Delfouneso returns to Villa

Burnley have confirmed Nathan Delfouneso has returned to Aston Villa after ending his loan stay at Turf Moor.

The forward has been allowed to leave the Championship club ahead of schedule after their play-off hopes were ended by defeat at Leeds.

Delfouneso, who has been named in England's provisional squad for this summer's Under-21 European Championship, scored just one goal in 11 appearances for Burnley.

Manager Eddie Howe told the club's official website: "Burnley Football Club would like to thank Nathan for all his efforts during his time with us and we wish him well on his return to Villa Park."

Delfouneso joined Burnley in March and his only goal came in the form of the winner at Hull on his debut.

I'd rather he was on the bench than Pires.

Subject to Weimann's fitness and form, I suspect our Nath may well be packing his bags over the summer.

Totally off topic but does anybody else think Eddy Howe is Craig Gardners double?

Yes, he always does well off the bench, which is more than can be said for Methuselah.

It doesnt suprise me to see people writing him off after being horribly misused on loan. The same people would have written Gabby off too after a similar experience on loan. It's way too soon to say.

He wont be going anywhere yet in my opinion and is still a fantastic prospect.
Hopefully he'll get a proper spell as a STRIKER somewhere next season.

He is showing good progress from last season imho.  Time will tell if he has "it" to succeed in the prem.

I would rather have coming him of the bench and grabbing a winner for us than him being stuck out on the wing at Burnley.

Actually, my opinion has nothing to do with Burnley, I just don't think he is good enough.

Exactly

A complete waste of time see also BB

Plus Bradley isn't played because he isn't up to the pace of the PL but we bring Pires on?

Fuckwitery in the extreme


Anyway hope the Fonz gets a bit of a go next season ahead of Ivanhoe

Difficult to be specific, but when he is played in the right position, he still looks lazy and doesn't seem to take up the right positions.  Just doesn't inspire confidence.  I would like him to prove me wrong.

I would never describe him as lazy and his positioning is good WHEN he's used as a striker. Which so far in his senior career has been almost never.
