AvfcTheObsession Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 At 26 isn't going to improve and if we are aspiring to get up the table I don't think he's good enough as a starter. Sell for 1m-2m and take a small loss on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 How long left on his deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's the kind of player we should be keeping on the books IMO. Versatile, not on a huge contract, and has proven he can play in the league. While not a superstar or solid first choice, he's a good option to have off the bench and good cover.

lexicon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't rate him at all - not prem quality IMO. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's the kind of player we should be keeping on the books IMO. He is terrible, if he is the sort of player we should have on our books then we may as well give up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If your best selling point is that you're versatile, you're probably not good enough to play in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'll be sad to see him go. He has potential as a wing back imo: Very good crosses, though not much good at defending. Without Bacuna he'd be a decent enough backup, or someone to bring on when we're chasing the game. As it is, Bacuna is that player and a good one too.

myko Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Simply doesn't have enough physicality to get by in this league. Good ability but you need to have great ability if you're both slow and weak like Matty. Edited June 10, 2015 by myko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If your best selling point is that you're versatile, you're probably not good enough to play in the premier league. What kind of nonsense is this? James Milner's best selling point is being "versatile" and he's a cracking player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's not good enough for this level. A very poor defender and his attacking play isn't good enough to compensate for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If your best selling point is that you're versatile, you're probably not good enough to play in the premier league. Phil Neville made a decent career out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pullerson Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Decent enough player in my opinion. Wouldn't want either him or Bacuna as first choice RB though and I suppose we only need one as back up (I hope we sign a first team quality player this summer).

SeanO Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If he was quicker maybe but he's way to slow for the Premier League. Another player who should be shipped out ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I like him, but any progress he made towards the end of his first season seemed to evaporate with him being a bit of a plonker. He'd be a good signing for a team looking to get promoted, a bit like Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazvfc Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's the kind of player we should be keeping on the books IMO. He is terrible, if he is the sort of player we should have on our books then we may as well give up now It's a moot point but if it wasn't for him being in the right place at the right time (and of course a rush of blood to Fosters Head) then we'd not have beaten West Brom and it would have been a more of a squeaky bum time than it was and we'd probably not have gone on that run of wins as it would have deflated the team and more pressure - but each to their own - think myself there is something there - he does seem to have a great cross on him - remember that goal scored by Benteke I think. And that wonder strike against Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
