Reading this thread, it appears a lot have voted with emotion instead of rationally.To put it another way, if he'd never played for Villa, would you take him?Would he still be considered old and slow at the age of 29 or would he be seen as a canny addition to the squad?
Imagine having Barry and Petrov CM. It's too scary to think about how many runners would expose the glaring lack of pace, I don't care how many yards he's got in his head. It never used to help him catch players bursting away from him.
The problem at Villa was that he saw himself as an attacking midfielder, he just isn't that at all.
