Jores Okore

[Villa in Denmark]

A coward and has never proved himself to be anything other than average. Good riddance to another of the jokers that have shamed the club..

When the club need players to stand up and be counted, he, along with the other bunch of losers, turned their backs and threw in the towel. I can accept poor performance on the pitch, as long as the effort is there. I can't accept spinelessness. Glad he is gone and good riddance.

You're talking about when he asked Black why he wasn't playing and Black through a hissy strop I take it?

Do you also post under peter_w?

He was paid by the club and a member of squad - he didn't want to be a sub. A footballing decision that can be debated, yes, but refusing to be part of the squad was his choice. He can hitch a lift in Lescott's car and clear off. Judging by the club's decision they feel the same.

Where is this announced?

It's in The Scum that he's having a medical.

ASTON VILLA’S Jores Okore is set to sign for FC Copenhagen – and could line up for the Danish champions against Leicester in the Champions League.

The 24-year-old is heading back to Denmark tonight for a medical after Villa agreed to let the defender return to his homeland for a cut-price fee.'

After his laughable own goal against Luton I'm glad he's leaving. And to think he is probably going to play in the champions league in a couple of weeks! That's mental.

I bet the fans of FC Copenhagen are looking at old Youtube videos of Okore and drooling over his football skills.

There was always a mistake just around the corner with Okore and he was overrated from the start. Never tall enough for a centre back either. Good riddance.

[Leicester_Villian]

A player who was injured after only a few games and looked after by the club during that time ....came back but always seemed to lack fitness .....then didn't want to be part of our club

Like many other footballers simply no loyalty and we are simply best off getting him off the wage bill

The bold bit is where you're making a mistake.  We have 2 sides to it, 1 says he was told he was on the bench and he refused after an argument, that's what you're presenting.  The other side says that he asked why and the manager dropped him completely.  Based on everything Okore did at the club I don't believe he would refuse to be part of the squad and for that reason I think it's unfair to judge him on it.

On the playing side I think he went backwards and I have him as another victim of the god awful coaching setup at the club over the last few years.

or that he simply flattered to decieve

[Tony Erdington]

did show promise, but glad his goon and will be forgotten.

[john e]

Saw him make his debut looked ungainly to me even then and everyone seemed to think he was the real deal,
I'm not saying he has been rubbish far from it but he had always been a mistake waiting to happen I have never felt confident about him on the pitch when in a tight spot,
 honestly would prefer Clark or Baker in the past, so won't be that sorry if he leaves

[oldham_villa]

Even before his injury, he never got goal-side of his man, and his rate of acceleration was on a par with Richard Dunne - once he got going, he was quick.

Beaten too early in the air and average technique.

I won't miss him....a legend in his own imagination

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

people talked of his pace. I thought he was as quick as Steve Simms

[dave shelley]

However questionable anyone may think his abilities as a footballer are, I think it is grossly unfair to label him a coward.  As it has often been recorded in posts on here, the back end of the season he was playing through a pain barrier whilst injured for the cause.  Putting his future career on the line by playing when not fully fit does not bear the hallmark of a coward to me.
