Twitter Announces Heskey is Off

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I reckon he will score some goals now playing for Hinckley Utd.     complete waste of money.

The cheeky bastard is insisting on his Twitter thingy that he will only settle for another Premier club.

Outside of O'Neill, I can't imagine who else would want him.

[JUAN PABLO]

Not the worst player ever at Villa, but certainly the worst ever signing in my opinion, given what he's cost us and what he's delivered.

we knew this when we signed him . Still cant belieeve that other clown bought him  ( oh yes I can to be honest )

[JJ-AV]

good luck to him. I've nothing against Emile, but I will be glad that we will no longer have to discuss him on match day. He was a fabulous player at times in his heyday. It was just so not the right signing for us when it happened. Still, he never had a bad word to say about us, was always a consumate pro, just not the quality that we were looking for or needed.

Presumably you've forgotten about him moaning about losing his England place when MON had him on the bench for ages?

And refusing to play centre half against Fulham about three years ago too (thankfully).

Good luck, Emile. Quality player on your day, but just lack the drive to do it consistently. Reckon he'll look back on his career with a massive 'what if'. Are Leicester still spending big? If so he's surely a cert to go there.

If Heskey plays for England so Can I.........

I still find it hard to believe we signed him, and that we paid him £60k a week! Jesus what was the club thinking, they would find it hard to top that horrible signing!

Hang on a minute, who did they sign as our manager?

As is the H & V way, plenty defended him at the time of his signing, saying how great he was and how Michael Owen loves him.

See also Marlon Harewood.

I can see a promted club going for him - Reading, perhaps?

Or, as someone said, seeing his career out at Leicester.

[Brend'Watkins]

Please let it be Liverpool.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him in an Everton shirt next season.For all the stick Heskey gets from fans there's been a succession of managers who have loved him.

I dunno, I reckon Beye is worse value.

[AlwaysAVFC]

Thought he's been one of our best players of the last few games.

He's had good spells, but overall he's not been good enough and don't know what MON was thinking signing him.

Enjoy it back at Leicester.

Yeah he's played pretty well relative to others recently and we've played better as a whole before he goes off injured. This is probably due to us not changing tactics to suit who ever replaces him.

That said not sorry to see him go, I just hope there is someone better to replace him.

Davies too.

I liked Davies and thought he was very unlucky with two long term injuries at times when he was at the top of his game.As for the worst value for money signing how about Balaban?

I don't.  Heskey with his one goal in his last 40 games is pretty well a sign that we aren't going to score.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses for Heskey, he's rubbish, and a dreadful signing which epitomises O'Neill's lack of vision.

I'm judging it really on the basis that Heskey has actually had to do some actual playing to "earn" (I know, I know) his money, whereas Beye has spent almost all matchdays since he came here at home mowing the lawn / cleaning the car.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'd be amazed if he could pass his next medical, he's got glass legs and a full 90 minutes seems beyond him.
