USA_Villa Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Have we learned nothing over the past few weeks? Short term'ism will get you nowhere. We should be saving money and developing our youngsters, not paying over aged journeyman players. Of course he can do a job for us but we want more than that. We need to rebuild our cub with youth and pace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rebuilding with youth and pace" is a nice idea, but in my eyes so is keeping some of the players that got us 4th last year. What youngster were you hoping to develop and start at left back next season anyway? By all accounts he has a good attitude and he's a useful squad player being able to cover both flanks. The more interesting thing is who is agreeing this contract? Bruce? Xia? Wyness 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been with us since 2011 and shows more passion for Villa than most players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Excellent news and a good statement to other players who may be thinking of leaving. Maybe things aren't quite as bad as we've been led to believe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) But....but...but....all the journalists said their "sources" said he was going to Forest. I don't understand.

Those years in the bomb squad. Not one complaint, not one story in the press. Not one tweet. Got on with his career, went out on multiple loans, and gradually worked his way back into the team. OK circumstances may have played their part but his ability and attitude undeniably got him to where he was last season and the affection which Villa fans clearly have for him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 So we have found a bit of money to hold onto one of our players. Some positive news instead of the negative stuff that has been throw at us since the playoffs. John Terry, Snodders, Jack, Hourihane, Lansbury and Chester are among those that have reacted positively to the news according to The Birmingham Mail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are going to be plenty of slots for youngsters - you need to have a bit of experience round the place as well to balance things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
