I think he still has potential but is so devoid of belief he is really struggling. A loan move home for a season might not be a bad idea.

I think he's in the last year of his contract so wouldn't be surprised if we sold him.

I didn't realise that. Makes sense.

He can still turn it around. It seems his youth against him in the sort of environment there's previously been around the place. If we can continue day's form and ensure there's a better mentality around the place he could easily do a job when needed.

He's gone to FC Copenhagen. looking very light defensively if the two amigos go too.

Need to bring in more players to strengthen the defence. Perhaps a bid for Morrison at Blose? Would piss them off big time! Good defender though and a leader...

Perm or loan?

That Luton game sealed his fate here really.

Always quite liked him so disappointing how it panned out for him here.

So that would be three centre halves plus toner out on loan? That does feel very light

Suggests another centre back to come in. Xia did say before we signed Ritche De Laet that we were looking to bring 5 in but was more confident of a right back and hopefully a no.9. De Laet obviously turned out to be the right back but one of those five may have been a centre back.

Surprised they've let him go, but not remotely bothered.  Wouldn't be surprised if someone was lined up on loan as cover.

Showed so much promise early on...until that awful injury against Newcastle. The Luton game may well have been the final straw, but that own goal is easily the most pathetic thing I've seen a Villa player do. It was pitiful.

Goodbye Jores.  Glad you got the move of your dreams.

Given what we thought we were getting we should be gutted about this. Unfortunately another player who won't be missed at all and ended up being a liability at the back much more than an asset.

Yeah definitely need some cover brought in.  Don't want to see Richards anywhere near the side again.
