Burnley have apparently stated an interest in signing Westwood if they get promoted. Let me know when the window opens I will drive him up there myself.

Westwood gets a rough time, grafts, and doesn't stop, and to be fair to him, he has never hidden. Not like most the others.
He is not world class, probably not prem class. But he has never said he is!
It's the other numpties we need rid of.
I'm not saying I want to keep Westwood, far from it! Just feel he is an escape goat, when he is playing to best of his limited ability, when we have so many others who never turn up, try or keep their heads down.
They could learn a lot from him regarding professionalism.
Never in the limelight, good or bad.
Never on social media.
Head down doing his best.

Can the rest say the same??

Well said flackie mate. Westwood may not be a world beater but he keeps his head down and does his best. I'd keep him for the championship, probably better suited to that level.

we need a new midfield, he has been at villa 3to4yrs adds nothing, seems nice person but another PL buy who needs to go, too weak and small for championship.

I think he should go, don't get me wrong, I also think he was a poor buy, even by our recent standards.
However, as I have said, it's his ability that let's him down, not his work rate, desire, or antics.
And, here is the kicker, our scouts brought him because of his ability.
Perhaps they are where we should be aiming our frustration.

Flakie well said but he's just not good enough to play like all others but fair comment.

I agree!!!
But the annoying thing is, he tries to!
Can we honestly say, except for gana, and veratout, (so only talking his position) that they can all say that?

That's not looking at strikers, or our defence!

Yet always, he is the guy singled out.
Let's remember, our scouts brought him, they told him he is good enough for prem! He was way below.

What I'm trying to say, and badly i know, is we all know we are siht, including those players.
We will never know, if the rest had stepped up, and put the work rate that Westwood has in, we might of at least given survival a go.

Personally I think they should all leave, and all get grief. But for me, the last guy I would point a finger at his him.

It's a squad game and as it stands, Westwood is good squad player and not on stupid money, think we're a bit too harsh on him, look at the crap he's surrounded by?

UTV.

So many games I haven't noticed him which in truth is not too bad a thing for his position. I would probably keep him as a reserve. Certainly not really able to get into many premier league teams. He is however one of the squad who has maintained his dignity, respectfull on and off the pitch and is one of the few I would wish well.

Well that caused a bit of a kerfuffle! Best summed up as a nice kid who just hasn't quite got the talent we would expect of a Villa midfielder. Definitely not though in the same mould as the rest of the work shy prima donnas masquerading as villa players. A good pro. As I write this I am reminded that a certain Mr B Bannan has made it into the Championship team of the season so maybe there is hope for Ar Ashley!

Westwood is one of the only true professionals we have, not exploding with talent no but is the sort of heart the club needs. Not good enough for the prem. We're not in the prem anymore. I've never disliked him and as flackie said he's being used as a scapegoat.
It's these 'proven top flight' players that have been the issue this year just simply not trying
Give the lad a break, he's never once given up on the club or himself even with his 'lack of ability'.
