Yes, we missed a trick there with the chance to pair up the world beating central midfield pairing of Gary and Bacuna. Playing those 2 behind Kozak and there would have been no stopping us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been watching them so I don't know. The stats are supportive of it to a degree and I rated him higher than others did last season so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is playing a significant role.

I think lower championship is his level despite the promise he showed at a younger age. Our Academy is producing players that can have admirable careers in the top 3 divisions of English football. Where he's got to is no disgrace in my opinion as English footballers are competing with the best in the world for pro contracts here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 For all his so called potential he has never done it at Villa and never will despite all the chances he has had. A good League 1 player at best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Sell him and just make sure we add a sell on clause just in case. But for me his career is over, only way he would ever play is if we don’t go up and have to sell everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 As others have said, lower Championship ishis level. Which is still pretty good, all things considered! Better than 95% of professional footballers, but unfortunately not good enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
