heffoman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Which is silly because he was the best of a bad bunch in that game. He seems to be a scapegoat for fans and oddly managers alike for whatever reason. Lambert has done exactly the same cold shoulder treatment to the likes of, Hutton, Bent, Ireland, Warnock, Given Ect Disgusting and disgracful IMHO! Not the professional way to treat human beings. But arguably a very professional way to treat unprofessional professionals - with the exception of Given, there are some poor examples to our young pros on that list. hard to say they are unprofessionals though. As bad as Warnock and Hutton are ive never really felt was lack of effort but talent that cost them Especially Hutton. I ve never rated the guy but I dont think hes been anything other than professional. Just unfortunately not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2013 I don't think Lambert has given Given the cold shoulder either. He dropped him, but he deserved to be dropped and Guzan's deserved to keep his place. He played Given in all the cup games. How exactly is that giving him the cold shoulder? Certainly don't think you can class it as "disgusting and disgraceful"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Once they equalized, our midfield lacked sufficient creativity against Fulham to break down their stubborn defence, so maybe Ireland would've been an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Once they equalized, our midfield lacked sufficient creativity against Fulham to break down their stubborn defence, so maybe Ireland would've been an option? How many chances does he need? Personally, im sick of hearing about him. Lets just see his past as the yardstick it is, and wish him well at somewhere else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I personally don't think he'll put on a Villa shirt again. Never looks interested to me. In his whole career I think he's had one good season that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I would like us to move him on .Whether there is another team willing to take him is another thing. Maybe one of the newly promoted teams would gamble on him. Edited April 16, 2013 by adz.villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 what is he on 80k a week? for doing nothing its rediculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 He has the ability but unfortunately not the right attitude and with his wages i can only see him leaving on loan in the summer maybe to the french league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 he would probably play well for someone like west ham or fulham, hed thrive in london question is do we replace him or give gardner a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm sure we will want to get him off our payroll, but what other premiere league side will take unless he takes a 90% cut in wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted April 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm sure we will want to get him off our payroll, but what other premiere league side will take unless he takes a 90% cut in wages. Could we not just loan him out? Sure, we'd still be paying 90% of his wages.... ... but we'd be saving 10%! That's 8k per week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 How long has he got left on his contract? Cant be more than a year can it. The amount of money we have wasted on long-term contacts with new signings is ridiculous. That's why I don't blame Lerner. They should only give 4 year contracts to really good young players like Benteke and Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 For me, he's probably the biggest let down of a signing I can remember for a long time. I don't know exactly why it hasn't worked out although I'm sure a few injuries, not really having a run in the team and being played in several positions have added to it but whatever the reason I don't subscribe to the lazy or don't care tags he is given. I don't know of any trouble he's caused, I have heard and seen him training hard and on the pitch I don't see a player not putting effort in, its almost a perception that has now become reality. Shame really but he should be moved on as its just not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yes for me he's our worst ever signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Likely will end up in the MLS or if he is willing to take a pay cut, maybe he can go to the SPL or the russian league. He just isn't consistent enough for a top league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
