Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[barrysleftfoot]

 Hes fantastic at pointing.For all 3 goals he spots the run, points to another player to cover the run, and stand about do nothing.

 If he is supposed to be a defensive midfielder then he needs to do his job properly.

Up until yesterday he had been in fairness. I did chuckle when I saw him point at a player yesterday and thought track him then!

He's been doing that since he first joined. He's an expert at it.

I have no doubt he went to and graduated with top honours from the Frank Lampard School for Pointing Excellence.

Second in his class only to Jack Wilshere.

Westwood and Mark Kinsella, the Pointer Sisters. Don't we have Kinsella Jr on our books (along with little Sid)?

Kinsella Jr plays for Walsall. There is Lewis Kinsella who plays in the yoofs, not sure he's a relation.

Taken from a recent interview.

'...I would have come here for nothing,' says Westwood. 'In fact I didn't even know how much I was getting until after I'd signed the contract and started reading it. I just wanted to play Premier League football.'

​How refreshing.

[Hookeysmith]

Have always thought Westwood was a real player and just needed the right compliment of players around him. With Delph and cleverleys tireless running and jacks willingness to come for the ball we are starting to see it. I have always thought of him as the next Michael Carrick. Another player whose development waned due to Lamberts anti football

[OCD]

I agree with the Carrick remark. At the risk of getting laughed at, I've thought that if he could consistently play to the best of his ability he would be playing for England. If he did and we signed Cleverley, we could conceivably have a midfield full of England internationals.

Pretty sure I saw an article recently that said the Kinsella who plays for Walsall was Mark's lad...which Lewis is too...so brothers!

[Matt Collins]

I like Westwood and the carrick comparison is valid. Difference is carrick is 6 foot plus and can do the defensive side better than Westwood (as well as being better overall). I'd definitely keep him tho. In a three alongside delph and cleverley he's definitely mid table premier league standard

[silhillvilla]

I like westwood , he is the "water carrier" type. You need someone like that.
Equally whilst Sanchez has been trying to adapt this season I have very high hopes for him next year in a similar role, more physical prescense and the ability to play out.

New 5-year deal just confirmed by the club.
