The Carrier Bag. Just floats around the pitch aimlessly.

Think he's well down the pecking order now. Sanchez will fulfil the defensive MF role, and Delph and Grealish will provide more attacking MF roles, and we've still got Westwood, Richardson and Bacuna ahead of him, as well as Cole (more time injured) and Gardner (still to prove himself). Odd flashes of a decent player but hasn't really shown anything we'll miss.

Nice bloke and he was slowly winning me over,last season we looked better with him than without him,and the odd goals he scored probably kept us up but its all too much for him.Swap him for the guy from Groningen who scored in the friendly?

Accurate description. Never understood how he got so many starts. Can't agree with those saying he did ok last season. A liability. Hope he gets his move.

I think he's okay... though he's always seemed better suited to a DM role than anyone else in our midfield, rather than a box to box role. A few players in front of him now... but to say he's homesick after two years in England seems a bit odd.

Has he actually come out and said anything himself or is this just another story the Sun have made up?

Well yes, that's what I'm wondering. No detail in that link. He might have worked out now he's a squad player this season but homesickness is a strange one, after two years here.

The Sun has been particularly wide of the mark on the Villa front recently.

I am sure we can find a good player for 4millions plus El-Ahmadl to improve our team. But which player we need is the question.

Homesick? Yeah right. Probably realises he is down the pecking order and wants away.

Well yes, they said the other day that we'd pulled out the Sanchez deal when we hadn't. I like him and i'd have probably brought him on instead of Bacuna yesterday.

Far too lightweight for a Premiership midfielder, thanks for the effort but please go and free up the wage bill...

Apart from clogs, tulips and coffee shops what has Holland got that we haven't ?

Legal drugs and hardcore dog porn.

He's the 11th most frequently picked Midfielder in the league on Fantasy Premier League, ahead of David Silva, Gerrard, Oscar, Nasri, Wilshere and others. It's because he's so cheap and will literally only be on people's benches but if you've got a better way of judging player quality I'd like to hear it.
