Aston Villa in for ex-Bluebird McCormack

22/07/16


Ross McCormack, the Fulham striker who spent two years with Cardiff City, is being hunted by Norwich and now Aston Villa, the Mail reports.

McCormack moved to Leeds after leaving the Bluebirds, before making an £11m switch to Craven Cottage two summers ago.

I'm still sick about Ross leaving. I always rated him above Chopra and it was obvious there was a great goal scorer inside of him. OK it's not on the same level as Pogba and Man United but letting him go for £400k was criminal.

I'd have Chopra over Ross.
Didn't RM want to leave anyway and hit the sauce a bit hard.

Correct,and also I've always wondered why a Prem club haven't made a serious offer for Ross.

I'm sure chops used to love a drink or two aswell!

Ross has more to his game than chops, he can play wide attacking or striker. Chops was more out and out striker

I do miss Ross but he was never getting much of a look in and was pushed out wide.. Don't blame him for moving, he showing his quality still and has a great record in this division, he deserved first team football.

Nobody really knows what went on. Maybe things were bad for him and he was indeed fully justified and wanted out. Maybe he was a pain in the arse / bad attitude though and that caused the problem. As I say, nobody knows.
Chops did like a drink but IMHO, with both players at their very best, Chops was head and shoulders above RC.

I think he's over the hill to be honest, we had the best years out of him. :thumbright:

I saw him totally lashed up down the bay the night after we lost the play off final, gave him a piece of my mind, maybe I'm the reason he wanted out hahaha
