Grasshopper Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 This is without a doubt VT at its best senario 1. RDM looks to his left and sees SP doing everything humanly possible to deserve a shirt. RDM looks to his right and sees the "efforts" of Gaby, Sinclair, Richards, Lescott & Bacuna. realises that SP alone puts more effort and example that the glorious 5 combined, selection/Ship-out/bombSquad decision solved immediately Senario 2 is there a need for S2?

Dr_Pangloss Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Stan is a total inspiration, I really hope he is (still) good enough to get a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Absolutely love the picture of him turning up for traing today! You can see how happy he is to be back! Love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 IF Stan can still do it, I can't think of any better midfield signing RDM could make this summer (aside from Messi). Fingers well and truly crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Petrov back in a Villa shirt, captaining us back to the Premier League. Now that's a movie script right there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Every player who packed it in early last season should be embarrassed when they look at what Stan has gone through and what it means for him to wear the claret and blue. He didn't go back to Celtic, by the way. I hope he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Footballers. Most of them make me go "meh!". But seriously. if only half of our squad had half the determination and courage of this guy, we'd have beaten Leicester to the title by a country mile. The fact he's managed to make it to training, at his age, after that illness, 4y after retirement, well, even if he never get's a game, he'll still be an inspiration to those that do. And that's a captain right there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Jesus, can you believe the reaction from 99.9% of the fans if the club refused to let Petrov even try? It's a no-brainier and as Ben said countless times, absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. I just want him around the players. If he can instill even half the workrate and determination in them that he possesses, it'll be worth it. To not let him train would be utterly ridiculous and we'd miss out on an amazing no-risk opportunity. I've read some twaddle in my years on this forum but I think being against an inspiration and club legend as Stan training with us and having a shot at a contract takes first place.

Mantis Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Even if he never plays a single minute for us, having him on board is still a massive plus. There's more to this than the effect he can have on the field personally. It's just as much about what he can do in the dressing room. Him just being here is a boost - he's got more leadership and determination than the entire squad put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wasn't he doing that as a coach? look I hope your right....I'm just dubious......but never the less hopeful you are right. I understand that if we are to change the culture.....He will be an example of what we want to change it to. Edited June 29, 2016 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
