I liked him and was very excited when right towards the end MON played him up front in a triangle with Young left and Gabby right.
But he only gave us one maybe two good seasons and would go ages without scoring or looking like scoring, i think if he had arrived at Villa today with the team we have and MON in charge then he could have been even better.
I agree not a hero but not a flop.
McGrath was a hero, Dublin was a hero
Balaban, Curcic and many others were flops
JPA doesn't fit in either category
