I'd had my doubts about him, but the last 7 or 8 months he was here he consistently looked our best and most committed player every time he managed to get on the pitch. Would do more in 20 minutes than the rest of the team managed over the whole 90, then wouldn't get on til the 85th minute the next week. Given how shit we were around then, I suspect lots who didn't particularly rate him as a world beater had come to the conclusion that he deserved a new contract. He clearly offered a lot more than the players he was competing with for a squad place. Whether it was Lambert being stubborn, Lerner refusing to cough up the funds or a combination of both, the whole thing stank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I was sad at the timing of the move too, would have been good to give him a reception at villa park if he came on or something. happened a week before we played them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJ_Villain Posted May 6 Popular Post Share Posted May 6 Got a lot of love for the bloke… Villa till he dies… Comes to support us when he isn’t working… Never wanted to leave in the first place but went and made history in the least likely way possible… Got shat on by the previous management when they promised him a contract that never came… but still turns up to support us… Doesnt need to go to the press to say how he doesn’t feel like he is welcome blah blah blah 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Looking at his career moves so far, it seems that he wants to stay in the Midlands. He couldn't end up at Blues, could he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he do what Young did in his second period at the club? for a minimum wage, he could be a useful backup, maybe while he tries to get his coaching badges.

useless Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Maybe Derby County would be a good fit, they seem to like our form players Hourihane, Collins, Blackett-Taylor, Chester, and Davies, have all played for them in the last two seasons, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post T-Dog Posted May 7 Popular Post Share Posted May 7 On 14/01/2012 at 19:30, kingeightyone said: Personally i hate him. Strong words i know but i really do! He is so average it is a joke how much some fans big him up. He is slow for a winger. He's crossing and corners are wayward most of the time and rarely a threat. The way i see it is we rave about these average youth players to make us less likely to doubt our average youth scheme. If albrighton played for bolton, fulham, sunderland even blues would villa fans really want us to spend money to buy him? Is he better than charlie z? No in my opinion. I know people will say he is young and will develop, if he is all that then he would be capable at any age. Good players can play and he cant. He is another moore brothers, vassell, whittington, osboune, byfield,c gardner the list goes on for average players we have produced! He shiuld be no where near our first team ever!

Davkaus Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I wonder if Marc has ever checked out what we think of him if I were him and I'd read that as an up and coming player, I'd be damn sure to come back a decade later to post a selfie of me wearing my premier league medal, but I'm a small, petty clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Maybe Wrexham will try and sign him, failed with Vardy, but Albrighton perhaps more realistic, he's probably still good enough for Championship, but if Wrexham build a team good enough to challenge for promotion would give him oppo to end on an high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
