Made his first start for the Villa today and according to reports played well in the holding role in front of the back 4.

Absolutely what we need to replace the likes of Livermore, Mowatt, Molumby or Reach. Yet we didn’t give him chances and hope of getting first team game time and he left us for them.

Just about sums up what we have become, a club that develops players for other clubs whilst at the same time signing and keeping experienced and ageing players on inflated and long contracts.
