Yes, based on the here and now. But this season and last isn't the normal kind of environment for a player to develop in. Realistically, have any of our players developed this season?
I agree he does seem to have a bad attitude, he seems to think he's made it when in reality he's achieved f all. He's made more mistakes than he has goals for sure. But, for the sake of a few million I'd rather give him a chan e to prove himself with Villa. If, that's a big one, he can prove he has the right attitude. If he can bring a positive attitude and curb his stupidity then he might just make a good player. If not then off he goes, it's worth a look though surely.
