Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[Clampy]

I can't say I was ever a big fan so I'm not sorry to see him go. I don't get the animosity towards him though, he just wasn't good enough at the end of the day.

I'll be happy when he's gone, and i'll be happy I never have too watch him in a Villa shirt again.

But i don't wish the bloke any hostility or woe like some. He wasn't a bad egg, he's just not a very good footballer for Aston Villa FC.

There are far worse Villa players on the books that i'd rather see the back of (Gabby, Richards, Hutton, Ross now) but it's a small step in the right direction for me.

I wish him well in his future career

Completed his medical at Burnley, its happening!

[Hookeysmith]

A very nice, decent human but a professional footballer who played at about 2 levels above his actual ability.

When he first came I really thought with the right balance around him he would go on to be a real star - alas it was not meant to be

I wish him no ill at all - but this does represent another piece of the shit jigsaw that got us to this point over many years being removed

Viva la revolution

Spot on.

Chuffed I never have to see the pansy in a Villa shirt again. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke and all that but he's shit at football. Can't believe we've got £11m for Gestede and Westwood.

[Steve67]

Is the cash confirmed? Or is it loan to buy? Loan to buy obviously a worry!

Both of which are to a Premier League club, amazing really!

SSN mentioned "cash" thought to be in the region of £5m.

Steve Round has just been pictured pegging it from Turf Moor

All we need now is a Chinese club to offer £73 billion for Agbonlahor, Richards and Hutton and it will be a very decent window.

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Each? :-)

Each? :-)

I'm not greedy!

You'd think the Doc could have hooked that up. Disappointed in him LOL

ps. Hope you're well pal.

[Risso]

Come on Swansea, still time to get into a bidding war!

Honestly, I cannot wait to see the back of him.  That we're actually getting rid of him and his ridiculous contract, AND getting paid cash for it is nothing short of miraculous.  I shall celebrate his transfer every 31 January from now on.  Terrible, terrible player, and the living embodiment of our uselessness over the last 4-5 years.
