If we replace him with a much cheaper less known cb who is adequate in the championship, I defiantly won't be reminiscing about the awkward performances this guy has dished up time after time. Much cheaper and less known than Okore? He was already one of Lambert's bargian basement buys from the Danish league. We will be scouting the non-league pyramid to go much cheaper and less 'well known'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse CBs in the football pyramid than Okore, Clark being 1 example right here at this club. When Okore leaves and we are playing in the Championship we won't be attracting one of the better ones. Remind us again where Vlaar ended up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 We are obviously worse off without the likes of benteke and vlaar but it's not as if we can look back to them days and think. Wow, how good were they. I certainly don't miss scraping survival with the likes of benteke and vlaar. What I miss, is 11 players fighting for the cause week in week out. I miss a team that's competitive week in week out. We haven't had it for years and we certainly haven't had it whilst jores Okore has been here.

Won't be missed for me-People need to get the Godforsaken YT video out of their minds and see the real Okore I don't base my analysis on a **** YouTube video, wind your neck in.

momo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Okore is a talented player. If he has greater ambitions than playing in the Championship, then good for him. If all the players at Villa had ambitions of playing at a higher level, the team would probably have been a bit higher up the table. I find Okore's statements refreshing. Unlike many of the players at the club, he doesn't feel like he has made it, and so always are looking to improve and better himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always a big defender of Vlaar but we're not missing 14/15 Vlaar - he was injured even more than usual and when he did play he was poor most of the time. I agree on Okore though.

We've got shit players and we've got shit players who think they are better than they are and deserve to be in a better place. Okore, Richards and Gana seem like these sort to me. It doesn't help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you are confusing players who think they better than they are, and players who aspire to be better. Saying that you want to play in the Champions League is nothing you should be put down for saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing might not have been right, but the club did not offer him a new contract, so he is obviously looking at his options, even if he should not have made it public.

heffoman Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 James Collins might not be great but you hardly ever saw him give less than 100%. Sad how far we ve fallen when we pine for the likes of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Look away from his ability for a second it's his commitment and attitude that is very questionable ducking is one of the worst offences in football in my opinion, nobody and I mean nobody should duck at a professional level. Shows a real lack of commitment and fight. I don't want players like that at this club despite how average/good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Such an awful time to give that interview. Definitely a reason that he lost focus in the Liverpool game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
