Jlloyd Samuel Closes In On Return

it'll never catch on tylervilla!

Easily the worst player at villa.

JLS is not good enough for this squad. I hope he goes in January.

Jlloyd played every game when we came top six three years ago. We would be happy with top six this season. By my reckoning that means Jlloyd has the ability to play in a top six team. If you go through every team in the league there are not many better left backs than Jlloyd. The following two seasons he played when not fit because the previous manager did not know who else to play there. Tierney and voth both seem to grasp the reality of the situation.

TIERNEY. never mind give the lad a chance, he is to lax when it comes to passing 50% of his distribution goes astray, he's always being caught out of position, he can't tackle, attackers go by him far to easy, have him in the villa squad I dont think so, I wont even have him in the squad on championship manager. are you really telling me that you would be happy if in 2 seasons we get in europe and hes up against some of the big names, he's championship level at best maybe league one get rid and replace with better, we have to move on and up

voiceoftheholt, tierney thank you, some positive common sense, players are affected by their team mates and management, if anyone can bring out the best in a player its MON, so I back up the call for the negative fans to back off, as my mother used to say if you have nothing nice to say, shut it or I'll send you to your room with a smacked arse.

Guys, this is a fans forum where we can give our opinion. Whilst I agree we shouldn't have a go at players when playing, we are entitled to give an opinion. After all not everyone wanted DOL out or Ellis? Discussing who we think is our favourite and who we think is crap is what makes the site interesting. We don't want a sanitised site where everyone agrees we each other.

Eltoro, was JLS like that a couple of seasons back when he was pushing for an England place? And did you say your comments then or were you part of the large contingent who backed him for that spot?! Steff, no problem, but it is an opiniated game, however, common sense and some thought is always required.

voiceoftheholte,you want to know if I go to the villa or sit at home. I don't live in Birmingham or ever have, I'm based on the south coast Dorset but that has not stopped me travelling home and away with the Villa, its been a couple of seasons since I've got to the Villa what with work and family commitments but before that me and my lad went home and away for 8 seasons spending just over £18,000, in season tickets (upper holte), travel, petrol, shirts, booze in the Aston social club, so don't ask me if I'm in for the long ride, I spend as much has anyone on the villa, I'm 44 years old with 3 sons 2 grand daughters and 1 grandson and they're all Villa, so don't question my credentials, and tierny I've never backed JLS to play for England then or now, my assesment is based on what I've seen over the years and yes your right every one is entitled to their opinion, so that’s why I was having mine, if you believe he is the right player for villa then fine, I myself don't ,the bottom line is simple when he first arrived on the scene he looked like a decent player, but I think he his poor now, remember norman whiteside, jason McCateer, 2 good seasons a piece then no where to be seen. voiceoftheholte you say he’s been one of the best passers over the last 3 seasons, what are you basing that on, I'm not talking about the passes back to the keeper or across the back line, I'm talking about passes moving forward, he's poor when it comes to that, and that’s what counts at the end of the day, its called consistency and he dosn't have that, I can't base my claim on what MON can or might do, I can only base it on what I've seen, I don't get any joy from saying some villa players aren't good enough, but sometimes it as to be said, and has for steff_the_villan " if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" these are grown men we're talking about who earn more in a week than I earn in a year, I wasn't talking about the man's family or how he conducts himself outside of the villa, Its simple when he or whoever plays for my beloved villa if they don't play well then I will say my piece . so voiceoftheholte,tierny, steff_the_villan, you should be more worried about the fans who don't voice there concerns, not those that do! GO ON THE VILLA

HERE HERE!!! Tierney you cant criticise what you don't see a lot of

I don't care if eltoro hasn't ever been to watch a match live. He's still entitled to his opinion. If he said he'd been to every match JLS played in, you'd still disagree with him. If others reach the conclusion an opinion isn't as valid because it's based on poor foundations, then dismiss it. Can't see why we can't have a reasonable discussion on a DISCUSSION site. Now we've now DHE or DOL to complain about we're turning on ourselves. Typical!

I don't think that eltoro! And yes you probably have spent more on and seen Villa more than me! I'm glad you are basing in on what you've seen, I just know some people make comments but don't actually see the games. But calling me a *****er because I expressed a contradicting opinion is a bit far don't you think? Like Gaz has said it's a discussion site!
