Think he's done pretty well for us overall, but was a bit dire last season (as were most to be fair).  Clearly not in the manager's plans.  Am starting to think if he likes wingers? ::)

We don't know yet but Sinclair was nothing like a winger for us. I'm amazed we've got a reasonable fee for him.

Just glad we managed to re-coup some of his wages from what we made on the transfer, another big time Charlie departs. Good bye Mr Flanagan

I thought he was fucking abysmal. Lightweight, no particular talent. Good fucking riddance. Stupid haircut, too.

The fact that we've received good fees for Clark and Sinclair, in my view, reflects the fact that the club is being sensible about transfers going both in and out, in terms of actually thinking about how these players might be valued in the market. If it were up to people on this forum, both would have been sold for peanuts, because apparently dumping an entire squad in one window is the best way to react to an (admittedly) terrible season.

I get that it may well not be worth haggling over the actual troublemakers, but for the players who aren't any trouble apart from maybe being not so good on the pitch (those two, and the likes of Westwood and Hutton should they receive any interest in the future), there was never any reason to be silly.

Got the impression he didn't want to be at Villa, and made no effort to have a real go. Could have been great, wasn't.

Another one where football is a means to an end rather than likes to play for the love of the game, won't be missed. Cheerio

The epitome of the modern day footballer who along with his agent is intent on ripping a fortune out of the game.  An utter waste if space and yet clubs continue to sign him.

Of those to attempt 60+ dribbles, only 2 had a worse success rate than Sinclair (37.7%) in the Premier League last season – stat from WhoScored.com

£3.5m is great work. If we've squeezed £4.5m out of them, then that's outstanding.

I get the impression he's not too bothered about whoever he plays for. He gets his paycheck and to hell with whether or not he's earned it during the week. File under David Bentley.

I do see what your saying and di agree with you, but I thought he had some talent, but far to infrequent , so not a great lose.

A footballer who finds playing football a bit of an Inconvenience.
