chappy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What kind of odds do people reckon I could get on him to score 25+ goals in all comps/20+ in the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_Tony_Daley Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Think it's between Bent and Albrighton as to who'll be sold next Summer. I think this fun game deserves a thread of its own! I'll go for..... Delph and N'Zogbia (an outside chance hehe) Im with you there, cant help but feel n'zogbia is a 'double your money investment' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think he will struggle to score with the clear lack of service he is getting.. throughout pre season he also had no service at all, I actually feel sorry for him.. imo he will be off in Jan or the summer. I hope i'm wrong and McLeish sorts it out but I won't hold my breath.. we need proper wingers who can give deliveries into the box, Bent shouldn't be playing with the likes of 33 (nearly 34) year old Heskey.

theunderstudy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It would help if we tried playing with **** wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 How can he be off in January or next summer when he'll have 4 years left on a contract? A team would have to pay us about £30m for him, that's if he ever wanted to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 1 chance 1 goal yesterday, albeit it was offside but that is all he needs in a game to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This clearly needs sorting quickly. I dont want Darren to get pissed with the team after all he has done for us. We did not set up to use him effectively yesterday, if this is the team McLiesh wants to play I seriously doubt our effectiveness of scoring goals.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Three times he was put through on goal yesterday, twice he was offside and the other he took a heavy touch and had to pull the ball back. Service may have been limited, but it was existent. We'll get better and he will score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He must feel a bit of an idiot at the moment. Leaving Sunderland for clearly a sideways move and talking about playing with quality service which has just left for better things. I would also imagine he's a bit worried about his england place for next summer. I doubt fabio will visit villa park as much and playing in a worse team than last year will not help his confidence or goal scoring. If he starts to struggle I worry what his attitude will be like come January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamLL Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hopefully the thought of his England place will encourage him to 20+ goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 DB's big problem is that we have removed two vital supply lines during the summer. AY for all of those who disliked him, has the second most assists in the Premiership over the last five years, second nly to Fabregas. He is going to take some replacing, and I'm not sure we will find someone who is as good as he was for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bit of a rant... It's ridiculous and pathetic to the extreme. We get the 20 goal a year guy we have been looking for since Withe. We get him and decide to feed ManU and Liverpool with the ammunition he needs to get the 20 goals. Anyone see how Downing and Young did over the weekend ? They did rather well, what a surprise. /Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Young agree looks very good, but Downing!? What the **** did he do, hit the bar! We need another winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Downing played well apparently and was their biggest threat. We do need another winger though. Don't think we will see one mind. I'd even take SWP on loan, that desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We get him and decide to feed ManU and Liverpool with the ammunition he needs to get the 20 goals. Rant reply - not sure it was our decision! Whilst I am not particularly happy with RL and Fatty Faulkner on a number of fronts, even I don't think we can blame them for this.

Rob182 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Being chosen to captain Villa against Derby was a massive moment. It is always nice to lead the team and skipper any side but to be captain of a huge club like Villa was incredible. Even though it was just a pre-season friendly it was still a true honour. I got to feel the buzz that Stan gets to experience every week. Hopefully I will get a chance to be captain again sometime in the future. I'd love that. If the opportunity came up in the future, I'd jump at the chance. I was full-time captain at Charlton for seven months and I loved every minute of it. People always ask players 'what sort of skipper are you?' I am a 'lead by example' captain. I am a not a shouter. There's no point bawling at everyone. Stan's a brilliant captain. He talks to the younger lads and he talks to the older pros. He's superb. He's a really, really good captain. Villa have had some superb captains over the years. Looking back, Villa have had Olof Mellberg, Gareth Barry, Gareth Southgate, European Cup skipper Dennis Mortimer and Johnny Dixon who lifted the FA Cup. If the chance came around again, even for one game like Derby, I'd be delighted. To captain this great football club was amazing! DB for captain!
