jacketspuds Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I would offer him to MON for 1.5m. They have no fit fullbacks and the winger they play at LB is desperate to leave. He'll be gone soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good. He doesn't seem that bothered either, good riddance. was one of only few players that looked interested at end of last season Agree. Some of the criticism is unwarranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some of the criticism is a bit harsh but he should get no points for efforf anymore. Ability wise he is poor and needs to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I disagree - he does have ability and has played very well for us in the past but he seriously lacks consistency and when he's bad, he's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Somewhere deep down there is ability that we have seen. However, he will never regain it at villa as his confidence is shot to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is spot on, he'll never regain his confidence whilst he's a Villa player. He's not a bad player, nowhere near as bad as some claim, and those that are quick to slate him can't offer praise when it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not so bad but clearly doesn't fit...maybe a clash of character with someone...might explain a few things. He is a good player, nothing more, sad to see him go but glad if it's a harmony issue, he doesn't have the ability to be arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 gets caught out of position too often. not sure how you can reconcile that as acceptable. perhaps that's why we are where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Read on the mail website that we are offering Warnock plus 2.5m to Blackburn for Martin Olsson. Would be great if accepted and if it's true that is. Edit: just seen the dedicated topic to said offer, that teaches me for not reading properly :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Some of the criticism is a bit harsh but he should get no points for efforf anymore. Ability wise he is poor and needs to be replaced. nobody is saying he isnt poor and im not a fan of his ability myself but people saying he is making no effort and deliberately scoring Own Goals is talking rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've always thought he was a busy, industrious kind of player, with the capacity to pull one great tackle out of the locker every now and again. But, for me, his judgement seems to have gone west and you almost wait for the inevitable free-kick, whch HAS cost us goals and games. I don't know the reason for that, because players simply don't become crap overnight. But, if he is'nt up to the job anymore, then he needs to go and the money provided for someone who can.

Swerbs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 He was good until he got that back injury, then he seemed to lose all confidence and worsened each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Seems both the full-backs we want rid of have never came back from their individual injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2012 Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert makes Stephen Warnock train with reserves Stephen Warnock has been told to train with Aston Villa’s reserves as Paul Lambert steps up his attempts to sell the England international. Warnock is free to leave Villa before the transfer window closes and has suffered further humiliation just two years after he travelled to the World Cup as part of Fabio Capello’s England squad. Lambert, the Aston Villa manager, wants the defender’s £40,000-a-week wages off the books and has made him train with the club’s youngsters this week, telling Warnock he made his decision because he wants to freshen up the squad. Gérard Houllier condemned Warnock to the same treatment during his spell at Villa Park and Lambert is keen to agree a deal before the window shuts next week. Villa have already inquired about Ipswich Town’s Aaron Cresswell as a potential replacement. Sunderland and Blackburn have expressed an interest in signing Warnock, who has two England caps, in the past few weeks. Martin O’Neill, the Sunderland manager, signed him at Villa for £8 million from Rovers in 2009 and is keen to recruit a new left-back after Kieran Richardson made it clear he wants to leave. Warnock had an impressive first season at Villa under O’Neill and was even regarded as a genuine rival to Ashley Cole for the left-back spot with England. O’Neill is expected to make a move next week. Warnock’s former club, Blackburn, are also monitoring developments and want to strike a loan deal but are under pressure to sell Martin Olsson, the Sweden international, before progressing with a move. Villa are still yet to receive any concrete offers and would prefer to offload the 30 year-old permanently but would settle for a loan arrangement if a club can agree to take on a proportion of his wages. Scotland international Alan Hutton is also surplus to requirements under Lambert, just a year after his £4million arrival from Spurs. Hutton was left at home during Villa’s pre-season tour of the United States and has been told he can go but his wages are also expected to be prohibitive. Warnock and Hutton were both left out of the squad for Villa’s game at West Ham last weekend and are both set to receive the same fate for the game against Everton on Saturday.

Papillon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This "he doesn't become a crap player overnight" nonsense keeps coming up time and time again. He was never good enough - fact. Just about everyone on here were very happy when we signed him a few years ago, fact. So hindsight is bitch of course. He is quite poor now I would agree, but Martin Olsson is certainly lightyears above him. He would be a new signing and everyone have hope in new players, but he is hardly a huge step in the right direction if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
