Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[JuanMartinez]

Mo Farah is a long-distance runner, we need players who can run fast over short distances.

The fact that we know Trez has goals in him in only 9 months ago in a poor team, is enough to warrant him given time, especially as his defensive work can’t be dismissed.

We need players who can run fast over short distances? Do we? Reallly? Ok how about Linford Christie then?  Or any other sprinter with zero ball skills? 

Trez had 3 goals in him 9 months ago. It helped keep us up. Bravo.  What's he done since in those 9 months to warrant his position.  Clue in case you're struggling, which you clearly are: it's slightly more than -1 and it rhymes with cluck ball.

Agree to disagree, have a fun night.

Well I guess that's  what forums are for.

I think he's pants and one of the players we need an upgrade on.  Was useful in getting us to this point but needs moving on when we move up a level.

[nick harper]

I’ve never seen a player with so little composure playing for us at this level. He runs around a lot but invariably loses possession and then fouls someone trying to get it back.

This.

I tend to not try and write players off after a year as you never know. Targett and Konsa are both obvious examples of players who got slated on here by some but have come good big style this year. Glen Whealan to a lesser extent.
After more than a year there are some players you just know are never going to cut it, in recent times there have been more than a few, but Gestede springs to mind.
I’ll never forget Trez scoring in the last minute of the cup semi final against Leicester, or ghosting in and smashing it home against Arsenal.
If players aren’t good enough I at least like them to run around and try however pointless that can be.
But Trez is plain and simple not good enough for a top half premier league team, never mind a team that has ambitions to go further. He struggles to beat a player, runs down blind alleys, invariably loses the ball and then invariably fouls a player trying to get it back. He also doesn’t deliver any crosses at all and if he does somehow get a chance has no composure at all. Every time he receives the ball, I sigh as I know at best it will come to nothing, at worst he’ll give away possession.
From the outside looking in, he seems like a good lad and a worker and seems likeable, but I would be happy not to see him start a game again for villa.

The number of needless fouls both him and El Ghazi give away is infuriating.  Both can occasionally chip in and get on the end of things, but give them the ball and expect them to create something and they will lose possession more often than not.

they are on the same level, will have their moment’s.

But both lose possession constantly.

You take the rare moments he has shined and not much there.  He is not at the level of player we need.  Why do people automatically defend players just because they wear the claret and blue.

Not many are defending our Trez, usual bully boys and scapegoat brigade out in force

This place is full of opinions, no need for the bully boys comment.  He needs to be more consistent with his end product.  This comment does not make me a bully.

[JuanMartinez]

His end product kept us up last season and this year has contributed like all of the squad to consolidate mid table which ALL of us would have taken in August.

Don’t be so sensitive.

Actually, you're wrong, Trezeguet hasn't contributed at all yet this season has he?

[JuanMartinez]

He’s worked tirelessly for the front like Olle and also to ensure we have the second highest clean sheets and confirmed our mid table finish at worst.

Give me Trez in front of Matty Cash over Traore all day.

That's hardly a ringing endorsement given Traore's form over the past couple of months.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but given that we are hopefully looking to move forward next season, which of the teams above us would Trezeguet be a regular starter for or even make the match day 23?

Not once have I mentioned next season, purely speculating about the current season where we achieved a status in March that everyone of us would have accepted in August.

Next season is another debate, I want evolution and better standards in all but 4 positions.
