Bye blert
Pity he didn't just join Villa for £5m in January. More money down the drain.
A life-long red who got to pull on the shirt and score for his boyhood team. Under a decent manager it might have worked out. Good luck to the bloke.

He got the chance to play for us and it didn't work out. Bet he's still loving it

The romantic thing is: at least he got to wear the shirt. The reality is: he was shunned by the club as a kid, he went off, built a career for himself elsewhere, won huge self-respect, and got an England call up...and then we bought him, treated him like the pathetic loser we'd told him he was all those years before, and then sold him to a shit club run by a character dropped from Full Metal Jacket. It's not really like we were worth it for him, eh? It should have been the pinnacle of his career. I suspect he'll try to wipe it from his mind. And who could blame him.
We didnt play to his strengths and should have used him differently.
But he looked overawed by putting on the red shirt and out of his depth from day one.
I think everyone had that feeling when he missed that penalty. He hadnt missed one in God knows how many years before that.
Good luck to him. Seems like a great lad.
PS WBA paying 8 mill for James fucking Chester. Insane.

Like what was the point in buying him to use him the way we did?
We talk about liking players and not liking players, but what about treating players with a bit of respect by the management?
I thought it was a bad idea from the start, but some cunt decided it was a good idea to take Ricky from Southampton and then basically not give him a chance.

You could repeat that ad nauseum for every striker bar Suarez since Rodgers arrival. Funny that.
Pretty much this. However the other strikers (and the rest of the team) failing so miserably last season also contributed. If he had came off the bench a few times and the team had been playing well with a decent lead, then he wouldn't have been under so much pressure and he probably would have been able to show off the abilities that got him into the England team.
At 4 million given his previous two seasons at Southampton it was well worth a shot. He was poor in his time here but the team overall were rubbish and it's not like he was missing chance after chance that was served up to him. Ultimately, he was used badly but didn't deliver, but it wasn't from lack of effort on his part. I hope he has a great season at West Brom.
I agree that he was misused and Rodgers has to take a lot of blame here but he did look out of his depth.
Lack of confidence or trying to hard. I dont know.
