Be interesting to see how the stats look at the end of the season. A couple of villa "mates" of mine reckon he's losing interest and his performances are dipping over recent weeks.
IMO he'll move to a big boy at the end of the season regardless of whether they stay up or not. No question imo.
Worth adding the number of minutes into that too, imagine Harvey and Ali’s are vastly lower than Greasy. They are however playing with much better players around them.
Better players around him would mean he doesn't have the licence to do what ever he wants and pay where ever he wants.
Speaking to my Vile pal a few weeks back and he was saying he would struggle to play a defined role. His value comes from being a big fish in a small pond and having the pressure to wins games alone. He takes all free kicks, corners etc. He drops deep to collect the ball on the transition and he floats about in dangerous areas when attacking. In a Utd or Spurs team he would have players who are as good if not better vying for such a role which would leave him playing left midfield.
I don't think his performances or influence would be quite as impressive then.
