Tomaszk Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 He's floating there in case of an injury I'd imagine. If Chester got injured in training, he'd be signed the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to put the money in their boots! They would need helluva big boots these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 “He’s not had the match exposure that I would want. He’ll continue to train with us until I feel he’s up to the standard where we can make a decision one way or the other,” Sounds like we're going to keep our options open.

Mark Albrighton Posted December 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2018 It’s wouldn’t have ruined our finances if he hadn’t, but if this is true, fair play James. Hope you’re back to full fitness soon. Quote Smith later tabled a short-term deal worth around £10,000-a-week until the end of January to secure experience and cover at the back. But Mirror Sport understands Collins went out to train later that morning and promptly injured his calf. The star, frustrated with himself, then trooped back inside Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground and tore up the paperwork. But the star's actions could help him in 2019 when he returns to full fitness. Mirror link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted December 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2018 Its rare these days that players still have scruples about actually earning their money. Fair play Mr Collins, you are an inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 No problem with the money either, doesn't really matter if it is 50,000 or 200,000 in the grand scheme of things, Chances are he wouldn't play but having someone there who can step in "just in case" as cover for the 8 games between now & the end of Jan makes sense. Even getting Samba back in for a month may not be the worst idea in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted December 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2018 An honourable act by a modern footballer, now there’s a rare thing. Well done Mr Collins, get well soon and I hope you earn another contract when you’re fit again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Considering the way he behaved the last time he was under contract here it's at least a gesture towards repaying his lack of professionality. Fair dues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
