sne Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Judging from the picture he's in the US and the MLS is very possibly his next destination. Doubt it will be until after next season thou... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 23, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2015 No chance of him going to the MLS with a year left on his fat wages here. But ever since he signed he seems to have taken every opportunity he could to go to the U.S. Even McLeish who saw fit to waste a fortune on him questioned his attitude over one trip following injury. Personally he strikes me as being the sort of footballer that doesn't much care about the game, his career or what he achieves or otherwise. So long as he gets nice wages to do the stuff he wants with his pals that is enough for him. Worst thing is that was obvious before he signed him, he embodies all that I hate in a footballer and everything that has been wrong with this club these last 5 years, Personally I can't wait to see the back of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I really don't understand why so many fans on here presume we are looking to offload him. When fit he was practically ever present in the team. Sadly, Our Manager seems to rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 23, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2015 I agree we won't be off loading him this summer but I suspect Sherwood won't give him a new deal and I doubt he will hold a place in the side next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the manager who signed him for us had him all set to sign for blues until the player demanded more money at the last minute so blues pulled out McLeish should be asked why he signed this chump here.

I wasn't happy with the signing at the time and its got to stage where he gives me high blood pressure seeing him play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thought he was worth the risk (like Ireland) as we had lost Young and Downing within weeks so desperately needed some creativity but come nowhere near to producing what he was at Wigan or at times Newcastle. If Hull had stayed up I reckon Bruce might've come in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Surely he needs to do something this season otherwise he won't get many offers from clubs next summer when he's on a free. Unless he really is going to the MLS on a jolly at 30. Prick. Couldn't think of anything worse than being paid shit loads of money to play football, sorry soccer, in America. Think I will stick to my office job thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I thought he played well towards the end of the season. Sadly like the rest of them he lost form at the final hurdle. I'm happy to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 24, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2015 A handful of half decent performances won't convince me he's worth keeping. If we can move him on this summer then I'd be delighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when you have designated players like Keane, Giovinco, Villa, Kaka what team is going to sign up this chump. He would be on a Reo-Coker $150k a year deal.
