To be honest, I think Villa only bought him because we didn't do a lot transfer-wise in January. The fact that he's only made 2 first-team appearances since then pretty much tells you all you need to know, particularly when you take into account the fact that we had a tiny squad last season.

agree there. It's amazing though that he has been at Spurs for 4 years, albeit with a few loan spells and now is at Villa. He's probably already a millionaire by now and he's a rubbish footballer who would struggle in League One.
One time at Palace within the first 5 mins of the game he was one on one with the keeper and got it wrong and the keeper took the ball off him. He spent the rest of the half going no where near the ball and had to be taken off 5 mins into the second half as he wouldn't touch the ball
