Concidentally, at the end of Petrov's first season, we were all saying exactly the same.
I wish the player who played against West Ham had stayed for the rest of his Villa career.
Makoun's contributed nothing to Villa since his debut. Petrov has been vital to us ever since he arrived. You only have to see how sh#t we were last season when he was injured and how we improved once he became fit again.
If you can't see that you mustn't have watched the same Villa as I did last season.
