That's not a bad thing. He's going to want to be starting games week in, week out IMO.
Best case scenario, he wasn't in the squad, worst case scenario, he starts the game.
We're somewhere in between at this stage.
Unfortunately for you, I doubt it. We appear to have money now. The talk from Villa since the takeover was that we aren't selling our best players.
All the flapping has come from Villa fans themselves. ?
I think he'd wait, but not for interest from Spurs, more so to see wether we look like we're going up.
If we'd have managed to get over the line last season I don't think we'd be having these discussions.
