Czechlad Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He just runs at full sprint all around the pitch doing nothing. When he gets the ball, he immediately tries to take everyone on or shoot it as long as he can see the goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I've been quite patient with him and still retain some hope that he might come good but clearly nowhere near good enough right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodvilla Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not entirely sure what magic he's performing in training, but it's certainly not being brought onto the pitch. At the moment he's lacking in awareness and watching play before sprinting after the ball like a dog. If he gets the ball, then it's either the N'Zogbia classic of run quickly and shin the ball straight into the opposition, or look down at the ball and try and kick it as hard as you can in the vague direction of the goal, which normally results in a scuffed passback to the keeper, or a rocket into row ZZ.

vandaq Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Either way, he is far away from being a premier league player atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The fact he is so bad, gives me the impression he'll either continue to be abysmal, or will turn out to be absolutely brilliant. Can't really articulate why... I just definitely can't see him being a run of the mill average player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2013 Bannan > Tonev Sad thing is, this is completely true. Give me Bannan over Tonev any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 All I know is that right now he is pathetic and needs to step his game up or be prepared to go back to the Polish league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 How a player who is SO shit can shoot with SUCH arrogance and be so AWFUL at shooting and yet do it ALL THE TIME is beyond me. I cannot stand him. I would love for him to be sold in January and forget he ever happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Want to give him time but he was woeful today at one point from a pass he found himself on the touchline with the ball the defender a good 6ft away moved to close him down his first touch was to knock it onto the defender.Useless Also I have to agree Bannan would have more of an influence on the team right now than Tonev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well Lambert and his staff spotted him! I've seen no quality from this player at all. Lamberts unfortunately bought a couple like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I haven't seen a player this bad in a Villa shirt in ages. Well done Lambert, another superb buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He cost £2.5m, hes 22/23 in his 1st season, i'm not going to get too disappointed if he fails.What i am disappointed in , is the fact that we expect/want/hope this signing to make a difference. PL has made too many signings for the future, he needs to insist on backing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yep, Tonev is a comedy act. I think PL relied far too heavily on Petrov's recommendation rather than his own assessment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Terrible and predictably terrible - he wasn't even highly rated in the league he was playing in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benireduk Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I really wanted him to do well but he's just not good enough, like several of our players. I wouldn't give up on him just yet, but he shouldn't start v Palace. Bench him and bring him on for 20 mins if we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
