He played at VP (and got sent off for Burnley) as recently as May 2022 so wonder if anyone has gone from playing in prem to semi pro in just 18 months (who isn't about 38)? Which club does Joe Bennett play for now as I always link Lowton and Bennett together given they signed in the same summer, both did fine after leaving us.

None; he was let go by Wigan in the summer and is now a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man splits up with wife, doesn't see his kids and tells his gaffer he's struggling with depression and the drink and the gaffer fines him two weeks wages and tells the press he didn't report for training. Way to treat a person and a 12m asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Stephen Warnock has mentioned on 5Live just that he wasn't good enough for Liverpool, but was good enough to play for Villa, so that's OK with him. Shame it was less OK for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 There's a reason you never hear about successful clubs having a 'bomb squad'; even when clubs do in practice have something similar they have better sense than to talk about their own assets in such a devaluing way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made little to no impact and looked like an old man playing with kids. Always liked him when he was with us but he’s been rather anonymous since then.

VillaChris Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 His missus is from Solihull I think so guess it's one of those get into your 30s (I still have him down as a promising 22 year old!) and find a local team to save time on the commute and spend more time with the family. Don't think he gets in their starting 11 with Diangana back on form lately but he'll be a decent option off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Had a fair few uneventful years when he left at Derby but carved out a great career for himself. Second striker born in the wrong decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame he’s signed for Sandwell Town, I’ve always wanted him to be be successful wherever he played with the exception of the Dingles and now Sandwell Town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second striker born in the wrong decade. He came through as CF for us and then settled nicely into the wide position in 12/13 and showed great potential. Then bumper contract and no real desire (from both sides) to improve really. That was a huge issue in the Lambert era. He did a job out wide with his workrate and that was enough. Main issue stopping him progressing was his technique was very average. How often would we have a decent counter and he'd fire a 100mph ball at Gabby or Benteke and it would just go out of play? That's where working with a Emery type manager at that stage of his career would've done wonders as he'd have been working night and day at Bodymoor to get Andi improving that aspect of his game. He was a decent finisher so no reason he couldn't have had an Ollie type career in premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
