Scott Hogan - retired

Interesting to see his introduction interview at Stoke.
He started by saying it was ‘a weight of his shoulders to get away from Villa’ before quickly saying ‘ I mean leave Villa’.

I guess he hasn’t been happy at the club which would explain why he has been so shit.

That and the fact that he *is* shit.

I doubt he'll find it much easier at Stoke, the natives aren't happy. Ten years in the premier league tends to give clubs a divine right to be there mentality (see also Leeds).

Do Stoke actually play the ball on the grass nowadays?  He's kind of screwed if it's still long throws set pieces and hit the front man early rubbish.

Link to Hogie's interview?

How does he explain his poor form at SheffU, I wonder?

Looks like a nice lad putting on a brave face to me.

Not only is he shit, but he’s full of excuses too.

Prove us wrong? Fuck off.

Absolutely no loss whatsoever.  As bad a striker as I've ever seen down the Villa, and there have been some shockers.

Well, to be fair, I don’t think any of us have enjoyed his time at the Villa either.

I wish the lad well, but just get your head down and focus on your game. Chapter closed.

[Clampy]

Don't think he has said a great deal wrong there. He hasnt slated the club and has blamed himself to an extent. Hope it goes well for him.

[OCD]

Another one who got a big money deal and then felt he had achieved what he set out to do, that he was now made for life and could just cruise.

Hopefully the players we're now signing aren't going to settle for that and will want to push on do more.

[Toronto Villa]

It didn’t help that for much of the early part of his Villa career the bloke who bought him then spent most of that time limping long balls at his head or down the wing to chase. A forward who is 5’10 or so and really is someone who runs between the CB.
