Ghost Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Stepped up his game for the national team definitely. Played some excellent defense splitting passes. Tired around the 70 minute mark. Still not sure if he has a future with us though. Edited June 4, 2013 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I suppose he could be on hefty wages too judging by McLeish's other "deals" Another reason to get shot I suppose Probably paying above what he's worth because we got him on a free. And obviously because McLeish did the deal. Yup could easily be on 30k a week which is a joke for his talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we have no idea of the true figure, but it's fun to pick a high number, imagine BH earning it, and then get worked up over it.

Zatman Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 he is probably on double his AZ salary which is at most 30k which for a Bosman is normal salary as no fee involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 he's certainly not the crap player that many of here make him out to be... work rate as always last night was phenomenal.... couple of cross field passes were quite brilliant, but i can't say that he bossed the game.... which is something that i could say for both honda and kagawa, who i thought were great... having said that, best on ground for me was the 35 year old, clubless, not match fit Lucas Neill..... which probably says it all...

KSV Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 not good enough. gary gardner will have a similar work rate. Work rates not enough. Expensive flop. Coming from an Aussie. I don't want him even in our national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted June 5, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2013 Holman gave a truly Holman-esque performance for Australia last night. His work-rate was exceptional, he intercepted plenty of balls, supported the forwards well and played some decent passes. However, he was also responsible for turning over a lot of ball mostly through his poor control and technique. This was in start contrast to his partner in midfield (Mark Bresciano), who had the bigger impact in our effective possession, moving the ball nicely and rarely conceding possession. I like Homan, yet he frustrates me at the same time. I'm not convinced he is right for Villa, as every performance seems to be a bit "Jekyll and Hyde".

legov Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Typical Holman game vs Japan. Pendulum swinging wildly between utter garbage and utter genius. One particular 40 yard through ball was spectacular. Is it true that Australia might not even qualify? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We have 2 Home games to go.....against the 2 bottom teams in the group, so although mathamaticly we could miss out, I can`t see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2013 He's not crap at all. He's not good enough to be a regular for us, imo. I think he lacks the technical ability to match his workrate. But that doesn't make him crap. I imagine he could make a very good living at Championship level or be a regular feature at a newly promoted club, possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Cant see him being on 30-40k as we signed him at a time of penny pinching and coming from AZ i doubt his wages were massive there. 25k max. He's not crap at all. He's not good enough to be a regular for us, imo. I think he lacks the technical ability to match his workrate. But that doesn't make him crap. I imagine he could make a very good living at Championship level or be a regular feature at a newly promoted club, possibly. A slightly better version of Reo-coker.

CI Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Another shocking McLeish signing. How much did that bloke cost the club? Easily £40m I reckon, probably more In wasted fees wages compo and taking about 8000 off the average gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily £40m I reckon, probably more In wasted fees wages compo and taking about 8000 off the average gate Ridiculous number. As of Holman, he's definitely not crap and he could even still be useful against certain teams, but he shouldn't be good enough next season to really warrant a place in any first 11.
