Jores Okore

[KevinGage]

Some of these idiots will get a reality check this summer.

It's one thing to be a member of a relegated side, quite another to be one of the worst performers in that side.

Unless it's Cluj, or Deportivo Wanka, I cannot see Okore or Bacuna getting the dream moves they so clearly believe they deserve.

[dave shelley]

As far as I'm concerned they're both a pair of c***'s.  The attitudes of both show levels of c***ism that's hard to beat even if you'd studied hard enough to achieve a professorial degree in high level c***ishness.

After Black has been kicked out, an exclusion zone around Villa Park needs to be set up that prevents him breaking, under whatever capacity and with whatever club is stupid enough to employ him.  In case I haven't already said it, he's a c**t.

[brian green]

Not like you Dave to mince your words.

[dave shelley]

I know Brian, and I know this should be on the Black thread but the obstinacy of the man really has my back up.  He's employed by Aston Villa to do the best he can for Aston Villa which, in my opinion with his team selections he is falling far short of doing.  I don't care about what's going on behind the scenes, we all know the whole place is in turmoil but, for crying out loud, at least put out eleven individuals that are going to do their best for Aston Villa.  The majority of his team selections are absolute charlatans.  Get rid of Black asap.  It's no big surprise he has failed whenever he's managed at other clubs.

I rate Okore and his partnership with Lescott has easily been the most effective of the season. We even kept a few clean sheets.

But when a player starts sparring with his manager through through social media, it is time to go. Three games left, and he's out of the door. What the fuck does it matter who is right or wrong?

Give Toner the gig and have Richards clean his boots for him afterwards.

I think Okore will want out regardless of what happens with this bollocks standoff with Black. He'll fancy himself as too good for the championship. The reality is, a year down there would actually make him a better player and he's not Premiership level as things stand.

I don't want a single member of this current squad - this record breakingly shit squad - to ever play for us again. None of them.

No second chances.

When Honda opened their new plant in Swindon, they refused to employ anyone who had ever worked in car manufacturing before. I think it would be great to have a set of players who had never played for Aston Villa before.

We've near enough copied the Honda model.  None of our players have ever played professional football.

[brian green]

He gets away with it because most of them are even worse.

Despite the fact that that's the opposite of what he said?

I’ve got to be honest, aside from anything that he’s said or done, I don’t think Okore’s very good at all. Aside from being quite strong I don’t see anything else in his game that suggest he’s going to go on to bigger or better things after us. He’s not particularly quick (and has even more limited acceleration), ok but not great in the air, is very one footed (and not very assured with that one) but his positional sense and ability to organise / communicate with those around him is absolutely pathetic.

I’ve said this before, but if you look at some of our biggest hammerings in recent times (Arsenal twice, Liverpool, Southampton being a few examples) he’s been at the heart of the defensive chaos. Not sure why seems to get away with so much ineptitude from some fans.

It's because he hasn't played very often, and the performances you rightly point out are forgotten amid the sea of other shit performances by his teammates.

The human brain cannot ordinarily deal with the sheer scale of ineptitude it's asked to deal with.

Okore may well be a better option than either of the Chuckle brothers, however let's remember that this basically equates to him being the tallest dwarf in the kingdom of dwarves. He's not up against much really. They're all fucking garbage.

Did he say that though? I thought he just said that playing in the Championship won't necessarily harm his chances of playing for Denmark rather than him either being happy to play in it.

[kippaxvilla2]

No action against him according to reports tonight.

He'll be looking to move for sure. On that count I can't blame him. Unless we get a complete sweep of the management team soon we'll also be turfing him out at the nearest opportunity. The only salvation for Jores is if a new manager is appointed and rates him enough to keep him but he'll be handed a note saying that Okore effectively went on strike, regardless of whether it's entirely true or not but of course the whole situation has been pathetic (in a season of all round abject pathetic behaviour from top to bottom at the club).

Given what Black said, that to me implies that there's absolutely no communication or mutual trust between the management and board. Everything seems worlds apart. The players to management, the management to board, the board to Randy. I'm fully expecting no action to be taken against Gabby either. If we've not taken action against Okore then it must mean Black was talking out of his arse (because if a player does refuse to play action MUST be taken). So surely Black has to go...
My head hurts...trying to fathom this club is like trying to explain time travel plot holes in shit sci-fi films.
