What would you have said was a fair fee for him/do you see him being sold for double that in the future? I'd take half a bag of bacon bites for him. Seriously though we'll never get any return on him because he's terrible and won't move for any notable amounts of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Another players picked out of that big bag of "highly rated young players that we beat lots of other clubs to signing" who turns out to be utter shite and an abject failure. Keep them coming Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This happens a lot at bigger clubs. We signed one "wonderkid" and it didn't work out. Chelsea signed 10 "wonderkids" and 1 maybe makes their XI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 There goes our 50% sell on clause. He is being let go after a disaster of a season, just a handful of appearances. Well and truly finished now I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Vlaar-Okore was our center back pairing for a while. Those two were made of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 His asset was his pace but his injury at the start killed that if honest. He did Ok with Clark for a while but for me a bit of a wasted talent I still dont believe the crap last season Black spouted for the reason is Black was a rocket polisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've answered your own question. I think you've also gone over the top. He looked good, I had high hopes that he could be a very good player for us.

Wainy316 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 File next to Amavi. Promising careers ruined by cruciate ligament injuries. Could have been two fantastic signings for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider his age, and he looked like one of the bets cbs we had signed in years I don't think that is over the top at all. The injury ruined him unfortunately.

Okore was a target for the Stamford Bridge outfit in January after impressing against them for FC Nordsjaelland in the Champions League group stages. But the 20-year-old Denmark international decided against joining Chelsea because he feared that his first team opportunities would be severely limited. Instead Okore has joined Villa in a £4 million deal to boost his chances of regular football in the English top flight. “I have a good feeling it was the right decision to turn down Chelsea,” said Okore. “I feel that I have arrived at a club that believes in me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
