I guess it was effort or consistency that held him back. His touch, skill, finishing, and ability to beat a player were exceptional when he seemed to be on the boil. But that just never seemed to happen quite often enough. Always said, combine his raw ability with Trez's effort and you end up with a Ronaldo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was caused by him being unfairly dismissed rather than being crap, though. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to Conor hourihane. scored as many Premier League goals for Villa than Grealish in fewer games, not to mention his Playoff final goal one of most important Villa wins in recent times He wasnt that great but absolute ridiculous to say he didnt do anything 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThunderPower_14 Posted August 1 Popular Post Share Posted August 1 We've gone up a level now, but I think it's pretty poor to disparage the efforts of the likes of El Ghazi and Hourihane for helping get us here. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players who pulled us out of the quicksand will be remembered longer and held in higher esteem than most of our Premier League players over the last 25 years. Not because they were amazing, top talents, but because they gave everything for Villa and achieved something amazing, as a team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and due to Dr Tony, we were possibly going to be in a pretty dire financial situation. Had those players not have got us promoted when they did, we could very easily have become what SHA are today. For that, AEG, Elmo, Hourihane, Whelan, Jedinak etc. will all be thought of fondly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
