RimmyJimmer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I just wonder why 4 managers refused to give him a run in the side? He always looks sluggish and a bit overweight to me...training issue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Clark, and Vlaar and Senderos have really been the only two half decent centre half partnerships in recent years I've seen, any other combination has been utterly abysmal really. I wouldn't mind seeing Okore and Clark together next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 i think it was mainly to richards being the captain and rcb where okore plays. it only took them over 30 games to realise how shit richards is (and i dont classify black as manager he was proper cack and clueless) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 i have never come away from vp thinking..wow what a player.. i remember how he failed to be composed on the ball at wembley in the fa cup final drubbing in the first few minutes, you could tell the arsenal players picked up on this straight away..the rest as they say is history.. sell the fool, another cog in the demise of this great club, let his go to another club & he will wake up to how big this club is to the dross in the Premier League 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 For me, he's in that second band of players who might be good enough in the right environment but I wouldn't be gutted if they left. He doesn't qualify for the group of players we MUST get rid of (Lescott, Richardson, Sanchez etc) and clearly not in the group of players most would like to keep (Amavi, Ayew, Traore etc). I feel there probably is a good chance he could be great but the environment at Villa has hit him even harder than most. He has more potential than the likes of Clark and Baker - we know their upper limit, but I suspect there's more to Okore than we've seen due to injuries, manager upheavals and relegation. But, if he leaves I won't be upset. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 He is more than good enough to be our starting CB next year. He is still learning and probably could do with an experienced CB alongside him but I hope he stays and signs a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I drifted off towards the end of the season there, has he really been that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The more players that leave that have been tarnished with negativity, bad attitudes and a losing habit can move on. A win win for all involved possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yep looks like he is off unfortunately he won't be the last who wants to stay in premier league. My nightmare situation would be okore and Clark leaving and having Richards and lescott still here next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Clearly a lost cause now, we need motivated and committed players for next season so cut our losses and let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralJazzman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 He needs to get his s**** together before he can claim to be better than Championship - one good game against Chelsea in the Champions League doesn't make a hero! Otherwise half of the Basel team would be knighted by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Blaming a 23-year old footballer for stating that he would like to play every week, and at the highest possible level? We don't want ambitious players anymore? Of course, he might not be good enough (but what CB is at 23?), but surely Villa has had enough players that have been happy to just sit on the bench (or even happier to be left out of the match squad altogether in some cases) and still collect their weekly King's ransom. In the original Danish article, he says that a new manager at Villa might mean a new start for him at the club, but that it also might mean the end of his time at Aston Villa. All about being given as much time on the pitch as possible, I guess, as surely any ambitious player in their early twenties would want to do - and especially with a view to getting into the national side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Let's let the new manager decide. Beefing with Eric **** Black is not something I'll hold over anyone's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually quite pacey, or he was before his knee injury, which has been giving him recurring troubles since it first happened. I think that's more to do with his spells out of the team than anything else. If he can get 100% fit and stay that way I still think he's our best defender. He has kind of a round face which is what I think gives him the appearance of being overweight. I think the same about Mario Goetze, his face looks like Augustus Gloop but he's by no means overweight. Just chubby-cheeked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think what happened between him and Black was bizarre and nobody came out of it in good light especially Villa though Black insisted he would make changes and played same clearings in the woods everyweek that im not sure if i can take his word for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
