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 This is the Jean Makoun thread. A piece of information on Jean Makoun was posted. How does it warrant that response? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would have Makoun than Westwood in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would have Makoun than Westwood in the squad Problem is that Makoun activley doesn't want to play for Aston Villa. Hence his no show at pre season training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentingthereslowly Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Problem is that Makoun activley doesn't want to play for Aston Villa. Hence his no show at pre season training. His no show?? Was his problem not work permit related or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted October 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2012 His no show?? Was his problem not work permit related or something? It does not take 4 months to learn English to a standard to get a work permit. It takes a week, maximum. Any work permit issues were of his own making. Caros Tevez passed the test, that should tell you how hard it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It's Michael Bradley rather than this guy that I would like us to have kept. Bradley only played a couple of times for us and was pretty poor in the few mins he got (esp the cup game against Man City) but he is actually quite a useful player and our squad is crying out for a defensive mid. I don't think J2M would have added a great deal to us as he is older and seemed to really struggle to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Fair enough, to be honest I've never had to get a work permit and wasn't aware what was required. The very basic one only really covers that you will be contributing to society (ie. you have a job and will be paying tax etc.. which he could easily prove as he's on a contract for thousands a week) and that you can speak English well enough to mix with society, understand road signs, be able to communicate with police, etc.. which is really incredibly basic; knowing key words and very basic sentences. For him to fail that he must have made absolutely no effort at all to learn English. So I think it's safe to say he didn't want to play for us.
