Your worst ever Villa player
« on: July 19, 2015, 08:30:53 PM »
Mine would be Andreas Weimann. I don't wish the guy any ill but hells bells he was absolute garbage. Hoodwinked many of our parish into thinking he was ok because he ran around a lot but in all facets of the game he was, to put it politely, found somewhat wanting. Being played out of position didn't help but then there isn't a position on earth that could accommodate a 'footballer' like him. I'd sooner have played with ten.

Ulises De La Cruz is up there. Didier Agathe not far behind in his brief appearances. We've had a few contenders.

Bosko, I saw nearly every minute he played for us and he looked completely out of his depth. My mate used to cover the reserves and said even for them he looked lost.

Weimann and UDC don't come close to some of the clunkers we've had over the years.

Maybe not the worst, but the one that's annoyed me the most since I started going in the late 70's is Nigel f¤¤king Callaghan.

I think Nigel Callaghan would be top of my list ...he just didn't show any interest.

Andy Weimann would not be anywhere near the top of my list, was actually quite disappointed he left, good squad player.

Djemba-Djemba was shit as well. And Beye, apart from that Messi run against Hereford.

That's why I said annoyed me the most rather than worst.
He'd proved he'd got plenty of ability at Watford under SGT then got to us and just couldn't be arsed.
It takes a certain level of ability to be so far ahead of the game that he pre-empted the likes of N'Zogbia and Beye by 25 years in doing f¤¤k all for your wages on that scale.

Weimann doesn't come close. He is defo not as bad you paint him.
Callaghan was hopeless. Neil Rioch was pretty poor. Cantscorino was bad. Tony Moon was gash.
I think there are several who claim the title you seek to give to Andreas.

I also remember Dean Glover and David Norton were a bit crap. Or maybe how shit we were in the mid 80s just makes me think they were shite.

We've done this before, I think.  Anyway, I'll give you my choice...John Inglis, absolute rubbish.

Gary Penrice,Carl Tiler more recently I'd say Sylla & Grant Holt
Always thought Weimann did ok & scored a few decent goals
