He really has got issues as this lad and he needs to grow up quickly or his career will be in serious jeopardy.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Villa beat us 2-1 at the Turf on NYD, signed Drinkwater six days later, got butchered 6-1 at home to City where Drinkwater made his debut, and have since picked up four points. We've picked up fifteen with one extra game played in that time. I'd say he's cursed, but in just the last eleven months he's been done for drink driving, got into an injury-causing scrap in a nightclub, and now this. Framed like that, he's a disgrace of a professional footballer and of no use to anyone at this point. The £10m he's still to pocket from Chelsea (contracted until 2022) might console him to some superficial extent, but people who pi$$ away their careers like this are usually pi$$ing away their life. It will hurt him in years to come if he doesn't address his attitude now. Needs help, if indeed he's willing to listen to anyone.

If Sean couldn't straighten him out ,Danny really has got serious issues.
Danny needs to consider counseling with someone. who has the experience at dealing with footballers
His career is over unless he gets a grip of his life quickly

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
With the money mentioned already in the pot he's set up for life with or without a footballing career, invest the money well, property portfolio ect, & just retire you can effectively do what you want & live a life of relative luxury, it'll hurt him career wise if he's got aspirations to improve within the game, he's loaded he doesn't give a flying f*** in a rolling doughnut, if that's your definition of somebody urinating their life away that's a peculiar perspective, at 30 years old effectively being a millionaire & never ever worrying about money as a problem, I reckon over 95% of the working people face.Spiral wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:14 amVilla beat us 2-1 at the Turf on NYD, signed Drinkwater six days later, got butchered 6-1 at home to City where Drinkwater made his debut, and have since picked up four points.

No wonder the group appear stronger and closer since Drinkwater and Gibson have been asked to leave/ stay away from the club. Results better too. Good riddance to bad apples!

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
True, footballers aren't renown for the IQ when it comes to money & not always money, always made me laugh reading a story in the Peter ridsdale book where Jonathon woodgate left his passport at home when at the airport thinking he didn't need it, think there was boarding a flight to turkey, long time since I read the book I think his agent or somebody advised him to keep his passport safe & it was literally in the safe at home.Suratclaret wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 6:39 amAlthough he should be set up for life, it wouldn't surprise me if, in a few years time, he ends up bankrupt.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Search function means it doesn't take hours to find that thread and considering some of the moronic comments made at the time it's worth reminding people that Dyche does actually know best a lot of the time.
Not that it will stop the usual suspects from having a cry anytime the club has a little blip.

Those who were bigging him up from the moment he signed for Villa along with Dean Smith seeing something that Dyche didn't have certainly gone quiet about their little star lately.
No real shock though it is a lot harder to comment without hindsight

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
No stupid, what I thought was he should be a good signing who would strengthen the squad and improve our midfield, which considering he had been a member of a team winning the league and being picked for his country previously wasn't hard to imagine. Sadly he lacked effort in training, got into trouble off the field and ended up being unable to dislodge our current midfielders.
What I also didn't do was the moment he went elsewhere start making claims like "watch he play every week now" " we should have been starting him" "clearly Smith sees something in him" comments along those lines. Like I said not as easy as commenting after a fact with hindsight, something you are good at.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Crazy. He had the opportunity of A lifetime at Chelsea and let that slip.
He then had the opportunity to regain regular premier league football under a brilliant man manager and let that slip.
He then got saved from the scrap heap by a manager of a huge but underperforming club where he could’ve become a hero and he let that slip.
He clearly needs help. Maybe someone like Barton could help out. Problem is he will be a target wherever he goes in this country now.
He’s had a decent career, premier league winners medal and earnt lots of cash. But on the face of it seems he has some real issues that he needs to sort out of he isn’t to fk his life up in the way he has his career.
That premier league medal will seem like a long time ago.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
I was pleased when we made the signing. Clearly struggling with issues within himself.
I would have thought Dyche would be an ideal man manager for him - shame it didn't work.

Sounds like a complete c*ck. Think Villa will benefit more by getting rid and getting him out of their dressing room.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Partly true.
But I think he can get professional help / experience from others that will be more beneficial than bottling it up and battling whatever issues it is he has alone.
Look at Tyson Fury. THE prime example.

Glad we didnt take that approach with Keith Treacey - lots of similarities there. Luckily we helped him out even when many fans would have thought he didnt deserve it.

Now I'm not trying to say Dyche is as good a manager as Fergie (yet) but isn't this exactly what Fergie used to do. No matter how big the name he wasn't afraid to get rid of those that upset the culture he wanted at the club?

SD showed with Joey that he knows how to get the best out of a player. If hed given up on Drinkwater it wouldn't have been without trying. He's past helping, feeling sorry for himself for a career that fell off a cliff. I don't think he will ever get it back.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Despite anything that had happened previously, I was really pleased when we got him on loan and thought he'd prove to be a very good signing for us. Then came the night club incident and the long wait to see him in Premier League action. Dyche said all the right things about him and finally gave him that debut against Man City. Just a few days later we were beaten 5-0 at Spurs and Drinkwater remained on the bench for the entire game. That's when I came to the conclusion he wouldn't be staying and he never did play for us again. Dyche's comments on him were interesting but I don't think our manager has ever thrown a player under a bus in all the time he's been here and that's how I think it should be.
So, Villa for Drinkwater, and you would think he'd get his head down and play. He got his chance there and has started a few games. But if today's news is true, and there is nothing to doubt it, then he's clearly, at best, not helping himself. I don't know where he goes from here to be honest. I thought Patrick Bamford was one of the more disruptive loan players around but Drinkwater has taken it to a new level.

Re: Drinkwater headbutts teammate
Jota was on the radar of a few clubs before he left Brentford for Birmingham. Always looked a decent player on his day( like anyone else, I suppose) but rarely gets an appearance for his current club. Drinkwater, Jota and Lansbury are an expensive non playing midfield trio although that might change soon.
