Matt Lowton - new deal

[pauliewalnuts]

Can't see this anywhere, but he's signed a new four year deal.

Good move, Villa. Can see him continuing to improve next season.

Good stuff

[Dr Butler]

Lowton, Guzan, Clark and Westwood all tied to deals....well done Villa.

[Simon Ward]

Smart move all round

Future England full back..without doubt
Great news.

[Ian.]

Excellent news and well deserved.

[Dante Lavelli]

4-years.  Good move.

[placeforparks]

good news, think he really developed over the course of last season.

and nice to see the vast majority of the young players are buying into the vision and committing.

Lowton, Guzan, Clark and Westwood all tied to deals....well done Villa.

...and Baker.

...and Weimann.

This is really good news.
If they play like they did at the back end of last season, I think there is every chance both Lowton and Westwood will get England call ups.

I just hope all this positive stuff rubs off on Benteke.

I like Lowton for two reasons primarily.

1. He's got a real football 'brain' on him. He seems to read the game so much better than Bennett, Baker, Clarke.

2. He's got a physical presence to him. He's tall, but not overly so plus dynamic.

Good move signing him up. Well done to all concerned.

[pauliewalnuts]

His chesting down of the ball at high speed, moving forward and floating that wonderful ball for Weimann to score against Sunderland was one of my favourite moments of last season.

[Toronto Villa]

Goldie will be gutted by this latest development

[GarethRDR]

Cracking news.
