Scott Sinclair - now gone

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

A loan is the right deal.
If he shows he's prepared to work hard to resurrect his career and use his skills to move The Villa up the table then the deal can be a more permanent one.
If he doesn't then ManCi£y can have him back on their payroll and we can spend the money on another player.
Win win I reckon.

[Gregorys Boy]

2mill is nothing in todays prices, but he has to prove himself first.  I go along with the thought that he can't be any worse than what we currently have out wide.

[Phil from the upper holte]

If true I'm happier with a loan deal than a permanent one. It might encourage him to put in more effort. Also hope it frees up some cash for another player.

I wouldn't hold your breath

[Chris Smith]

Agree with all the caveats above but he is exactly the type of player we need so fingers crossed that he gets his out and decides he wants to be remembered for something other than being Mr Sophie Webster.

[Dante Lavelli]

Did he play much at WBA? 

The way my head works, is that I would be happy to coast if the opportunity was there (Sinclair at Man City) but if I knew I was playing I would be busting a gut to make sure I did not let anyone down or make a tit of myself on the pitch.  It sounds a bit 'chicken and egg', but he might need the pressure of first team football to put in the extra effort.

I do not know too much about him - does he play on the left or right wing ?

left back?

[Tuscans]

Kinda reminds me of Tom Ince, the hype never matched the football.

[mrfuse]

Hopefully it will at the least get Gabby to start playing as his place has never been under threat.

This does mean that (unless we’re about to buy Cleverley), we’ll have used up both our domestic loans for the season.

Dawkins and Holt aren't coming back. We will just all have to deal with it and get over it.

We'll be the 25 year old's 11th club

In that case time  to engage his brain and apply himself to get the best out of his  natural talent.  He is a lucky lad that he can play football and  so far he has managed to play for Premier League clubs including man city with all the talent they have so he needs to make the most out of this opportunity. Otherwise a wasted life......

[Damo70]

He was on loan at Small Heath at one point wasn't he?

I'd love to have wasted my life as badly as he has.
