I think Louie Barry needs to look beyond a year of his contract at Villa.

To me, it looks like he's joining us permanently at the end of the season, subject to passing a medical. When fit, he needs to be playing regularly and we seem to be best placed to develop him.

If he's offfered a 3 or 4 year deal by us or another Club in league 1 or the Championship, then surely he has to do this to move forward with his career?

Alun Armstrong and Tony Dinning left Newcastle to join us and their careers took off.

Having said that, if he is on £35k a week, that is a lot of money to walk away from!
