Not sure what he's done to be consigned to the dustbin

Apart from being shit and useless for 4 seasons I can't think of a reason either.

Last year of his contract I would have thought this would have been the ideal time to play him. Not sure what he's done to be consigned to the dustbin when we're short of something in the team.
that's about what I think, as well.

Why haven't we just cancelled his contract? He's a waste of skin.

He's not. He's a human being and a football player. He's just not good enough for Villa.
That doesn't consign him to the ranks of 'waste of skin'.




Now.  If you'd said, Delph, about a month or so ago.... ;)





Apologies if you took it literally, maybe I should rephrase that as a waste of a shirt. I dislike him, no desire, terrible purchase. We might as well tear up his contract and pay him off because only if we find another moronic combination, like a South African Lerner and Mcleish pairing, will we flog him.
Yes I did. He's not. I don't dislike him but feel that he may do better elsewhere if he can't turn it on or be recognised for doing so, for The Villa.

With Tim, other players like Kozak are also up for reexamination and I am questioning his assessment of their abilities.

It's all very well choosing a team and subs for Saturday but I think some talent may being ignored.

Charlie is just about the last person on planet earth I want to see turning out for us at the moment.

Interested to see who you would drop out of the squad for him? We're having trouble fitting in Ayew, Traore, Gil and Grealish and not leaving ourselves open and incredibly weak in midfield so I have no idea where that complete wet blanket would fit in.

There is very clever segway somewhere in there Lou about snakes being able to shed their skin but Delph is consigned to hisstory.

Segways are not clever! Segues, however...

Well, you know?

Neither would I.

No idea, not in Tim's team(s).
That's Tim's job!
And Kozak.

Segways have wheels and lights and can turn in any direction and are very clever. So are segueways.
Which also have wheels and lights and can turn...

I think we're better off consigning him and his performances of the last 4 years to the dust bin. Give the new blood a chance and let those that have already failed us numerous times go by the wayside. This bloke has trousered nearly 」20m by the time his contract has gone up, we owe him nothing.

One thing is certain. N'Zogbia is a massive prick.

Didn't the guy who invented segways die after reversing over a cliff on a Segway?

I think he still owes us something, though.

I can't imagine how a talented Premier League player of his experience doesn't even get on the bench. Absolutely seriously, why not? Either he's completely rubbish at BH or?

There's a bit of me that wishes we had coaching staff with the desire and ability (and enough of them) to get the most of the players we have.  In Kozak and Nzogbia there's 15m in transfer fees and at least that again in wages, yet we buy Gestede and Ayew on similar deals. 

The net gain being?...

That is not me saying that Nzogbia is good enough, just that we are currently, and will continue to do so, wasting money hand over fist  each season without seemingly coaching the players we already have.  To paraphrase Honningstein (sp?), in Germany they see it as a failure of their system(s) if they have to spend big each year.
