Zatman Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 SSN just confirmed he's signed and joins them on July 1st, if he plays for England then he does so classed as a villa player and puts us ahead of spurs again until Eric Dier gets a hard earned call up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Rumour has it we came back in with another offer just before he signed for Everton. Don't think there was any chance of him staying to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Would have like him to have stayed but lets be honest, we've survived the loss of far better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Would have like him to have stayed but lets be honest, we've survived the loss of far better players. This I was thinking back to some of those midfielders we've had that were easily forgetful, sidwell, mccann, makoun, bakke, Bradley, Kinsella, reo Coker Cleverley will slip right in there.

samjp26 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Shame really, I wish him all the best but I'm pretty disappointed. Tim completely revived this guys career, and now Everton can enjoy the benefits of that for absolute naff all. Tough luck I guess, wonder who Tim will bring in instead (also means we'll be spending more money now, if we're allowed of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Very disappointed as we seem to have let him go without a whimper. OK maybe we did try but on the face of it it appears not as there was not a word coming out of VP. It also appears to be a complete about face from what he was saying a couple of weeks ago. If he plays like he did under Lambert he's no loss but he is given how he played under Sherwood we could have done with him. I can't believe we have been outbid by Everton on wages, if we have that says volumes about Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 There is an opportunity for somebody else to take his spot, I think GG can do it. An unproven and very injury prone player who has never lived up to his hype. I really hope you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I guess Everton offered him the better deal. 5 years is good for him at Everton and he will be one of their higher earners. He would have been here as well I would have imagine. He did well towards the second half of the season but certainly not irreplaceable. A bit of a blow but I won't lose any sleep over it. Looks like a midfielder will be on the shopping list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Trying my hardest to remember the first half of the season when he was awful. I wish he'd done it vice versa but then again we might not have stayed up. Not being able to compete with Everton (I'm assuming Tim tried to keep him) leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteyp Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Obviously didn't want to be here to start with so I give him credit for giving his all. Seems like a confidence player and could easily revert back to his early season form under a different manager. No guarantees Everton will get the Tom we've seen of late.
