omariqy Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I heard a few weeks ago that he along with a few others had been told to find new clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2016 He's only got one person to blame and that's himself. He's always been a limited footballer but at least when he was motivated he offered something. The last couple of seasons he's just been a disruptive waste of a shirt. I think he'll look back in the future and realise he should have done more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have him training on his own, unless the intention is for him to be forced to watch a group of players who are dedicated, motivated and want to fight for the shirt. Still, I don't want him anywhere near the team or the club. If we cannot sell him and he is not willing to find himself another club then I would put him on gardening leave. His disruptive influence and antics last season coupled with his general lack of footballing ability is it for me, I don't care how much he has tried in pre-season, the damage is done, and we cannot risk having him affect the dressing room this season. I thought about forcing him to come to training daily when no-one else is around, but that will keep him relatively fit at our expense. If he is on gardening leave then it will be much harder for him to get another contract when his eventually runs out and might motivate him (or his agent) to find him a move away.

Delphinho123 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Gabby, Lescott, Bacuna and Richards all need to go. Asap. I just want to forget about 15/16 as quickly as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) I just cant let myself believe he'll actually go. Would be the best thing to happen around here for years. Edited August 4, 2016 by VILLAMARV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He could have been great, a villa legend he really could have. He could have bee a England international, a national hero. But nope he let himself live on past glories, got out of shape and was more interested in the women, cars, partying and getting fat. Will be remembered as the man who came from the academy showed potential in flashes then became lazy, bad attitude and contributed to our relegation before going to the states or arab team and forgotten about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect your absolutely kidding yourself if you believe he could have become a villa/ England hero- the guy without question in my opinion is one of the least talented footballers to pull on our great shirt. one asset and that was an ability to run in a straight line very fast- again in my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought of him as a sprinter who "plays" football. I don't accept this local lad/he scores against sha legendary status. Not for 60k a week. It's all been said on this thread about him really. He won't be on the after dinner speakers' circuit and he won't be a TV pundit after he retires. Perhaps the money will run out and he'll regret being a lazy bastard; perhaps not. I just want him gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
