Good move - been watching him for a while and remain unconvinced.  He needs a run in a team to either prove or disprove his worth and we don't have the luxury of playing someone just to show whether or not he can cut it.

Good luck to him- fonz is more of a goal threat than heskey buy as he's not getting on the bench some times it makes sense to give him a run with a play off chasing team.

I'd have preferred heskey to Leicester though rather than fonz to burnley.

This loan deal I 100% agree with.  He will play a lot more up there then here. 

The last player we loaned to Burnley turned out to be a good player for us but then we sold him and he came back to haunt us on Saturday !

Instead of bringing Ivanhoe on with 15 mins to go it should be the fonz. heskey is far too predictable.



What's Delfounso done in a Villa shirt for you to get so upset about? For me he's been little short of anonymous this season.

It's a gamble but as long as we keep our strikeforce injury free, it's a good move.

Maybe we should do the same thing with Friedel.

I'm still not completely convinced by him although I'm aware that others who have seen a lot more of him than I have have high hopes for him.

Burnley have already got a young promising striker in Jay Rodriguez, it will be intersting to see how they compare.

I'd have kept him as well. He nearly won us the game against Small Heath. Good luck to him though.

What? A few minutes here and there in a team that's probably going to be chasing the game, or having some starts that will enable him to construct his game in a winning team over 60, 70, 80 or even 90 minutes? - I know which one works for both the player and the Villa.

Get a grip, man!

Which is why it's not such a good idea.

Stop the blood clart whinging already.

Its much better he plays a lot for Burnley, as a striker, than the odd run out (out of position) for the first team.
It's a higher standard than reserve team football which is his main diet at the moment.
Then he'll come back next season with more experience and confidence.

Obviously we should put a recall clause in.

And if we get too many injuries then we can recall him.

Nothing because he hasnt fatured much for whatever reason.

The point is Bannan was on loan all last season so no point whatsover in going out on loan again.

The Fonz has been a prospect for a about 3 seasons so surely that was the time he should have gone on loan. For example the Fonz scores a few at Burnley so will that get him a few appearances for us? Doubt it.

Im not over convinced yet about either player but the only way we are going to find out if the are good enough for the PL is for them to play in it.

In fact if I was BB I would be thinking hang on the team are really in the shit and the manager is farming me out to leeds rather than have me involved
