Had to say something about this lad as I played with him in an international soccer tournament in 2010! Had the absolute luck of one of Aston Villa's players pulling out and as I was playing for the local side that ran the tournament got a call up to Villa... Anyway on Harry Forester he is exactly the kind of player we should be looking at! Very confident, great vision, natural born leader well liked by everyone and a good finisher too! I was really surprised to see that Villa let him go as he was the one that stood out for me in front of Albrighton, Delfouneso and Cairan Clark! Hope he signs!
If your assessment is correct, might it mean there is another issue that made Villa let him go? Attitude?? Seem unlikely if he was well liked by all. Perhaps a Villa error.
