Hard working - and that buys you time with fans - but rarely showed any football nous. I had such high hopes when he arrived on the back of an AFCON where he was described as having outperformed Salah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 He was dreadful but inoffensive before Brentford. He is dread and offensive post Brentford. Get. Him. Out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw AEG has a buy clause at £8.6m, which doesn't correlate with our supposed £15m valuation, unless they paid a £6m loan fee? I would say we wanted £15mil but would have accepted around £12mil so assume the buy clause + Loan fee comes up to our valuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Listening to Gerrard today it sounds like Trezeguet is looking for a move as he cannot be guaranteed minutes with Villa. Seems like the best for all concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've never felt more torn on a player. On the hand he singlehandedly scored the goals to keep us up. Earn us 100m yearly for what appears to be the long haul. It's quite a mark he made and will never forgot those goals against Palace and Arsenal. On the other hand I think he's one of the worst footballers I've ever seen represent us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I Like how Gerrard was respectful but honest by basically saying "Trez is coming back from a long injury, we have spoken about what he needs, he needs games, he could find that challenging here so we will see what lands (in terms of a loan or transfer)".

There have been times where he just looks like a rabbit in the headlights and appears to have completely lost any footballing talent he ever had. So much so, it is almost comical. I think that there may be a real player in there somewhere but that the PL may just be too big for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so, it is almost comical. I think that there may be a real player in there somewhere but that the PL may just be too big for him? His positioning and hardworking are definitely good for PL. But even for a fullback you’ll expect more in terms of other qualities going forward. Now we can’t accept a striker that is only good in positioning let alone a winger. I think it’s the best timing for him to go. We’ll always remember his days with us, he’ll always be a hero that helped us staying up. Helped us going to the last Wembley trip. He’ll always remember us, we’ll always remember him. Time to move on. Not only for the sake of the club. But to keep the nice memories for all parties.
