Not good enough.

He reminded me of another not-good-enough finger-pointing midfielder in NRC. Although NRC didn't just do the pointing, he used to do the pre-match huddles as well.

Never understood the vile he got,  Wish him well in the future and hope he gets a decent reception when we can play against the countries elite again!

Rejoice, rejoice! Ring all the bells from Aston to St Barnabas, from Pype Hayes to Perry Barr, dance, slaughter a goat, and pray to the sumptuous Christ that miracles really do happen.

I hope he does well up there. It didn't work out at Villa but like others have said the bile and spite was out of order.

His move to Turf Moor ends a four-and-a-half year stay at Villa Park for the former Crewe Alexandra captain.

Westwood made 162 appearances for Villa, including 124 in the Premier League, and helped the Midlands club reach the 2015 FA Cup final against Arsenal.

But after relegation to the Championship last season, and a high turnover of managers and players at Villa Park, Westwood welcomed the chance of a move to Burnley and the chance to revive his Premier League career.

He told Clarets Player: “I’m delighted to be here. It’s happened fast but I’ve been made to feel very welcome and I can’t wait to get going.

“It feels like a proper football club and homely and that’s what I like. I like to be appreciated and I think I will definitely get that here.

“The manager at Villa said I could speak to Burnley and for me that was perfect – a fresh start because things had got a bit stale at Villa.

“It’s a fresh start and I want to show people what I can really do.

have had some great times at Villa but recently it’s not been too good. I’m back in the Premier League and I’ve got another chance - coming here into a dressing room like this, full of British talent, and people who want to do well.

“I fit that bill and hopefully we can grow as a team and keep on improving.”

Westwood - a former team-mate of Burnley full-back Matt Lowton in their time together at Villa Park - will watch the Clarets’ game against Premier League champions Leicester City at Turf Moor on Tuesday night before being eligible for the first time for Saturday’s trip to Watford.

He added: “It’s perfect for me. I didn’t have to think about it. It suits me and it suits the family.

“Driving up the M6 last night past Crewe, I thought ‘yeah, this is where I want to be’ and hopefully that shows in my football now.

“I have watched Burnley and they look a bunch of people who work hard and have definitely got enough talent and hopefully I can add to that.

“For any club to stay in the Premier League is a big achievement. Burnley are doing very well and hopefully that can keep improving.”


Fee undisclosed, is talk of £5m credible ? Maybe we only got £500k...

He looks delighted to be there.



That's almost as bad as the "holding the shirt like it was covered with pigeon shit" Anelka photo when he joined Albion

When we get promoted he certainly won't still be playing in the PL, even if we can make it this season. If Burnley intend for him to be a regular starter then they will be speeding the date of their relegation.

This isn't me being vile, it's just that he's physically feeble, he's a "pushover". Would love to see him playing against us.
