CI Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 where are the squad numbersThe player profiles section at the top of every VillaTalk page Thanks, I see we've kept 4 & 8 free for Parker & Long respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I don't rate Collins, he makes basic defending errors and is quite slow, especially problematic if your partner has the turning circle of an oil tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Whats with all the Hollywood balls from Collins too ? I'm sure in his head he thinks he's a classy centre half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Dunne is a good defender, he always has been and I think we will see the best of him next season. On the other hand I simply don't rate Collins, there's no consistency about him, he's either brilliant or dreadful and often it's the latter. The guy is full of heart and is brilliant in the air but he doesn't have a footballers brain. It drives me mad the amount of times he's out of position.

bose Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 6, eh? Expect him to attempt to engineer a move to Liverpool at the end of the season, then. One can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Don't rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steell Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think he's a good player. People were raving about him for the first few months he was here claiming he was an absolute bargain, similarly with Dunne. I can't see any reason why he can't play like that again, he's coming in to his prime and had an excellent game against Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Collins is shite, he's always out of position! I would prefer Cueller next to Dunne, Cueller reads the game well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think Collins is immense in some games, but not so good in others. Doesn't do zonal marking. Him & Dunne look to be improving under AM. Hope this continues. Only leaves No 4, No 8 to fill now then doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Dunne has carried Collins since he has came to the club and made him look decent at times. I wouldnt question his commitment but positioning is woeful. Watch him for Wales without Dunne adn he looks like League 2 defender at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 His long passes annoy me, always over hits them..never rated him when he was at west ham and didnt want him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 it'll be interesting if there was a poll on here asking whether people rated him or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlitobrigante Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 dont rate him at all, other that a purple patch when he signed he has been poor and a liability... poor reading of the game, slow, cumbersome, and shockingly poor in the air at times considering thats meant to be his strength... i will be seriously annoyed when Cuellar goes and this useless strip of ginger piss is still in the starting 11...

GeauxVilla Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 its scary the amount of player threads we have going on VT right now mostly full of pages and pages of posts of "dont rate him" I tend to agree with the sentiment on this one, Collins can be a beast an his day. However he overcommits way too often, leaving the rest of the defense seriously exposed. Also agree that his long passes out of the back tend to be very disappointing and he tries these way too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjenkins Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 How much did MON waste on CD's He did waste £15 on a Louise Redknapp album once, and there was the infamous 'Chaz & Dave' phase he went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 He might do okay this season because the style of play we're likely to take on but overall, he's still not great and we'll never move forward with a defensive player like this guy IMO.

Rich_D Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Better than Dunne, but that really is not saying much. Wears his heart on his sleeve which is a very good plus point, but being passionate doesn't win games or defend goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 3, 2011 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2011 its scary the amount of player threads we have going on VT right now mostly full of pages and pages of posts of "dont rate him" True. I almost regret reviving this topic so as to tell people about his new squad number. He was busy minding his own business on page 4 of the forum. Now he's back being slated again. Ho hum.
