Philippe Senderos

[Holte Sweet]

I could give you a long list of players who should nver have been allowed across the threshold of Bodymoor Heath and hes right up there with the worst of them.

Its not about  not giving players a chance . At 28 he has had a long career and has been a serial underperformer.

Tonight he is proving what many of us already know

[eamonn]

Haven't seen the goals but the Beeb slating him, including Pat Nevin, saying this is the sort of shit Villa fans should expect to see next season.

[PeterWithesShin]

He made 1 mistake, it was already 3-0. Shows how little some know and how much they want to stick the boot in. If he is making those mistakes every week for us then i'll give him stick, against a French side on fire i'm not bothered.

sounds about right bring on the shiten

[silhillvilla]

This is why relegated Fulham binned him off midway through their relegation season. Woeful signing to be brutally honest.

[Bad English]

I will slag him off when he fucks up for Villa.

See you 10 mins into the Stoke match thread then 

[PeterWithesShin]

You almost seem to want him to fail, which is strange. Why not give him a chance, he's Villa now.

[Holte Sweet]

Let me think Pat Nevins opinion or some  eternal optimists on here......who are making comparisons with Paul McGrath???

Yes it does make  we wonder what they actually understand about football.

Of course not, just a depressing signing . He's not PL level.
Be honest with yourself, he isn't is he.

I know, it's shocking, some people actually want to see the guy kick a ball in anger for us before they slag him off. Totally unreasonable!

It wasn't a comparison. Which kinds of proves my point. I was making the point that McGrath made mistakes, it happens to every player, or do you disagree?
Senderos made one mistake in the game, hardly the end of the world and excuse to slate him is it?

Or maybe we should write him off now and not even give him a chance in a Villa shirt, is that what we should do?

He's not my first choice and I was hardly popping open the champers when he signed, but I will judge him on what he does in a Villa shirt. Surely that's the best thing to do?

\I'm with you PWS, let's see what happens when he's on the pitch and wearing the shirt. He's our player now if you like it or not. Let's give him a chance.

Yes. But this is an open forum for debate isn't it ? I think he's a horrendous signing as is Joe Cole. I may be proved wrong but I doubt it very much .
Equally before he kicks a ball people can say he's a great signing or good or solid or average or the best we can expect.
That's the whole point of having forums like this isn't it ?
All views are welcomed and open to debate.
