Albert Adomah - Released

[London Villan]

He is our target-man, AEM that is. As was snodgrass in that position last year.

[brontebilly]

Should've started today.

AEM as a right winger is such a negative selection for me in a home game, it's like playing with one less attacker as he's a right back.

It's a fudge, as is playing Tuanzebe at right back. Shows a lack of bottle with his selection decisions.

In saying that, Elmo has scored and had assist in our last two goals. Says a lot about or lack of creativity at the moment.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Elmo is streets ahead of Albert in footballing terms. Elmo always puts in a shift and rarely offers less than 6/10. He can defend, he can cross and he can score on the rare occasion. But for some reason his face doesn't fit with some supporters, a bit like Whelan.

Albert in contrast, hasn't had a 6/10 game in what seems like years. Well back to the turn of this year at least.

He's either broken or in a huge sulk because the club weren't in a position to offer him an extended contract in the summer. If it's the latter then he can fuck right off out the door as well.

[eamonn]

Bruce didnt pick him to start with when he became manager due to his poor start with us.

Of the 35 league games under Bruce in the first season Albert played in 34 of them.

How many were starts? At the start of last season Bruce made a point out of saying how impressed he was with Adomah as he wasn't first choice until injuries gave him his chance.

[PeterWithesShin]

27 starts under Bruce in 16/17.

[ROBBO]

I only see Albert on the box so is there anything watching him at the ground that points to his total reversal of form? to me it appears that he is trying and the effort is there so what is missing?

[Matt Collins]

Whenever a player is in bad form fans say it's because he's not trying

[mr underhill]

trouble is he didn't look like he was trying or out of form the other night though, especially when taking the penalty.

[footyskillz]

Brucey says Albert Adomah has a bad back and struggling with injury.

I'm not sure where all the info is coming from on him moving back to boro sounds a bit nonsensical and that it's a reguatation of rumour but will see....

I rather keep albert Adomah

[paul_e]

I think the fact that his brother has posted 'fuck Bruce' on twitter suggests it's more than a rumour.

[Steve67]

Hardly a loss. He’s been terrible for six months.

[PaulWinch again]

That’d be a very stupid decision.

[footyskillz]

I think the fact that his brother has posted 'fuck Bruce' on twitter suggests it's more than a rumour.

It's his brother is it ?
You sure on that or are you going with what been suggested as term bro and brother might not mean actual bro

Anyway this could all be in relation to carabo cup and way he called out players as well as that he may not be a first choice and Albert bro is annoyed that he is being put down pecking order

In fact this is indeed all very much a rumour and speculation.

And his bro says "if he is to stay at Villa he'll be on a mission when needed"

I think with new signings Albert won't be first choice
I think these comments add to rumours
I think Albert missing penalties helps the idea if a transfer
I think Bruce criticises players v Burton

All adds in .

Okay let's see

For record I want him to stay
For record it doesn't matter if it's his brother or not but it is someone close making comments I understand that.

For me 'situation'  with albert that's what i see as rumour

I get people interpret and see differently
No worries

Fairs if you think it's more than rumour

Well 2-3 news sites have said it's his brother so I just went with it.

Plenty of noise that he's on his way to boro as well, but I guess we'll know soon, only 20minutes to go either way.

Albert is staying now according to Nixon.  It would have been mad to let him go to a rival.
