Nicklas Helenius

Now it makes sense. Good luck to him in his recovery and fairplay to Lambert & the club for their silence around the player. Now I understand why.

Goes to show that us fans very rarely know everything that's going on behind the scenes no matter how much we like to think we do ... and in todays 24/7 media and social media society where everyone can be a journo its amazing how clubs still manage to keep things in house and not on the front and back pages

Get well soon Nicklas!

Best wishes to him.....hope he could return as I think that there is a player in there

An illness left him addicted to sleeping pills last season.

What with that and the still secret events with the coaches and with Chris Herd plus the injuries to Kozak and Benteke, it's no wonder Randy referred to endless dramas in his 'for sale' statement.

This is why it's annoying when people jump to assumptions, and start rumours, with what's going on with players without any facts

Good luck with the recovery Nicklas and hopefully we can see him back at Villa when he is better, showing the potential we all know he has.

Would love to see him come back healthy and motivated to show us what he can really do. 

Talk about bad luck for Lambert with Kozak & Benteke injured and Helenius unavailable.  Perhaps starts to put such a shit season into perspective and maybe will teach us all not to shoot from the hip so much?

Agreed, surely we must be due a bit of fortune to go our way.

Agreed but it won't stop us

Good luck Nicklas, speedy recovery.

Hope he gets recovered fully.

I think there is definitely a decent player in there. Hardly got a chance, and still managed to score.

One thing I don't understand, though, his agent tweeted at the end of last season that Villa had told him there was no future for him at the club (or "he is not in their plans" or similar). Seems strange.

There is surely no way the club can not have known what was wrong with him, so it seems strange to cut him loose on the back of that.

I hope he gets another chance - if he wants it.

[damon loves JT]

Given the circumstances, his agent would hardly tweet the truth.

[not3bad]

He seemed to have the ability, so I half believed the rumours that were going round about his attitude letting him down.  Hope he makes a full recovery. It would be great to see him getting another chance, and having a proper crack at making it here, but his health is the main thing.

I suppose all clubs have their share of players with private demons but we don't half seem to get a lot.  I wish him every success in life.

That is that mystery solved, now the biggie.

What is the real reason Alan Hutton never got to play?

[oldtimernow]

that Brian will go down with Why Barry didnt take the penalty as one of those unknown unknowns
