Just had a look on Fantasy League, and in the league they have 4 goals and 14 assists for us. So 5/17 sounds right when you add in cup games.

This makes him seem marginally less shit than I thought!

Given all the blind alleys he's run into I genuinely can't conceptualise the idea of him setting up another goal, because that would seem to involve actually looking up and picking out an option.

Benteke's great goal at West Brom was one of Charlie's assists.

Hopefully it means we don't have to pay a penny on the remaining year of his contract.

unlikely I'm afraid, he will be trousering a nice golden handshake to get off our books

I thought he was a good signing at the time, particularly considering we were selling Downing for 20m that summer and getting Nzogbia in as a direct replacement for half the price seemed good business

Alas it wasnt meant to be

Useless. Worse than woeful 90% of the time.

£20m spunked away.

I remember us being quite pleased about him signing. Terrible mistake it has been. Off you trot Zoggy. I hope!

He's only 27? :o This guy must be the slowest ager in the world. ;)

On a serious note I wish him a good recovery.  I don't think he has much of a future at Villa but given his age and that he still has something to offer hopefully he can do a job somewhere else.

Sorry didn't see the date of the top post, plus it said new on the thread. Someone to get off the wage bill for sure.  It seems a life time ago when he was of three promising signings from that ex-Blues manager...

Another manager who 'didn't have any money to spend'.
