He's really matured into his role with us. He always showed he was capable but I think it took him time to adjust to the tempo here. He's been fantastic for quite a while now.
Are we still at risk of Man City taking him back?

I read somewhere that if he signs a new contract at Villa (with a hefty pay-rise no doubt) the buy-back clause with Man City is erased.

Interesting, I'd always assumed that the contract for the sale of the player, and the players own employment contract would be two completely different legal documents.
