Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[auntiesledd]

Tara a bit Ash: and float on.

Best news of the window. Somebody is finally taking the most chronic player I can recall in 26 years of going down the Villa. He makes Leonhardson and Kinsellar look dynamic.

Cissokho is far, far worse

I think ads baby is suggesting midfield wise !
There are a few worse than both but amount of times he played and without any improvement certainly Westy up there. 

Cissoko seemed to give a few penos away . Try and blank him from my mind though at times he threatened to look solid !

Take care westy  I'll watch out for him against Lincoln in the cup ! Must have been the deal breaker

I wish him no ills but  not remotely disappointed to see him move on. Even if you park the fact he's not very good, he's been too long associated with dreadful, losing teams at VP to the point (no pun intended) it is normal for him. He's no troublemaker but he's ingrained in failure and that's just as destructive.

This.

He could ever really influence the game by himself - with Barton and Defour at Burnley he will probably do an ok job.

Lets face it, for the last few years our midfield has been woeful.

He came, he pointed, he took the money.  A misfit from the Lambert and Lerner experimental period.

Reading the first page in this thread is comedy gold (no offence to anyone, hindsight and all that).

This gem amongst them 'If he's the standard of lower league player Lambert buys, he'll have no complaints from me'

To be fair to the lad, he did look like being a real prospect, did we coach it out of him or is he just so lacking in belief after being at the heart of so many abysmal sides over the years?

I've packed him a pie for the journey.

[Mister E]

Has he actually gone?

Lowton did ok at Burnley, I would not be surprised to see Westwood do as well....and he's in the Prem and we aren't.....

Yeah, thanks to shit footballers like Westwood.

[rougegorge]

He's had a tough time and had given good service during a time when we have been the worst I can remember. However, from day one, he never really influenced a game, was prone to some really bad mistakes (like the rest of them) and I can only recall his goal at Albion as a highlight.

He's not the worst I have ever seen (Tommy Craig, Neale Cooper spring to mind ) and if he leaves, then I wish him well; his limitations were just exacerbated by the limitations of others.

Agree.  It's too simplistic to say he's shit.  He's had shit games, he's had good games.  Overall, he's been let down as the fans have by those above him.
