hogso Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 If this is Heskey out, Holman in, no fee and (I assume) lower wages, how is this bad? Wow, really? Erm, OK, the Heskey out part ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 If this is Heskey out, Holman in, no fee and (I assume) lower wages, how is this bad? On the surface it isn't because at least he will work hard and give us a team outlet; perhaps we should be aiming higher but I do agree that it's nothing to really grumble about.

VillaRoy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 This signing doesn't bother me all to much, could work out well, but the small part that is bothering me is that he has been given a four year deal. So if he is a flop, and not many people are interested, he could be rotting on the bench or reserves until he is 32. We love to give out long contracts don't we?

TRO Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 .....is he another Michael Bradley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ha ha, TRO, you may just have raised the the :confused: :confused: point in my earlier post Arguments I particularly like are: He looks crap on Youtube :confused: He won't be any good because people said Bradley would be good and he wasn't :confused: :confused: An Ajax fan says he isn't much good :confused: :confused: :confused: Congrats to romavillan and VillaAlex who just watched him actually play a game and saw he was quite good in very difficult circumstances. FFS at least let's give him a chance to put on a C&B shirt before writing him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Bradley wasnt given anywhere near a fair crack of the whip here. We have never been good at blooding new players into the first team though. We always seem to leave them on the bench. Not because theyre not good enough but because the manager (whoever that may be) is scared to change the lineup from his usual 'tried and tested' formula. Bit of a shit way to do things bradley looked plain awful everytime he was on the pitch, and thats including playing for the reserves. needed to much time on the ball and didnt get stuck in. thats why he was **** off as soon as his loan ended.

Harry Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think I've finally grasped the point of this thread. It is clearly part of a bet to see if Villatalk can be reduced to a laughing stock in a few short pages. Arguments I particularly like are: He looks crap on Youtube :confused: He won't be any good because people said Bradley would be good and he wasn't :confused: :confused: An Ajax fan says he isn't much good :confused: :confused: :confused: Congrats to romavillan and VillaAlex who just watched him actually play a game and saw he was quite good in very difficult circumstances. You do realise you're putting the bet at risk, though, don't you? I could not have put it better myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when we don't sign players on long contracts fans complain about us never securing players for long enough. It's a hard to run a football club these days.

Stu_The_Villan Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think its fair to say hes gonna need to hit the ground running here. Judging by how impatient our fans are he will be instantly labelled as shit if he hasnt got a hat trick in his first 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 some people on here seriously need a wake up call. we've got an established international at his peak for free, and he will be on relatively low wages. the fact that people don't know who he is shows more ignorance of the game outside the UK, rather than the size of his profile (or ability). Throw in some appropriate capital letters :winkold: and the man makes a very valid point! Thanks brommy, no time for punctuation when ranting!! You forgot to mention that he has champions league experience as well. Not bad for $0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Can we rename the thread Holman Out please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAFC2000 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Remember Stuart Downing and Jame Milner. Those guys were immense in a Villa shirt but it took them at least a year to settle in to the team and for them to play there best football and that was playing every single game. It will take him time for sure. AM has to get the best out of him you cannot keep on chopping, changing and subbing players. It does nothing for there confindent there has got to be more loyalty shown to players. I now understand why MON never used to chop and change and made often subs....!

I hope he can hit the ground running - very fast, because it's looking like he will be pelted with rotten eggs as soon as he takes the field.

We don't want your scum at the mighty Villa." :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
