As gutted as I am that he's leaving I'm excited by the signings we've made and we won't be a one man team, we were shocking without him last season.
I'm also excited to see how good he really is with better players around him and against him in the champions league etc.
He will still be the local lad and villa fan. I'm not a neutral, far from it I'm vtid but I can't begrudge him doing what he's doing, i actually think he deserves to be playing with the elite, I just wish it was with us.
