Swansea were also after him when we signed him. So there was obviously something promising about him as a youngster.

For a few months after Westwood signed he looked like he would more than hold his own at the top level. Successive managers have coached that out of him and destroyed his confidence. A real shame as he was one of the few who appeared to care about our plight last season.
That article is spot on. Westwood is the ultimate non-entity footballer, and we've still got about 117 years left on his current contract. I absolutely detest seeing him in a Villa shirt, and we can forget about any thoughts of promotion while he's still a regular fixture.
