Hello Villa fans. Obviously like many Hibs fans I've been following John's move with interest and watching how he is settling in at your club. I've watched a couple of interviews and he seems happy. I read he had a decent debut which is nice, because as a player joining a new club you want a good opening game to show at least some of what you can do, it makes the player happy and shows the fans something positive. It also gets that issue out of the way and the player is then on the front foot. That has been achieved. The trust has been established.
John is a very talented young player. The more you see him play the more you will discover.
I have watched quite a few Championship games in the last couple of years and it's just like the SPL, so this level of football is easy for him. No worries there.
He is a player who will always give you 100% - whether you are 3-0 up in a game, or 3-0 down, John's head will never drop for a minute. His attitude doesn't change.
I'm pleased that he has gone to such a great club as Aston Villa, I was just a boy but I remember well that European Cup winning team in the early 80's. What a team that was!
I wish all of you guys at Villa and John a great season and hope you get back to the top of English football very soon. All the best.
