Villa player loan watch

[dave.woodhall]

Good to see because he wasn't getting good reviews at Brighton and he was being written off.

Just like scoring sensation Marco van Bentsten.

[Matt Collins]

I did wonder if Gardner would be a better bet as a DCM. He's got a good physique but he always looks too slow to play in an attacking position

Still need to give him a fair bit of time to show his potential

Could well be playing in the championship for us next year so good to see he can do it

I was talking to someone who knows the Gardner family. They said the family's footballing allegiances are split but are mostly toward Villa. I asked if Gary ever left, would he suddenly come out as a Bluenose and apparently he really is Villa through and through so that's a relief.

On a sidenote, its been reported that Sherwood has moved the U21's training area next to the first team. It's such glaring common sense I can't believe it wasn't like that before.

He scored today and a Forest fan on Call Collymore was raving about him. It pains me to say it but maybe he will be an asset for us next season in a lower division.

This was my thinking. Playing in a deeper lying role will give him more time on the ball. He's got a good range of passing. When he's around the box his feet aren't really quick enough. But you'd fancy him to run from deep sometimes and pelt a 30 yarder in the net.

I'd play him now if we could. But certainly in the Championship next season he could prove useful. Cleverley won't be signed and Westwood needs to either go or be relegated to squaddie.

[passitsideways]

I think Westwood would be perfectly fine as a first-choice starter in the Championship, but only if there's another midfielder who can force the issue in the final third. That player we may be yet to sign, or it could be Bacuna or Grealish (or Gil, if somehow he doesn't leave this summer.)

Helenius scored tonight

Helenius scored tonight

He also tweeted on Tuesday "come on Villa today"

New manager could mean another bite of the cherry next season. I quite liked Helenius from what I'd seen in the pre-season. There's potential there. Hopefully he comes back fit and firing in the next pre-season. Ditto Libor.

GG scored a belter  and Stuart Pearce said that's what you get with him!

[Dave]

That was his goal against Reading the previous week rather than the one against Boro yesterday

[oldtimernow]

sorry this one then

if TC decides for Goodison then GG will find a home back here to be sure if he continues to do this

[peter w]

Which was another belter

[silhillvilla]

Callum Robinson scored a nice goal too yesterday.
