villaglint Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yep I'd keep him as a squad player and use him as a back up with Tonev to Gabby and Weimann in the wide roles. Would prefer to see someone with a bit more vision/passing ability in the AM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 injured himself on holiday according to Kendrick, unspecified return date. Will miss start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Kendrick reporting he has sustained an 'unspecified' injury on holiday and could be out for quite some time. Good way for him to quietly exit the club I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron87 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That injury will make it harder for him to move on, heard few French teams were taking a look at him. Thing with Zog is that he has a good game every 10, so 1 out of 10 isn't consistent enough he needs to be moved on or released hes on too much money and he has never recaptured the form he produced before he joined us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 they havent disclosed the injury but misses the start of the season could be significantly longer makes it sound like a ligament injury, looks like we're going to be stuck with him, best of the bad bunch to be fair though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Maybe he got cock rot from a cheap prozzie Edited June 20, 2013 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Maybe he got cock rot from a cheap prozzie If he were to have a medical with a view to transferring to another club is that something that could sneak under the radar?

HalfTimePost Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Looks like he'll still be here then, which is dissappointing, with his 60k a week wages I'd imagine selling him on could be crucial to signing another player in that CAM role that was kind of given to him last season. Hopefully just offing Ireland will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Are his wages really that high? I would imagine not since he only came from Wigan, who aren't exactly owned by some arab sheikhs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I never thought he was moving anyway. Good option from the bench, albeit an expensive one. Hope he's not out for too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't bring anything different, he has one good game in every ten he plays, enough is enough of these players sitting on a nice wedge not giving their all.Are his wages really that high? I would imagine not since he only came from Wigan, who aren't exactly owned by some arab sheikhs... He wasn't but I believe a few clubs were after him and at the time we signed him we were throwing big wages at players I'd expect him to be 50k+ easy mate.

VillaChris Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It wasn't an Andy Carroll style falling off a bar stool injury. CNZ is frustrating but he did o.k second half of the season without ever being an automatic pick. I think I'd hang onto him for a bit purely as he's good mates with Benteke so let's not starting selling his friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone know anything about the legalities of off-season shagging injuries? Like, do we still have to pay his wages? Insurance cover it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks1876 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 there maybe trouble ahead! If he broke his leg "could we shoot him?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I want him to stay but it seems like the guy is always on holiday, like literally every week. Fair play as I know he's earning serious money but it surely can't be helpful when you're an athlete. Hope he gets better fast but if he is to miss the start of the season then it must be something pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Never rated him - even at wigan - was against him signing. That said with all our youthful players I feel older heads are invaluable - so for me its more of a loss than it first seems. Thought he did ok back end of last season.
