Scott Sinclair - now gone

[pooligan]

Good to see the back of another one who contributed nothing last season and played a big part in making it the worst Villa team in history.At times i honestly forgot he was actually playing Goodbye

[UK Redsox]

Gone from Villa but SligoTom will still have to put up with Scotty at Celtic

[in exile]

Didn't exactly bust a gut for us did he?

[Toronto Villa]

He's one of those players who looks great in YouTube compilations and on the odd occasion just tears a shit full back apart. But when you have him in your side week after week you see how overall he is very average. And he really hasn't progressed either from his earlier promise and became very comfortable with his lot in life. It's why I have such huge admiration for a player like Ronaldo because while he might be dislikeable as an individual you cannot deny the intensity of his dedication to becoming the best he can be. He could very well have rested on the talent that he already had when he started to make a name for himself at Sporting or at Man U but he didn't.

Scott Sinclair will no doubt play for a couple of seasons at Celtic before him or his Mrs angle for move back to the lights of London. Another pay day and a life secured financially.

QPR next would be my guess.

[Malandro]

Has he had a hard life? He looks very old in the face. Not far from Sammy Davis Jr at his wrinkly best.

Yep, I didn't want him when he came on loan because it felt like a bad deal.  He then did better than I expected but it was still a case of a few goals masking how poor he was and I'd have loved us to have cancelled the transfer. last September I decided that we might as well try to get something out of him and just stick him in the bow where his finishing might be enough but I never really expected much from him.  Looks to me like a player who's been over-coached and is completely stuck in "play it safe" mode which means he just has no effect on the game.  To play in the sort of positions he plays you have to take some risks and he's totally unwilling to do it.

[Edvard Remberg]

And just scored

[paul_e]

Finishing simple chances is the one real strength he has so it's no shock that he's scored, he'll get a fair few for them but his all round game isn't good enough for the premier league and even in the Championship you'd have the problem of him offering very little other than a handful of goals.  I'm not sure we can carry a 'winger' who is there as a finisher so no regrets that he's gone.

[AGRIPPA]

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.

How much did we get for him???

[mr underhill]

it varies - today it is £3.5m

[Gregorys Boy]

Still say he was decent and made a difference up top in the cup run and during his early league games.  Problem is he just wasn't up for a fight which is what we needed last season and will likely need this season too.

[McGraths Dry Cleaning]

Got the winner today

[in exile]

Got the winner today in Scotland

Fixed

[dekko]

So Brendan Rogers is claiming that we didn't want him to go, but Sinclair made it clear he wanted to leave.  Make of that what you will.
