Stevo985 Posted January 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2013 Don't you just love VT. Lets be honest 99% have never heard of him so we do not know whether he will be any good and yet a good proportion are writing him off having never seen him play for Villa. That's VT all over. Even good players get written off before anyone's seen them play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2013 I trust Houllier's judgement on this because he was right about Fofana when he was in LIgue 2 as well. And Cabaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We need him to be very, very good. - Its a glimmer to cling to..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I wonder if Houllier is keen to be our next European Scout ? - Although his record is very hit and miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Why have we waited til the last day ?? We are now 2nd from bottom and staring into the abyss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Why have we waited til the last day ?? We are now 2nd from bottom and staring into the abyss Because we wanted Sissoko. Too little too late? What's the point in looking back? What's done is done, we are where we are. Onwards we march, into the abyss perhaps, but there's nothing we can do about it now.

Jon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Should do well in the championship. A player with wage reduction in mind. Could prove to be a very useful signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Id given up before we signed this guy, another CB and perhaps we could at least make a fight of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 True, then there was that guy, what was his name? Oh, yes, Makoun... There's a good player in Makoun, no doubt. He just didn't want to make it work in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Don't you just love VT. Lets be honest 99% have never heard of him so we do not know whether he will be any good and yet a good proportion are writing him off having never seen him play for Villa. Are these the same posters who complained bitterly about MON signing expensive (known) British players whilst other clubs unearthed unknown'gems' from foreign clubs? Give the bloke a chance FFS. If Houllier rates him that is a decent enough start for me. It's like 2 or 3 people who have kind of written him off. I don't think that's a good proportion.

Villarocker Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think that those doubting this lad will some come around to the idea once they realise it's this him or Barry Bannan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Has he actually signed on the dotted line Nah the club want to milk it for all its worth.....as soon as he is signed, we will all be clamouring for a new CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 True, then there was that guy, what was his name? Oh, yes, Makoun... Yep. I made a big deal of the Vlaar/Collins thing in the summer and it was obvious right there that Lambert wasn't going to be fully backed by the owner. It's still the same it seems. What about his opinion on Makoun? I fail to see how Makoun is relevant. Not that he is a bad player by any means (I personally rate him), just not right for Aston Villa at this point in time.

Villarocker Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I just had a look at his clubs stats this season. They are 2 points above the relegation zone, meaning he has left a relegation threatened French Championship level club to join a relegation threatened Premier League club. Clermont have shipped 26 goals in the 19 games he has played - winning 5, drawing 5 and losing 9. I doubt that he knows what he's letting himself in for to be honest. I just hope for his and our sakes that he hits the ground running and turns out to be good enough to mix it amongst the Premier League's attacking midfielders.

Guest av1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Like most on here I cant say I know anything about the guy, and obviously coming from ligue 1 will be a big step up. However from reading a little bit about him he certanly fits in with what we have been crying out for, big strong dm.Good luck fella and welcome (should this indeed go through) to Aston Villa.
