I like KEA, don't realise why he got so much stick. Should be kept as a squad player at the very least.

I would keep him until Jan at the earliest and scout a replacement.

Each to his opinion and it is to your credit that you support him but I would have to say I put him in my Top 5 of woeful players I have seen at Villa Park in the 45 years of going.

He was worse than all but four of our third division players?

You have been a supporter for about the same length of time as me and probably of a similar age but you certainly have a shorter memory.

He strikes me as all fart and no shit. Swaggers around looking every inch the mercurial midfielder without ever delivering with any consistency.

He might look the part every now and then but with nothing like enough consistency.

Worst player in 45 years? That strikes me as way over the top.

Good enough for this league? I don't think so.

Surely the Dutch league is the one which has provided more players unable to make the step up than any other?

It has also produced some great players, both Dutch and foreign.  The style of play is great for developing players but is also an easy ride for average players who look better than they are.

Is the AFNC this season? We'll lose him for that part of the season anyway if it is.

Yeps.  I think Morocco are hosting it as well.

Is he Dutch?

Born in The Netherlands to Moroccan parents, hence why he's qualified to play for Morocco if I remember rightly from when he signed.  At the very least moved there at an early age.

From the story I read I thought he was talking about going back to Holland in a years time when his contract was up. I wouldnt slag him off as much as some on here, but whenever he does go I dont think I will be crying myself to sleep much.

If I could marry again it would be a Dutch woman.

That's the most optimistic post I've seen from you!
