We also have another winger in Nzogbia who needs to find some form, so I doubt we'll be buying another wide player so in the medium to long term, they should both get a chance.
He is a typical promising Villa player - starts out very hyped - then teams get wise to him and he doesn't get the coaching to take him to the next level...Still like the guy and his energy. One of our few "impact" players?
Easy to forget this lad was lighting up our games this time last year, running Evra ragged at VP was a particular highlight.Apart from that cross at Everton, he's looked quite poor to me this year. A year ago the talent was there and it still remains but I think our lack of a decent wide player on the other flank is hurting him as teams can now double up on him. Might help if N'zogbia decides he's a decent player again sometime this season.
