Quote from: Russ aka Big Nose on January 11, 2019, 01:11:35 PMWith Bree, I just don't think we can know whether he will be good enough unless he gets a run of games at RB.He's been at Villa for years and I don't think he has played three consecutive games. We have to see what he can do either in our first XI or on loan. And presently with the form of Elmo and Hutton and De Laet in Oz, I would suggest we do that by playing him.The fact that several managers have had him available for selection, and have consistently not picked him over players that are not very good tells it's own story. They can't all be wrong! I would put him in the same category as Jordan Bowery, strange punt of signing that hasn't worked out.

There's only Bruce, who bought him and never used him. Unless you're counting McDonald as a caretaker manager. If it was a long string of managers I'd agree that 'they can't all be wrong' but if 'all' does mean just Bruce and McDonald I'd say they could be and very possibly were.
Player who hasn't played regularly since May 2017 looking horribly off the pace.Can't say I'm massively shocked. This is a problem when you sign players who hardly play in months.
