According to the daily mail, Aston Villa want to sign him, he's out of contract in the sumer, personally this will be a good move for him because he needs first team football, he's only23 years old and he's been out on loan for far too long. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Aston-Villa-eye-Ritchie-De-Laet.html?ITO=1490 do you think he will be a success at Villa park ?
When we first signed him, he was apparently not very good. Only coming in to captain the youth team etc, because he knew most of the players from Antwerp. Maybe it's not that difficult to "anglicise" even a mediocre player.
He got sent back from a year long loan from Norwich and wasn't breaking into the first team. At best he'll get into a mid table team and get a few games. Just my opinion.
He returned from Norwich because of injury. Whenever I have seen him though, he seems to have a heck of a lot of talent.
