Jimzk5 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 for the money he's raked in 100% effort is the minimum we should expect from him, total waste of time and money, good riddance. this. thanks for the winner against wolves, though. the paper said he had scored 1 goal for villa in the prem this season? when was this?

GarethRDR Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 ^My favourite bit about that goal is that he still managed to fall over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 as a theoretical exercise only, if he agreed to a one year deal for say gbp20k per week, would people want him to stay? he doesn't have a contract or one on the horizon, so perhaps it would take very little to keep him around for another year, but on the other hand, he is the only big striker we have. at that price, he would be a squad player that would be cheaper than replacing him. just asking...

P3te Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 no whats the point in playing a shite striker out of position, even if you're paying him nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 the point in signing him up for another season would be to play him in position, as and when required... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 the point in signing him up for another season would be to play him in position, as and when required... he's been here 3 1/2 years and has rarely played in position, what makes you think we'd suddenly start now when he's older and worse than ever?

BigVillain89 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Has a good work ethic and always gave 100%. Everything else about his game was shit though. shall not be too sad to see him go, but what worries me is who McLeish will bring in as a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 my concern, and its been pretty apparent to me in the last few games is that we don't have anyone with a large presence to hold up the ball for our other attacking players to play off... its an option we've always had, and fortunately the role was performed by big JC for the last few years, but with both him and heskey gone, we are relying on playing on the ground and getting behind defences, something that we have proven woefully inept at adapting to this year. i'm not saying for a second that i think that emile should stay. i'm just concerned that without him, we look awfully small up front.

TrentVilla Posted May 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think it shows how shite a player has been when people eager to offer something positive about them comment on their work ethic and their percentage of effort. That is really scrapping the barrel because those things are the absolute bare minimum that should be expected and given by any professional footballer, they do not deserve any credit for that. I'm not even entirely convinced he has achieved this to be honest as throughout his time hear he has seemingly been made of glass, constantly on the floor and often out injured when looking at the size of the fella you would think he would be a little more robust. I don't think there is much doubt that Heskey is a good pro, no trouble in the dressing room or on the training ground but in terms of his playing ability he has offered us almost nothing in return for the millions we've paid him. One of the worst signings we've made in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Would be a kinda fitting way to go out for him His gesture when he left to join Liverpool shouldn't be forgotten so he should be given a good reception by their fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
