The Fun Factory Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Meh. He is 24 not going to get any better, On his day a good player but that is not very often. If he thinks there is better offer on the table elsewhere fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The only thing that concerns me is that we gave Weimann a new contract when we thought we were going to lose him for nothing and then he had a stinker of a season. However, Alby was one of the few bright lights towards the end this season and much more effective than plenty of others in the squad. I would only give Alby a one to two year deal as he has it all to prove but I don't think he would take that. Also, if we do get taken over, he shouldn't be a player we base our future around. He just isn't good enough for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Not our best player but shocking nontheless. Baffling. They better get some **** players in this summer that can kick a ball. Actually pissed as I thought marc was a one of the few bright spots we had this year. Very one dimensional yes, but what the **** else we got like him at the moment?

Juju Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Whils't it's not earth shattering to release him, given we don't know what transfer budget our selling owner and failure manager will have, can we really afford to get rid of any of the "arguably" cheaper players in the squad when there's no guarantee of replacements? And is Lambert the right man to be making the decisions anyway - is he just a dead man walking? Is this a Faulkner brainwave - lets trim the squad, without having any sodding idea what is happening next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjacobjr Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lads Leicester offering him 35000 on a 4 yr deal no way should we match that for him he is an average player we got into this mess playing that and more for players like him average ones like beye reo Coker etc big wages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The only player that even looked like trying this year. It's an absolute farce, if we can't afford to pay his wages then I will be very very worried if we don't get taken over. Delph and Vlaar will be next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not the end of the world. Honest lad but not a world beater. Good luck to him and thanks for his efforts in claret and blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Wasn't worth £35k a week but a decent player. Wish him all the best for the future. Think he will have a career similar to Craig Gardner, staying at low-mid prem teams Edited May 20, 2014 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 On the one hand I'm not that fussed about losing a player I don't think is good enough. On the other hand I don't know if I need to be worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 April 25th. Lambert said: “Paul has spoken to his agent a couple of weeks back. Marc’s relaxed and he will be fine, he’ll be all right. It will get done.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villa-boss-paul-lambert-3457601 Not even a month later he has been released.

DeepDish Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not so fussed about missing out on the player. But the fact that we can not give him a decent contract (I'm sure he would have been happy with 30k a week at Villa) does not bode well for what is happening this summer.

samjp26 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) As I said before, he was never actually offered a contract at any stage, as far as I know Leicester will announce him joining them soon. My own opinion is that we should have offered him a contract before the season ended when he was back in the team, before there was any concrete interest in him. Instead, we waited and waited, telling him that we'll offer him a deal without ever following through. Another one bites the dust. I'd love to know how much money we've made back from sales in the last 3 or 4 years, compared to the amount of players that have actually left.
