vandaq Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not really. There was not much, there was like 5-6 longshots that was shown mostly. But yes, his shooting was far worse than I expected but as a player none of us had a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Yep, Tonev is a comedy act. I think PL relied far too heavily on Petrov's recommendation rather than his own assessment. Yeah, for me this is a worry in itself. I wouldn't ask a player to recommend me somebody to purchase on Football Manager, let alone in real life. Even then I'd at least send my in-game scouts out rather than jump onto Youtube to see some video clips.

jasoncb Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I've never seen him pass so not sure if he's any good at it, I assume he's not though. He dribbles like he's wearing concrete boots and his long shots are just awful. Not premiership class at the moment, may need time to adjust who knows but we don't have time if we get pulled into another relegation battle.

samjp26 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm not against giving him a chance and I still think he could do with some more game time, I also think there is 'something' there - I just don't really know what it is. Weird signing though based on what we have seen I'll admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 There is not much to go on apart from the name Aleksander Tonev sounds like he could be a good player . Which i think Lambert has done :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw_nuff Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Think this just proves the theory that ANYONE can look good on a youtube video. I'll give you a million quid if you can do that with me...... or Carlton Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) If he doesn't look good v the blades in a few weeks then there is no hope for him. So far looks way out of his depth. But is still his 1st season so maybe, maybe, he will come good. Edited December 21, 2013 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He had shown some signs of improvement, not necessarily in terms of his ball control/shooting but in his overall contribution to the team and adding some balance to the formation etc. Last few games have been a step backwards.

GENTLEMAN Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I haven't seen a player this bad in a Villa shirt in ages. Until the next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The last player I can remember being so shit in his first year was another bulgarian. Now I'm not saying the boy with have the same impact as his predecessor but let's not write him off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I remember similar tripe for other players. Tonev will improve in time and contribute to our longer term success. It is reactionary crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted December 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2013 I always support him when he plays, and would never boo him or any other player we have. However, on an internet site, which I hope no player reads, I may dislike one of our players, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you seem to take an exceptional interest in legitimate posts criticising his defensive ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
