Jores Okore

If the club are not bothered about keeping him, I understand his position.
Shame. He could be very good.

This.  I think he's quality and is worth at least a place at mid-table top flight club. 

[David_Nab]

The club wont offer terms untill they know what league we are in , its tricky because he has been injured so we would have held off offering terms but now leaves us in a tricky position.
We will only get a small fee selling him this season but he is our best CB so will need replacing which won't be easy to do

[ozzjim]

Don't think it's unfair really. He is far better than championship. Just need to replace him well.

[Dante Lavelli]

I suppose that there has been a fair amount of turmoil at the club recently, but surely a new contract should be one of the club's priorities.

[villadelph]

Well.. that's Okore gone.

Good for him then, at least he's open and honest.

[dave.woodhall]

Well.. that's Okore gone.

Good for him then, at least he's open and honest.

It isn't him gone at all. It's him with 18 months left on his contract, two years of injury problems behind him and us not knowing what the future holds.

Garde needs to have a word but in his defence he obviously wants to see more than a handful of games.

Jores did have this to say which is encouraging:

"The scales are evenly weighed in my opinion. That said, I am no stranger to staying on and helping this club to better days. But this is a team sport with individual differences."

[Boz]

Whether we are relegated or not, the club should be encouraging good young players to stay. Allowing Okore and his agent to start casting the net because of club lethargy is just another indication of the incompetents running Aston Villa FC.

What does that even mean

Nice timing Jores, cheers mate.

It's from an interview with Ekstra Bladed over here and bits of it looks like Google translate.

I'll try and do a proper translation of the whole interview if I get to a proper computer later or tomorrow.

[PeterWithesShin]

The Mail claim it was translated by a Dane. So knowing them that could mean anything.

[LeeB]

Well it looks like he's saying he's not adverse to staying and helping us get back up, but everything's in the balance at the moment, which it is.

Nothing to see really.

One who's got a basic pass in schoolboy English apparently.

You should use someone with competence in the article to be translated who's translating to their mother tongue. The devil's in the details and there's plenty of phrases in Danish that you can't remotely translate properly word for word.

That bit about the scales for example. It's a normal phrase in Danish for saying something is 50:50, but sounds stupid translated directly to English.
