Chris Herd

If only there was a thread called "Villa Player Loan Watch" stickied at the top of the page. *winky*

Oh, thanks - I didn't see that

With our current financial restraints he's a decent squad player to have around, not least because of his versatility.

If he's going to remain at the club going forward then he should be looking to challenge Bacuna and Lowton for the back up RB position.  If he sees his future in any other position then he should be looking to move on really as he's now miles away from being first choice.

I've said before that I like Herd. But he's 26 in a few months, he needs to be playing. Even including his loan spells he's only played 73 league games.

I've always like Herd as well. The trouble is, was he a midfielder, was he a centre half or was he a full back.

I know that Barry was switched about between those early in his career and it turned out ok, but it couldn't have helped Chris not to have a set position.

Herd's finest hour at Villa was probably this

His goal at Anfield was pretty important.

To be fair to N'ZMAV, there's also a thread called "Chris Herd" which is hardly an inappropriate place to look for news about Chris Herd.

Which after 6 months of no posts on it was on page 25,678. While the other one is at the top of the first page *winky*

I fear he will be found out now if he has to play at Wigan. The championship is an unforgiving  league and with Herd's lack of game time he could get eaten alive.

I saw a stat that says he scored 2 goals for Villa, the one at Anfield but what was the other?

Tranmere home in the LC.

If the club were in a different situation he might have settled in as a decent squad player for us, but as it turns out, we've got far too many of his ilk (physical, hard-working, lacking in technical quality, prone to the occasional brain explosion) to have space for him.

He played at Bolton and survived to live the tale.

He's average but always gave his best in his limited appearances for us so I wish him well particularly as he had the off the field issues last year.

He will never play for Aston villa again.

It's certainly unlikely - this loan takes him until the end of the season and then his contract is up.
