Carew to leave Carew to leave from seestyle's blog

It was a sentiment expre sed by many, albeit in hushed tones. When Houllier finally settled into Villa Park just what would he make of John Carew? After all, this was a player he had Vernon Hargreaves III Jersey offloaded to Villa when in charge at Lyon. Add to the mix Carews nomadic career path (Norway, Spain, Italy, Turkey, France and England have all been home in the space of a decade), his reported penchant for a certain exotic entertainment, and his quite astonishing injury record and the writing appeared to be on the wall. The all-too-public war of words between the two in the last week seems to be the final nail in Carews, rather large, coffin.When Houllier arrived at Villa Park he was quick to rea sure Carew that he was happy to leave the past behind them. Carew too made all Boomer Esiason Jersey the right noises, telling The People I do not have problems with the coach. What is done is done and I accept it. My exit from Lyon is in the past. How, then, have relations deteriorated to such an extent that over the weekend Carew slammed Houllier as disrespectful, with the Frenchman retaliating with claims that his striker is stupid?Carews goals and personality have made him hugely popular during his time at VillaIf Clay Johnston Jersey Carews widely speculated January departure does transpire, it would cap a dramatic fall from grace for the 31 year old. A hugely popular figure with the fans, Carew has been the teams top scorer in each of his three full seasons with the club. Khalid Kareem Jersey Villas current struggle for goals, (only Wigan and West Ham have hit the back of the net fewer times in the Premier League this season) would make signing a replacement absolutely vital, particularly as fellow strikers Gabriel Agbonlahor and Emile Heskey remain injured.An official club spokesman i sued a statement last night advising that Carew and Houllier had met during the day for talks to clear the air. The matter, the statement a sured us, Brandon Allen Jersey was now considered to be resolved. But with Carews contract up at the end of the season, and funds from the sale of James Milner expected to be made available to Houllier, Carews future seems far from certain. Neither man, however, has come out of the squabble well. There is a feeling amongst some that in Carews comments there is an element of arrogance. As for Houllier, he can not afford to be seen as harming dre sing room spirit. The key criticism many Logan Wilson Jersey Villa fans had of ONeill was that his acerbic relationships with many of the squad severely damaged the progre s of the club. Houllier simply can not risk more player unrest.
