sexbelowsound Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The club have made some daft decisions but not offering Okore a new deal would be up there with the worst of them. We're not in a position to be giving up talented players for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okore for me would get a new contract as despite his injuries best CB we have. But whether he will sign thats a different question, I dont think he will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Yes, unless the physios at the club knows something we don't he should get a new contract Edit: Fully appreciate we are not in the best position to negotiate new contracts Edited January 18, 2016 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets injured again then it will be curtains for him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Surely our most underrated player on here. Every time he gets a run in the team our defence magically improves (remember aswell he didn't play in the Norwich or Sunderland defeats). An important player to keep and build around next season I'd argue. A defence with Okore and Amavi in it is a decent start anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He was like a giraffe on ice at times today and full of poor decision making and silly fouls he'll get better and I hope it's at villa but he isn't a top level player yet and I'd be happy with a new centre back coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I missed the first half, so perhaps he was a foal on rollerskates then, but second half he was excellent I thought, nothing went through him. I really rate him. It's not just a coincidence we concede far fewer goals with him in the team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you said he was great in the second, hands down a better CB than Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We defend better as a team now, he is the weakest element and teams will soon cotton on to it bombing balls straight from defence on to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Don't know if I'd include Southampton as an example of a good defensive performance, we could have been 3/4 down within the first 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He was excellent. If the referee wasn't so unbearably horrible he wouldn't be called bambi or w/e because they were all blatant fouls on him. He dealt with everything with a calm authority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that's very true but in the record books it just says one goal concede. Were Richards, Lescott and Clark all just ridiculously unlucky teams were incredibly clincial against them when we were conceding 3s and 4s.

Popular Post Zatman Posted February 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2016 top class and for me our best player, no coincidence his return has meant the defence is not the joke it once was. Get him a new deal 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
