Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[Exeter 77]

It's £5m!!!!!!

That does represent a decent profit on a player who has played in such awful teams. As I've said on the transfer thread there is a decent player in there but it is probably best for Westwood and Villa that he moves on.

£5mil? Blimey!

One bit of advice, Ash lad. Don't you spend 90 minutes pointing at Joey Barton.

When did he last occupy the most important part of the pitch? I know I'm stretching credulity when I label Westwood a midfielder but you still have to attempt a like for like comparison.

It's £5m!!!!!!

I think I know a fair bit about football having played it for 20 odd years and watched it twice that. I therefore think I have a good idea on the worth of a pro footballer in today's market. That valuation proves my experience, knowledge or whatever counts for nothing.

Not going to believe until he's OTPSABSWWAL.

I dont know where he 'll fit in that midfield  for Burnley.  Stefan defour is a class act maybe he's off! As its him and Jeff Hendrick in middle and Joey Barton who is average.  Anyway not  to worry ! Good luck Westy

Do my raw old eyeballs deceive me, or are we about to pull off the deal of the fucking millennium? The last time I got rid of a turd that wouldn't flush, I ended up paying water bill.

For anyone upset at not getting more money in the Ayew sale consider we are getting a free £5m from selling this dud.

Don't let us down Burnley and make it happens

Sounds like a loan deal with a view to a £5m permanent deal. We may not have seen the last of him.

Never been our best player but at least he's been professional throughout his time here. If we get shot of him, especially for the money mentioned, this is a great deal all round. Westwood gets a new start, still gets to play in the world's best colours and we get more than a fair deal.

[brontebilly]

It's a good move for Westwood, though he will do well to get in their midfield. Wish him all the best, had a lot of potential when he first came but ultimately sunk without trace.

Come on you Burnley!!!!!!!

[eamonn]

I guess he'll be far more likely to go there permanently if Burnley stay up. Is that likely? I've not really kept tabs with the Premier League since we exited it. I presume Leicester are still top.
