“Coward as a man” is probably a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, I thought that was unnecessarily strong.

It’s nonsense to call him a coward as an athlete let alone as a man. All of these professional athletes have to fight through immense competition to get to the lowest levels of their sport let alone the top. One thing if you feel he’s not good enough for where we are today. Perfectly reasonable to have any opinion in that regard. Quite another to consider him a coward in any form.

Did you not see some of his challenges or lack of them in some of the games? Wolves at home and Leeds away when we were hanging on were quite memorable for all the wrong reasons. Very half hearted at best.

There's a lengthy article about him and his career on the BBC football page, but the author includes no opinion on the quality or otherwise of his performances with us last season.

That wouldn't be an issue had his output been more convincing - there were just too few goals and assists to make a compelling case in the end.

Shirked challenges aside, I enjoyed watching him play though. A very smart, technical player who, it seemed to me, was engaged and enjoyed playing for the Villa.
