Pilchard Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This is the main reason why i think a takeover has been in the pipeline for quite a while. There are a number of players who havent been offered new contracts. Why give Albrighton a new one if the new owners want to buy better quality? My thinking is similar. Perhaps it's hope, I dunno. But he's playing a part in our survival attempt but as it stands not here next season. Why hasn't he been offered a new contract yet? Well if there was something like that in the pipeline then contracts wouldn't be given until its sorted one what or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Made Shaw look bad in the second half! Still remember him out performing Young/Downing in their final season here...Think with the right coaching he could live up to the potential he was once thought to have.

mikeyp102 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Had a good game and did make a mug of shaw a few times. But at times his final ball was poor. As I've said before, a very good squad player, and where we are at the moment probably one of the better players, but if we want to be top six he wouldn't feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Worth another two years imo, no more as he could disappear again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2014 He played well in the second half, took Shaw on and had him on his back foot a few times. I do think he should be running into the box more with the ball rather than hitting hopeful balls into the 6 yard box, once he's in the box the defenders have to be really careful with him as he has a trick or two. He was easily our best attacking force yesterday, MOTM?......Vlar for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I felt angry watching match of the day this morning, Hansen and Shearer gushing over shaw's two little surges instead of the many times Albrighton took him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have a tenuous ITK that Marc is going to sign a new contract. Make of that what you will. He's a good lad and good to have around the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That might be but we'll have to keep some of our players otherwise we'd need to sign about twenty players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends weather we get sold or not.. No one will have new contracts until the new owner is in. If the rumour is true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm pleased he's getting a new contract, deserves it. Good player on his day and gives us something we don't have elsewhere in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 He's a real asset to have in the team and I hope he signs on. He's loyal, works hard and is pretty good at what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't have any explanation for what happened to him last season (except he's a new dad and maybe got too involved there), but he's definitely back. The number of people riding him when he had a dip in form was pretty disgraceful considering how good he'd been when he first broke into the team. I agree he's maybe not good enough if we're going to win the league, but as a sub for a team in the top 6 he definitely fits the bill. Brilliant player on his day. Not the quickest, but his vision is often properly awesome. If he could complete all the passes he sees we'd have no chance at all of keeping him if he wasn't a Villa fan.
