MMFy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Didn't Villa release him because he had a Billy Big Bollocks attitude? And is Brentford really back on track? And isn't this in the Mirror? Ah, that figures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Only ever seen him play an hour's worth a football (against Basingstoke Town), and I can't remember whether or not he was gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Watched a few of their games, he's quality for them, think being sent there has given him the reality check he needed, you may have ability but you also need desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 £300k would be grand infairness, would be definitely playing under the right manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Uwe Rösler, the Brentford manager, is not known for letting players have the Billy Big Bollocks attitude. He is a tough really bad person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 For 300k you can't go wrong and if he is going to get a decent run to show what he can do then that's gravy... He was supposed to be very talented and with Lambert in charge he'd be under the best tutelage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I remember watching an SPL game between Kilmarnock (who he came on as sub for) and Rangers. Killy were 3-0 down or something similar, he came on and was the best player on the pitch, including the Rangers players. Think it finished 3-1 with Harry coming up with the assist. I thought then that he'd be good, and was shocked whe n we let him go. Although that's the only match I've seen him play in, so obviously it may have been a blip.

quizme Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 No brainer for me at that price. The talent was always there, maybe a spell at a lower league side has learnt him he has to work for it. Bring him on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think he'll take much convincing to come back! I work at the same place as his Mum, and by all accounts he was gutted we let him go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yet another former Villa player who wears 19 at his club. This is actually pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Think it was £1mil up front with another 500k depending on appearances goals etc. So if we buy him for £300,000 we have saved £200,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
