I still think we can get 15m for him given there are clubs talking to him and his reputation when he joined.

Given how well Taylor has settled in at LB he's the most obvious player to sell for decent money without weakening our first team.

I think he will be a very good player with a couple of seasons regular football, but he is one of the only players we'll realistically get a good fee for and other areas of the team need more work.

I think it might come down to negotiating a good sell-on and probably getting a deal highly dependent on number of appearances/international caps etc. He's still very much a hopeful punt for whoever comes in for him. He's talented but has definitely regressed since his injury and our demotion so it's hard to know what his potential is and if it can be realised.

He's a defender that can't defend and wimps out of challenges way too easily. He makes Nicky Shorey look like a world-beater.

Get as much as we can for him, but ship him out pronto.

Is the right answer

At a push we might get back the 9 million we paid

I thought he had bags of potential before his injury, yes bad error at Palace but he was lightening quick and set up 3 goals for Gestede in 6 weeks.

Injury has knocked him, probably lost half a yard, crossing isn't anything to write home about and he just looked average at championship level.

Sometimes you just have to weigh things up and make a business decision. We can't keep on spending 50m + every season in the championship after all.

Shame, but as others have said not as good as we thought, he thinks. Problem we will have a lot of if we don't come up next season

He makes the likes of Hutton look like Cafu and Neil Taylor like John Robson/Colin Gibson

He came over here to play in the Premier League and he probably would have stayed had we got straight back up. Can't say I blame him too much really.

Ship out pronto for as much as possible - he might be a decent player but at the moment he is scared to tackle so absolutely no use.  Might be that he was shirking challenges as he didn't want to jeopardise a move this summer but he clearly has no interest in playing for us.

Apart from the cross for JustHead's goal at Bournemouth and his run against Wolves, there's nothing much about his time at Villa that I'll remember

Awful player.

I hope we did not turn down >£20m for him last season as I will be shocked if we get back what we paid for him this summer.

Gestede, Vertout, Amavi, Traore, and Ayew - have we ever wasted so much money on such underwhelming players in one summer before? Lets hope we shift the remaining ones out this summer.
