Looking on the bright side the manager who dropped Hogan on us from a great height for a massively inflated price was Dean Smith. The same sort of talent to get top dollar for our rejects will make a very welcome change from the Get Rid policy that bled us white
Hes been shite since hes been here, and only has himself to blame if he hasnt enjoyed it a bit at Villa...we wanted you to be good but the truth is that we havent enjoyed watching a minute of you being shite in a claret and blue shirt either Scott, but at least youve admitted you took your eye of the ball. My heart bleeds for you and the nice big wages you were receiving...Im sure that helped ease the pain of not fitting in. Fuck off.
I agree Ad@m
The point I hoped to make aligns with the views of Martin and Chris. Dean Smith comes to us from a culture of shrewd player dealing. Whether he is or was the driving force of the discipline of spending money wisely is a moot point. Probably not. But he is the beneficiary of immersion in that discipline and so are we if he brings good practice to Villa Park. Right back to MON we have seen massive waste of money both on incoming and outgoing sales. Player movements orchestrated by bombsquaddery and player antipathy towards the club. I am confident that our dealings are now much more about who is being bought and sold than who is doing the buying and selling.
I saw the game last night and thought it epitomised his time here - he moped about, hardly made any runs that could draw a pass and was non existent in the box.He also looks such a miserable fucker that you think he really does not enjoy football at all - I think we maybe lumbered with him till his contract expires
