Might be just me but I'm still not completely convinced. Certainly has great technique but not sure he's physical (or mobile) enough to provide strong cover in defensive midfield? It would be nice to have the option of a really physical DM, I suppose that's Nakamba though...

You're maybe right on the physical side, but I think his game is based more on swift interceptions than blood and thunder tackling.  I think you're wrong on the mobility side though, he showed back end of last season he's very mobile in my opinion.  I think this season he's just been told to rein it in a bit, as we've got lot of attacking midfielders more than happy to surge forward.

I was going to say that he's good, but is he man citeh 'good'. However, the way things have gone so far, come the end of the season the question might just be "yeah, but is he Aston Villa 'good'?"

I've a feeling ( probably just naive optimism ) that Man City will let us buyout the clause, because they'll have signed other players and need to appease ffp.

We could be in the strange situation where they don’t want him back, but exercise the clause just to sell him on. Or they effectively sell him again to us by asking us to pay off the clause... The players contract would be irrelevant in respect to the buy back clause, I expect.

I was just thinking the same. Can’t see a new contract for Dougie gazumping the option Man City have. Otherwise we’d have just given him a new contract on Day 1 when he signed

Annoyed that he is the player going back on corners.  It takes him out of the equation to hit a screamer from the set play
