Just read a rumour that Burnley are preparing a bid for Westwood as a replacement for Joey Barton. But he would have to take a cut to his £35,000 a week salary.
I am willing to chip in to make up the shortfall anyone else want to help make it happen? TAXI!

Totally unfair!
This guy might not be ronaldo or messi, but he never said he was, he gave all he could, every week, he never hid in games, and always seems to be blamed as the fans escape goat.
Of all the useless crap in that squad, he wouldn't be one I would be pushing out the door first, and in fact, the championship might just be where he was to shine.

The constant criticism he fits is not warranted.
Every club needs a joey Barton in that league, we don't have one, but another club is saying he is a good alternative, and we are once again willing to risk egg on our faces!?

Hear hear Flackie, there's plenty of others in our squad that deserve to take a pay cut to clear off to anywhere but B6, if asked, think Westwood would be up for getting us back to where we belong, get off his back and get behind him.

UTV.

I don't think he's a great player but he gives 100 % of himself in every game
In short, there are far more deserving causes for your ridicule and scorn.

He may give 100% but simply not good enough if rather have a good player get a 7 every game than a not so good player get 5 every game although can fault effort.

That's not the point. The point is, he is the constant target for people, and I disagree, I don't think he deserves the siht he gets, and actually, I would rather a team full of Westwoods, giving their all, and working their socks off for the team, even if they don't have the best talent, than a team full of a gabby, Richards, lescotts, and gustedes all the ability in the world, yet no desire, energy or fight.

I'm not too fussed whether 'the crab' stays or goes. Combined with sanchez (Carlos) they make 1 decent player.

People moan when he plays it side to side but if that's how his being instructed to play an the whole teams doing it he can't just be singled out, always give his all and doesn't stop till the final whistle, think he'll be quality in the championship just as long as they don't let him take corners for gods sake.

Then again think we need to sign some one who can take corners because I don't think any of them can.

This is not a personal attack on Ashley and I would agree that there are many others worthy of criticism. The unarguable truth is that he has never shone in a very poor squad of players. I would cheer him for the full 90 if he showed me the ability needed to drag Villa back to the Prem and then keep us there. As yet I have only seen a player with desire and a professional attitude that many others at the club lack. But he also lacks the qualities needed as we look to rebuild and look forward to our bright future.

Giving 100% when you are on £35,000 a week isn't enough! Giving your all shouldn't even be in doubt it should just be a bare minimum! For me Westwood along with all our midfielders last season let's games pass them by! For me personally I'd let them all ( Sanchez, Westwood, Vertout, Gana I appreciate spelling may be in correct) go if offers are put to the club for me the only one who is championship ready and proven at that level is Gary Gardner, and I would like to see him give a fair crack! And in all fairness we could have done far worse than beating rangers to Bartons signature.

Veretout and Gana won't stay and Sanchez has told press at the Cops America that he will be returning to VP after the tournament. Whatever that means.
Gardener must at least be given a chance. Forest are keen to sign him so why let him go.

Westwood is poor so take what we can get, 1 good game in 5yrs.

Tell you what, let's sell him for more than we paid for him, replace him with someone comparable or better then 50% of people will be happy, and hope you go and smash it somewhere else Ashley because life's too short to be having people disrespect you for actually trying in a team of poisonous mercenaries who that 50% probably welcomed to our club, end of 😤

UTV.

Agree with you Chard none of them are good enough with possibbly Vertout being a "maybe" Quite simply they aren't good enough! Westwood is a worker but never will be åt thé level we need, Sanchez is conning a career in football thé Beach would be a better Place for him to stroll around!

Before we start ditching Westwood let's remember Steve Davies, now at Saints and showing real class at the Euros, players like Westwood do what they are coached to do! Remember this guy was playing for Crewe and got thrown into a poor Premiership team and expected to be the next Gordon Cowans or whatever for us! Give him a break, let him be coached by the right team we have in place now and build a half decent, hard working and creative team around him. And lastly if we want to criticise anyone it's players like: Guzan, Bunn, Lescott, Richards, Bacuna (Absolute joke) N'Zogbia, Crespo, Agbonlahor, Sinclair (to a point) Grealish (poor attitude) Sanchez (for doing some awesome midfield work but then poorly giving possession away to often) and does anyone know where Kozak is? Surely a season in the championship would be good for a fit goalscorer like him?

I would hope that Bacuna never goes anywhere near VP!
He along with Richards, Lescott, Guzan, Gabby, need to go as they are responsible for the awful attitude on the pitch and off. Add Bunn, Sanchez, Sinclair, Gestede for a lack of talent shown in a claret and blue shirt.
I put it to my fellow long suffering Villa fans that we need hunger and desire in the dressing room. Players who have a point to prove for one reason or another. Players of any age and forgetting their past players who can give us something to cheer about. It could be a Joey Barton type or a Joey Essex just get the right kind of player to wear the shirt.
Thinking about it a few of our current lot make Joey Essex look like a member of MENSA.
