Robbie09 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Limited but committed player. Contributed towards what could turn out to be a defining season in our history if our owners are serious in their intentions. Thanks but time to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I think timing of his injury was instrumental to us going on winning run. Elmo should've played ahead of him all season in retrospect Edited May 28, 2019 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo should've played ahead of him all season in retrospect Definitely. Thinking back to his Hull days wasn't Elmo a RW? Would explain why he's so much better at crossing the ball. I'm sure Alan will get a contract from a championship team or back in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post avfc1982am Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2019 Leaves with my best wishes and blessings for a wonderful life. The passion and love for the club he has shown deserves nothing but good wishes. He'll know his time is up but what a season to end it with in claret and blue. Especially scoring one of the most iconic goals in recent Villa history. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what next season holds for him other than it won't be as the holder of a playing contract with us. He's very fit and I imagine he's got a good couple of years in him at Championship level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played RB in a back 4 and RWB in a 352 which is how Hull mostly played from memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be that guy but he's been playing his position for the best part of 20 years and he doesn't even understand that, he understands that less than a converting winger. Thanks Al, don't look back in anger and all that. I am glad the likes of him, Glenn and Jedi get to leave on a high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Alan, I have nothing but respect for his love for the club, application and desire since he has been here. Time to move on now Villa. Alan will play on somewhere else. My guess he will always have a soft spot for us, and limited ability aside I will always have a soft spot for him as a play during some really testing years at the club.

Players are now multi millionaires hence the need for them has deminished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
