Charles N'zogbia update

I don't understand this bomb squad thing.

If you don't see a player in your long term plans, fair enough, but FFS, the squad is piss poor as it is already without excluding players from training with it.

Why take a player who cost £10m like he did and just treat him like an outcast? They might not like the fact we're paying him 50k a week or whatever it is, but they are the people who gave him that deal.

And how has the bomb squad approach even worked in shifting any of these players? The only one who is not going to be coming back is Ireland, and that was only because he only had 6 months left on his deal. Piss poor management, whoever it is coming from - Lerner or Lambert or Faulkner.

Why is everyone getting so worked up about a phrase on a social media site that doesn't even make sense?

I still don't actually understand why Hutton was completely bombed out. It's not as if we have a defence of world beaters without him.

[PaulWinch again]

They did the same with Richard Dunne. They pretended he was injured when in fact he was fit. They just wanted him out of the club - probably because of wages.
Proves what sort of untrustworthy wankers that run our club. Quite disgraceful.

I'm not particularly defending them, but that makes no sense. Dunne's contract was up at the end of the season, so whether he played or not made no difference and I assume that was the same as regards his pay.

[Walmley_Villa]

This whole bomb squad episode is shambolic. The players have a been bought and are paid by the club. As such how they just be canned is an awful reflection on the management and suggests they cannot coach seasoned pros (quality debatable of course), these are paid assets of the club and should be utilised. The club should explain its position and reasons but of course that won't happen.

[villan from luton]

When is he fit? Disgrace if he is being isolated

I dunno about that, it is pretty easy to work out what he's saying. And it's not as if there haven't been precedents.

If that is the case, why did Dunne give a very detailed interview last November stating how his injury was under estimated originally and three operations from differnt docs were required. He was starting to train again about Late April which is why he could play in that Irish game at the end.

Aston villa are fucking joke, perfectly fit player allowed to go on holiday when he wants because Lamberk & co have frozen him out.

Indeed and that's half the problem. If they hadn't isolated other players who were on high wages previously, this wouldn't even be questioned. The club has courted this sort of response whether it's accurate or not.

Or perhaps everyone is yet again jumping to the same conclusion as when Darren Bent was apparently not being picked because of a clause in his contract.

Charles is a winger..... they are not allowed. We do not go within 10 metres of the touchline. We play narrow because the goals are in the centre at each end of the pitch.

Why isn't the pitch oval then?

I was thinking the same thing...I read that as not being allowed to train with first team squad not that he hadn't been injured.

Seems some just want an excuse to vent their spleen on the club.

And I am one of those desperate to see Lambert gone in the summer

[Irish villain]

I bet Dunne's injury last year was the same.

He would have wanted to play if there was any chance. What is worrying is that few are worried enough to question the madness at Villa Park these past few years.

He was fit early in the new year. A mate of mine spoke to him in Sutton Park and told him to his face he was fit. They just didn't want him in the team.
