Allback hints at Villa Park exit

Last updated : 30 December 2002 By VillaMAD
Allback has only started three games since his £2 million move from Heerenveen in the summer and has admitted he may have to consider his future if he cannot break into the team.

"I am back in contention now but there was a while when I wasn't and it is frustrating then. If I get another five or six-game spell when I am not in consideration then maybe I will have to weigh up my future.

"I will start asking myself `is this enough for me?' It is frustrating because I have never been at a club where I wanted to play well so much.

"I love it at Villa. It is a fantastic club. But that just makes it tougher to take when I am left out of things.

"The hardest part is that I have never had a five or six-game run to prove to the manager what I can do. The most I have had is three starts in a row.

"I am a positive person but it is hard not to get down when you are not getting chances to play."
