Club that cannot stop scoring lets yesterday's man go forth.

Another bollock dropped by our esteemed board. Why wouldn't you put a clause in to allow you to recall someone on your own payroll?

[Ron Manager]

As we cannot recall him (due to someone at Villa Villa Park not thinking out of the box) this thread is completely pointless. All it does is give the Bent haters another chance to have a go at him.

[mrastonvilla]

I don't think it was a bollocked dropped in not including a clause in the loan as you simply aren't allowed to recall loan players if the loan extends beyond a certain point of the season (January window maybe?). Besides we don't have space in the 25 man squad having bought Gil and loaned Sinclair.

[Tom_Mc9?]

He's crap. No bollock has been dropped.

[Ron Manager]

He's crap. No bollock has been dropped.

No he is not!

[silhillvilla]

He's crap. No bollock has been dropped.

That's bollocks

[Tom_Mc9?]

His recent record in the top division would suggest he's not as good as he was or as good as he thinks he is.

Christ, I had forgotten about Sinclair already! That should be on another thread.

[silhillvilla]

I'm not saying start him but he would be handy to have on the bench.
Our striking options are truly limited as it stands .

Rather like Benteke?

[Chris Smith]

No he is not!

He's not crap but he is not the player he was and a few goals in the Championship, mostly from the bench, do not translate to being able to do it in the Premier League.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I can see where you're coming from, but I think our strikers aren't great, but they're all underperforming. If Sherwood can get them playing a bit better and closer to their capabilities, we should be okay and can address it in the summer.

Yes.

[Pete3206]

I haven't got too much of a problem with him being on loan, but we should have least have the option of calling him back if needed.

I agree, but it wasn't really a loan was it? Lambert was showing bent the door.

Well said. Hasn't done it for nearly two years now. Yes, there have been mitigating factors, but he looks to be playing with a sense of entitlement, which is a disgrace off the back of one good season.
