Ah that is sad news.

I always rated him.

Probably been Villa's best and most consistant performer of recent years.

Isn't it just a twitter rumour as yet?

Nope - on BBC and Sky.

Poor guy.

Thoughts with him and his family.

Nope - on BBC and Sky.

Ah ****. Was really hoping this wasn't true.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Thinking of him and his family.

 

[Cena]

Cue people asking footballers for retweets to pray for him just to boost their own followers.

Horrible news, hope he gets better

 

[Saliba]

****. Terrible news, i really feel for him. Had a mate who passed away from Leukemia a few days after he turned 18. It's harrowing, I really hope he pulls through.

 

[DualityNSNO]

****! Pretty much the only consistent player that our national team, and Aston Villa, mind, have had in the last 5 years, or even more. Always, always rated him.

Sad news, really...

 

[BlueLlama]

I am thoroughly ashamed that my first thought was to transfer him out oy my fantasy league team.

All the best to him as well obviously

 

[teppic]

Jesus. Horrible news.

 

[Librarian]

Excellent player, sad news; hope he gets well.

 

[Dublintoff]

Hopefully it has been diagnosed early and will be able to get the treatment he needs to make a recovery.

Was a great player for Celtic.

 

[Clint Planet]

Dear oh dear. Dreadful for him and his family. Here's hoping he beats it.
