Whilst I agree with bringing Louie on, I dont think he is physically ready for anything like a first full season in the Prem, hopefully some regular cameos, or maybe a loan out to the championship, didnt do Jack any harm?
I don’t recall saying that you did compare Wes to Zico, who I also saw live ( I saw him score v Argies at Spain 82). I used Zico as an example of a super player.

My point was not directed at any Footymad posters but at the general fanbase of all teams, who seem to exaggerate players’ ability who are no longer in the spotlight. A bit like pining for an old partner, in lonesome moments, whilst totally ignoring/forgetting the reason why you split in the first place.

You and others believe that Wes was coming good, fair enough Old School. I happen to think that he is clumsy and lacks something. I would rather yours and other’s faith in him be correct, rather than my view. All for the good of the Villa.

I wish him no ill will, I just don’t think that he’s up to standard, on his showing so far. In fact, I think that he was poor on most occasions.
