Very decent young midfield prospect. Hopcroft and Harrison seem to be going out of their way to systematically destroy what they built when they were here.

It's a real pity the football authorities seem to have little interest in protecting or adequately recompensing club academys from blatant poaching such as this.

I had little time for Villa as it was but these tuncs are really taking the piss. I'd happily line their academy staff up and kick each and everyone of them in the bollox. For starters.
