The Fun Factory Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Wouldn't mind signing William Gallas for a season at all. Really? A past it footballer, doing the rounds for the last shillings at the fag end of his career. He will be going againist everything Lambert is planning for at Villa, a old player wanting a fat wage before he retires. No chance of Gallas at Villa. No chance at all. I'd rather risk it with Clark and Baker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It almost makes me physically sick - arguably three of our most promising prospects with horrendous knee injuries in Gardner, Delph and Okore. I give up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally welcome the signing of Gallas for a season. He might be way past his best, but he's still a step up from Clark and Baker.

samjp26 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm more worried about Okore's long term development than the 9 months we will be without him. An injury like this can ruin a lads career as we've seen many a time, Clark needs to step up now. No more silly mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up to be honest. True but after the efforts of our former stricken captain, you have to just to keep on fighting. Never give up. Okore will be back and I know the Villa faithful will cheer every kick when he comes on the pitch again in the claret and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up to be honest. This. Okore was/is a huge, huge prospect. A player we beat Chelsea for his signature, and a player who could be a beast in a few years time. But typical of Villa, something has to **** it up. I really hope that someone is planning a whole heap of good luck to shower on us one day, to make up for the shit of recent years.

villaguy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 What's the minimum and maximum that this may take him out of the side for, is 8/9 months an average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, has Lambert even bought a player over 30 yet, let alone 36? A established premiership player? No. A year in and you can tell he is a stubborn manager . He will not sign a Gallas type player to tide over 4 months of football. Another manager, it might possibly happen but no way under Lambert. No way.

Okore will be back and I know the Villa faithful will cheer every kick when he comes on the pitch again in the claret and blue. When Delph recovered and was playing again, I remember worrying every single time he went down to the ground. I'm not looking forward to the day that Delph, Gardner and Okore play together. I'll be a bag of nerves. I'd like to think that Gardner and Delph will have some good words to help him through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I also dread to think if our tosser of a physio worsened the injury by sending him back on - grounds for dismissal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You don't know that. Okore could have thought he was capable of playing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Lambert showed a lot of faith in Clark over the summer offering him a contract he scantly deserved. His faith will now be put to the test. A repeat of last season from Clark and it will go down as a monumental cock-up by Lambert. So far Clark has looked better it has to be said but he has a way to go before regaining full confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomaspg Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 clark has looked solid from what ive seen so far this season and to be fair i though baker was doing alright too, not a worldbeater by any means but still useable. im still hoping ill wake up tomorrow to find out this was just a massive joke gone wrong and okore is actually fine training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 In a way, this is the break Baker needed and to be fair to Clark he looks like he's improved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I was really looking forward to seeing Okore grow into our rock at centre back this season. The lad must be gutted to have a season ending injury, especially so early in his Villa career. Let's hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. As for the other 3 centre backs, the thought of going the season with 2 of those 3 at CB fills me with fear. Baker and Vlaar will suffer their fair share of injuries. I am convinced now that at some point we'll see a back four of Luna, Clark, Lowton & Bacuna and that would give me nightmare's. I fear where we will end up if Benteke gets injured for any amount of time. I thought at the start of the season that we needed to sign 2 new centre backs and this bad news has just confirmed that.

AvfcTheObsession Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'd like to see Gallas come in on a short Term deal. Although have we already registered 25 Players meaning no can do until January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
