Popular Post markavfc40 Posted July 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2016 I quite like Westwood. I think he always puts a shift in and does his best which you can’t say for a lot of our players. However that doesn’t mean his best is good enough. I have said this in the Sanchez thread previously but at a push I could make an argument for keeping all of our midfielders but that doesn’t change the fact that our midfield last season was diabolical. They did nothing well. They didn’t protect the defence, they created f all, they didn’t score, they didn’t retain possession and they didn’t close the opposition down. It was dire. Westwood, Gana, Sanchez, Veretout all got plenty of game time. A couple of them therefore need to be moved on and better players brought in to hopefully bring better performances out of whoever remains and make the midfield as a collective stronger. If Westwood is one of those to be shipped out so be it. I will wish him well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) To be honest I think Westwood is also a player who has been victim to having absolute shite play around him for a majority of his time here. He is solid and dependable if nothing else at the very least, definitely could be a decent part of a squad. He is one of the types of characters I would look to keep, unless we are getting much better. Edited July 6, 2016 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 When you consider players like Bannan and Lowton played well for teams at the top end of the league, then logically Westwood should do alright in the Championship. I think he is severely under appreciated by our fans anyway, but selling him for £6m would be bad business and I'd be surprised if Di Matteo didn't want to keep him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted July 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2016 This is interesting, but I love his attitude, we need more of it, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Don't have any real issues with him (apart from his sideways passing) That being said I think it might be best for all concerned to have a clean break. He's associated with one of the worst periods in our recent history and is always going to divide the fan base and maybe he'll be more appreciated elsewhere.

avfc1982 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 One of the worst footballers I've ever seen pull on a Villa shirt in all my years. A damning indictment of the Lerner era that so many fans accepted him despite the fact he was so clearly out of his depth in the PL and played his part in the worst Villa era in my lifetime and the scandalous decline of a great club. The sooner this charlatan leaves the better. I'm sure he'll sneak out while no ones looking and nobody will notice. Which would just about sum up his time here at the Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
