For me the question is did he come here to get fit or to get match fit? There is a difference, I would have thought it was the latter of the two. If it was to get match fit, for the time he has been here he is labouring. I have my doubts he can really cut the mustard anymore but I would be happy to be proved wrong.
Hopefully a lot of humble pie and hats eaten on here over the coming months. I'm certain he'll be a massive difference once match fit and look forward to bumping this thread

Exactly, I'd love him to spring into life and recapture some of his spark.
Immensely talented lad; had shit luck with injuries and whatnot, but in the event he doesn't find fitness or form, someone should definitely offer him a coaching job with us.
I'm with Rob on this one. I saw him "live", for the first time on Sat. and came to the conclusion that he has probably come to the end of the road in his career. How I want to be wrong!
I thought this, but it's probably down to Villa's complete lack of attentiveness regarding his fitness regime. As far back as I can remember, since he was in his late teens, he's always had fitness issues.
Simply not good enough anymore for me. Yes set pieces he's good at, but doesn't offer enough for me so slow to release the ball and gets it took off him easy.
Shocked that Murphy was left out the squad a game he could have made a massive difference to Saturday I think
