Ahmed Elmohamady - released

[Mister E]

We have a bloated squad and so bringing in an expensive loanee really seems to be a 'smart move'.



NOT

[tomd2103]

Bloody amazing, really. We have Adomah: someone who is limited but gets the ball into scores.
We then sign Elmo who has an assist record.
We have Green, who is benefitting from being in the first team and will get better.
So Snoddy - WHY?

If he's going to play on the left then I can see the logic, as we could do with an option out there really.  Whether he is the right option I'm not sure, as we could really do with pacy options out wide.  I just worry that this signing signifies more tinkering with the formation in the weeks ahead. 

[LukeJames]

I'd rather we stuck with Green on the left, its better for us and his development. He pops up in some excellent positions and I think he will get double figures if he plays the games.

[dcdavecollett]

So do I.

I imagine that even SB will keep Green out on the left, with Snodgrass playing the no. 10 (c. P Lambert) role.

so, where will Onomah play?
I'm confused!

This is where I am stuck as well, we have a few Snodgrass's already  - Onomah  adds something  new to the starting 11 ( a box to box player) - As for Elmo he is our best option wide right - better than Adomah - he has a touch of pace and can cross. 

Can see Whelan's place at danger unless he ups it, as Bruce will view each and every player much the way we view him, only Bruce can do something about it each and every game.

This bloke is a complete and utter waste of fucking time, but appears to be undroppable.

When Bruce is fucked off, hopefully 'Elmo' will follow shortly aftwards.

'Elmo'? Fucking 'Elmo'?
More like Kermit the fucking frog.

[cheltenhamlion]

He certainly isn't a left winger!

[SoccerHQ]

Boring selection.

Boring player.

[olaftab]

He is shit. Shit in everything he does. The worst player I have seen in a Villa shirt ....ever. There I have said it.

Blimey, that's quite a claim.
We've had a few .... so depressing I can't even bring myself to name a few challengers.

[SoccerHQ]

Not the worst player ever but I never get the feeling he's going to do anything on the pitch, create or score. Wasn't he the sort of player who put in loads of crosses at his previous clubs?

If we have to have him in the team I'd put him at RB. Might not be great there but surely if we want to be on the front foot it makes more sense than him wasting an attacking spot.

3 year deal wasn't it PWS? We can see where this signing is going.

[Risso]

A nothing player.  I hope Snodgrass is some use, because Elmo certainly isn't.

[VinnieChase84]

How he can play over Adomah is disgusting

[Matt Collins]

I'd definitely have Adomah in the squad ahead of him
