Genie Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Can't the club terminate bents loan deal or not? Anything is possible with £££'s, villa would effectively have to buy him out of the deal. As Derby are charging for promotion it would need to be massive for them to agree to it. Therefore, won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Very poor today - sure we weren't setting chances up on a plate for him - but he barley find a claret shirt all afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Very poor today - sure we weren't setting chances up on a plate for him - but he barley find a claret shirt all afternoon. Pretty hard against a strong physical team like stoke. They were crowding him out and we didn't change it up enough. Ran out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasGasGas Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Passes the ball backwards as much as anyone in the team. Every time he touches the ball he looks to get rid of it as soon as possible. On average how long does the balls stick with him now? Mostly 1 touch: to flick the ball somewhere else, or he is just bundled over by an opponent while they easily relieve him of the ball. Pathetic. The times where he could have gotten hold of the ball and ran at opponents with it or something similarly meaningful, he just looks to tiki taka it so the opportunity is closed and we need to carve out another one. Breaks down as many of our attacks as Gabby or Weimann would with their ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We played long to him, which vs Stoke was ridiculous, they doubled up on him and he hardly had a sniff, anything he did seem to win gabby didn't read Too many short passes was the problem not long its the problem. Maybe benteke is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 When he's the only player in the penalty box, it's pretty easy to mark him right out of the game. He needs a strike partner to help free up space for him to operate, I don't know why the managers can't seem to grasp this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason he's not the player he was. Not sure how we deal with it - our survival seems linked to him finding form - however that looks a distant prospect - but none of our strikers look remotely capable - so we may as just hope after hope he comes comes good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 He needs to be told to just drift in to the near post when we've got it wide. Even with our creative vacuum of a side, we fire about two balls across the ground a match. He would clean up! Olivier Giroud scores about 10 goals a season doing this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Suppose people still think I'm mad for suggesting we sell this waste of space. It isn't that simple, is it? You can't just say 'sell him', click your fingers, and he's gone. You need another team to place a bid for a player. Have you heard of any team bidding for him?
