r_and_l Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 good move for heskey! not such a good move on villas part in my opinion,I have never rated heskey always thought he is useless!!could never understand how he got england caps either possible one of the worst forwards in the history of the premiership!!!!

somersetspur Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Good move for everyone. Wigan get £3.5 million for a 31 year old. Good for Villa with Carew struggling,Im sure Mr O'Neill will get Heskey firing on all cylinders. Could be a clever signing,to secure a Champion's League spot.

John The Baptist Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Martin O'neill has signed an ideal target man that will only help his side in the push for a European place. Heskey is big, strong, tough, awkward, but most of all he is a great hold up player. He will bring the two wippets into play and probably make them both even better players. Also he will have a field day with all the crosses into the box. Ashleigh Young more than Agbonlahor delivers superb set pieces and crosses which Hesley is gonna thrive on. So all in all i would say great signing. O'neill isn't stupid. Just look at the league table!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never touched him ref!! Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Fantastic move by steve bruce, getting rid of the big useless lump for £3.5 million, coz he was going in the summer anyway for free. Not too sure about the loan signing replacement, mido!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midfield Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 He's awful. Worst first touch I've ever seen on a so-called top player. Would be better off at Wh--e Sh--e Lane with the rest of the Prem cr-p players! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 am i right in thinking that is 11 Englishmen in villa's squad. this has to be good for our national side having a top 4 club with so many English players in it. love him or hate him O'neill is doing a great job at villa just goes to show you do not need £100 million to spend on a good player the villa whippetts will feed off all the miss- controls of Heskey and he will create havoc in the oppositions penalty box and the management will get another team player giving 100% :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmanaldo Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Villa could field more than just 11 English men: GK: Stuart Taylor RB: Luke Young LB: Nicky Shorey CB: Curtis Davies CB: Zat Knight RM: James Milner CM: Nigel Reo-Coker CM: Steve Sidwell LM: Ashley Young ST: Emile Heskey ST: Gabriel Agbonlahor Bench: Marlon Harewood Craig Gardener Isaiah Osbourne There might also be others I've missed out... Wonder how many Premiership sides could actually field an all English XI from first team players?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Marlon Harewood will be looking for a game anywhere, then ! Ideal for the Spuds, almost as clumsy as Bent ! There's a third-choice striker who could be right up Arry's street ! :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishatheart Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 A very good signing for Villa... Arsenal will have to pull up their socks now! 4th place will be Villa's if they sign another Midfielder! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck1961 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think it's a very good signing for Villa. O'Neill has worked with Heskey before (at Leicester), and I think he will be the perfect foil for Agbonlahor. Michael Owen has always said that Heskey was his favourite strike partner during his career, can really see Agbonlahor finishing the season strongly.

isaac rosenberg Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Somersetspur, I was only trying to help ! Having been embarrassingly turned down by Bellamy, Heskey, Downing, Cudicini and probably Kayne Trevaskis and the whole West Ham squad, why don't you offer ten million for Harewood ? You never know.... Blue nose is sniffing the fifth round draw ! Now your manager has stopped grovelling to Purple Nose, what are you doing ? Back up your pole, Busby !

Deano11 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I dont think he has the best touch in the world but i think with villas team they needed a big strong player to allow there young whippets to destroy teams , overall this is a fantastic signing for villa in the way the team will benefit. He aint best player in the world but he is one of the best at what he does best and will fit perfectly with villa style of play Arsene will be quaking this morning unless he can pull something out the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Bickland Bloke Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think Hesky has had his day. getting too old and no real ability to make fans go 'WOW'. He might score the odd goal, but please, he ain't no Fernando Torres. I think Villa just had money to throw down the drain and thought 'ooh I know lets buy Emile Hesky' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Absolute rubbish. More like,O'Neill thinking,if I want to get a top 4 spot,I need to strengthen the squad.What do I need.? With Carew struggling,and Harewood not cutting the mustard,the club could do with an experienced forward. O'Neill being a top manager,see's a player who he has worked with and know inside out is available. Lets be honest,when was Heskey playing his best football.? Yes you got it .Playing for O'Neill at Leicester. Smart manager. Good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Must agree with Somersetspur. I've never rated Heskey myself but O'Neill is a top manager. He must think he can get the best out of him for the team and wouldn't it be nice if Ar5ena1 missed the Champs League spot cos of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye Matin O'Neil is a great manager but just because a gr8 manager brings in a player doesn't automatically make that player great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishatheart Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I can see O'Neill' signing another player or two before the end of the Transfer window..... Shorey out??? I would go for the lad from Celtic (Scott Brown) He would be quality!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hey, Somersetspur, I bet Dom Pullen would come and join your lot for a year's supply of chocolate biscuits. Or Spurs could always make an offer to Stonebridge to come back ! The way it's going, you'll have to play Cudicini up front ! At least you'll be able to watch your Spuds locally, at Home Park, next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was me thinking this thread was about Heskey signing for Aston Villa, and whether that is a good signing for them, But alas, you have to try to turn another thread into a situation where you can feed your insatiable obsession with all things Tottenham and those who support them, it aint healthy! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
