Think he needs a fresh start away from the 30+ year old men who spend their weekdays worrying about a football player to the point it becomes abusive. Especially on twitter, never known a player to be ridiculed so much. You should go and read back some of your posts about Sherwood. Unless you're under 30 and then you consider that acceptable.

Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Just been asked by a Burnley fan for my thoughts. Told him that Westwood has struggled for us, has no confidence and a lot of the time tries the easy route - but will also try for long balls down the flanks. Really not much else I can say about it, but he also said to me that Lowton has been fantastic for them, I remember telling him Lowton struggles from right back, he now can't wait to see Westwood! Think that hit a nerve with me, wonder why Lowton was so poor! Edited January 31, 2017 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in a great cross, good on the ball, just lacked pace...but if he is being protected not so much an issue. He was very unhappy here and was commuting from Sheffield. Not good for anybody that.

Lowton was told he had to relocate closer to Villa and his missus was a clearing in the woods about it wasnt she? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaninireland Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 He was told to move nearer to training ground & then snuck off back to live in Sheffield. He got found out when there was a traffic jam on the M1 & didn't make it to training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted January 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) SOLD Dammit... Beaten to it! But seriously wish him well. Didn't want him at Villa anymore, but there were A LOT of worse players who have worn the shirt and disgraced it more. Edited January 31, 2017 by cyrusr Beaten to the post...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nothing against him, but for me, the most ineffective player i have ever had the misfortune to watch in a Villa shirt.Don't think the shambles that the club was in during RL tenure would have helped his confidence, but as a player i am struggling to think of any redeemable qualities.£5m ..........thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Quote Ashley Westwood has left Villa to join Burnley. The midfielder heads to Turf Moor until 2020. Westwood joined us from Crewe in the summer of 2012 and made 22 appearances this season – and 161 in total, scoring five goals. Good luck for the future, Ashley. https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/01/31/westwood-departs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
