Will remain a Villa player until January transfer window as the loan system is also closed.
No loan deals done outwith the transfer window is the new rule starting this season.
Basically you can sign on loan only in the Summer transfer window which has just closed.

Of course not , good players, but as Frankie says the grass is not always greener etc, admittedly they will have bigger lawns now with the increased pay packets.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

That grass isn't always greener cliche implies that the players in this instance were actively seeking moves away. I think we all know that that is far from the truth with any of them, even Taylor until the end. Chris Wood is the one who was 100% wanting to move and he doesn't seem to get many such jibes aimed at him
Mowatt will be remembered for scoring some superb goals but most of us felt he needed to push on. Sad but I'm happy enough for him if he manages to continue his career as a player. Byram's been a disappointment for WHU I suspect, McCormack's gone off the rails which, for a Championship player, is just a shame and sad. I watched Taylor in his debut and honestly thought he looked more than decent. Cook I've hardly seen but just about everyone reckons he will make a big success for himself.

Not sure I said that. I said Mowatt wasn't good enough when we sold him and got shot down on Twitter. Byram, I never felt was good enough for the PL, as he flattered to deceive after the season he had under Colin and I wasn't too bothered when he left. Cook has lost a year of development and another year of the odd League Cup appearance for Bournemouth reserves while sat in the stands every Saturday, will just push him back further. I cant help but look at Simon Walton, who was a regular at 17, then moved to PL, never got a chance and fell down the leagues after numerous loans. I'm hoping the same doesn't happen to Cook, as he's too talented to go to waste. Taylor is 24 now and can't afford a season sat on the bench, but he's got a job to do to remove Stephen Ward from the Burnley team. I just think those three players won't fulfill the potential they could have had. We overhype academy players too quickly and they say they will all play for England, but only Rose, Milner, Lennon and Delph have done in the last 15 years or so.
Did Walton go a Prem League club? Blimey I don't remember that. He always had lead in his boots but I remember someone telling me about his first unofficial game, a friendly v Valencia at ER I think, he said he was 'immense' and a sure bet for future glory.
, good players, but as Frankie says the grass is not always greener etc, admittedly they will have bigger lawns now with the increased pay packets.
