When he scored that goal at Anfield from Benteke's back heel following Gabby's pass I thought we had the best front three in the league.

Good luck to him but £2.75m for someone that is widely regarded as not good enough for our first team and/or the Premier League is a decent bit of business. If he's only bench warming for us then it looks like the best move for all parties. Thanks for the goals scored Andi and good luck for the future!

Although he narked me with the ear cupping at home to Hull, I always liked him. Shame we rarely played him in his best position, stick him in the middle and he could score. Most of his goals were instinctive finishes. Cheers Andi and all the best.

Some of the goals he scored were absolute belters and it's puzzling that someone with that quality produces it so infrequently. Probably why he's off to Derby I guess.

If Derby play him in his right position, he'll do a great job for them. The two goals he scored against Hull last season showed what he can do when played as a central striker. A little bit sorry to see him go so good luck to him.

£2.75 seems a bit low to me given fees these days. As a PL scorer he should have been at least £4m imo.

He only has a year left I think, otherwise we might have got a bit more. I think the figure is fair. Hopefully him and Bent strike-up a good partnership.

I liked his work ethic, found him frustrating at times, felt sorry for him at often playing out-of-position, and will fondly remember some very smartly taken goals. Just a pity he couldn't be a bit more prolific and better when not playing on instinct. All the best, Andi.

Always liked him, but should have scored more recently when he's played.
Good luck to him.

My son likes to get his favourite Villa player on the back of his shirt. So far we've had...

Laursen (injured, didn't play again)
Carew (sold him)
Albrighton (sold him)
Weimann (made it through the season, sold him)
Grealish.......

I'm not so sure. 

He's scored goals against most of the big sides in the top flight - in a  team that didn't create a whole lot, in all honesty.

When you see some of the prices floating around for absolute crud, and the prices that Championship sides have paid for players who have never even been in the topflight, we should have been looking at £5-6 million. It's not as if Derby are one of the smaller Championship oufits either.

I thought that, but somebody pointed out that with only 12 months left on his contract we're less likely to get his proper value.

But the key was he wouldn't have been in our plans - probably one of the players told to find another club.  Good luck to him.  Perfect level for him to shine.
