Scott Sinclair - now gone

[VILLA MOLE]

I could quite happily debate the implications of Brexit with her.

well now she will be residing in scotland her stance may have changed 

[mr underhill]

I'd rather be quizzing her about her positional sense

[Goldie.7]

Sinclair was great at running with the ball, heading for three defenders, losing it, then doing some sort of half-arsed sprint to not win it back.

£2m profit...... happy days!

[Phil from the upper holte]

Not sad to see him leave to be honest. Other than the goal against Albion and a hat trick against county nothing springs to mind

[Matt C]

I wouldn't have minded him staying but I'm equally not worried about him leaving. Good business at 4m and a decent move for all parties.

Been a good week. 5 mill for Clark and 4 for Sinclair, fantastic business. Twitter in Italy saying Sanchez deal done too, I stole that bit of info though to be fair. Loan to buy option.

I'm absolutely astonished we've pulled in nearly £10m off Clark and Sinclair, we should be made to wear masks and stripey shirts.

or play in Lincoln green

[Quiet Lion]

I have to say I was very surprised at just how poor he was for us, completely ineffectual. To get a fee of that magnitude for him is great work.

No doubt he will do well up in Scotland though.

[john e]

every now and then he would go on a little run that normally came to nothing but just enough to make you think he might cause some problems only to melt away into blandness

But for me his biggest problem by far was he had no link up play, he never a partnership with anyone and was on no ones wavelength

if we are to get out of this division the most important thing will be for McCormack, Ayew and Grealish to start read each other and start linking up the same way as Benteke, Delph and Grealish did at times under Sherwood,
Sinclair was never going to do that, for me he was a big disappointment overall

[eamonn]

Certainly has a bit of skill and an eye for goal and by all accounts a decent guy but just rarely had any consistency to his play for us. Would drift out of games all too easily and when he did get the ball would often take the wrong option and wander down a blind alley.
He didn't look comfortable on the wing or when he was paired up front. Watching him and Rudy together against Stoke at home last season with nothing in the way of anticipation or understanding was torturous.

May well have done a job for us in this division but like a clutch of others still at the club, the winning mentality isn't strong enough in him so a move is probably best all-round.

Has he gone then? Either way, he's another player who's found the absolute minimum of effort needed to keep the gravy train a-rolling. Pay-off from us, a big signing-on fee from them, two years of flattering to deceive up there and he'll get another newly-promoted to, or relegated from, the Premier League club who'll think he can do a job for them. Pay-off from Celtic, signing-on fee from his next club. And so on until the next new league somewhere in the world that's offering big money for veterans calls.   

[Toronto Villa]

Yep ta ra a bit. Done deal on a 4 year contract. Another player who showed it on occasion but most of the time completely anonymous.

Good deal for us, well done for holding out for the amount we got. Wyness I presume? Well done you.

Yep that'll be his career path. We've done pretty well to get nearly double what we paid for him.
