Aston Villa fans react to Andre Green departure on loan

Published on August 2, 2019

Aston Villa’s Andre Green has joined Championship side Preston North End on a season-long loan – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are delighted.

The Midlands giants confirmed on their official website on Thursday that the attacker has linked up with Preston for the 2019/20 campaign.

With a wave of new signing since Villa’s promotion to the Premier League, it makes sense for there to be plenty of exits too.

Green has departed on loan and will be hoping to make a major impact at Deepdale.

The 21-year-old is a product of the Villa academy and he’s already felt the benefit of the loan system in the past.

He spent the first half of last season impressing with Portsmouth in League One, before returning to Villa in January and helping the club earn promotion via the Championship play-offs.

The quick left-winger scored five goals in just 12 games for Portsmouth and made a positive impression when he was integrated to Dean Smith’s squad too.

A selection of Villa supporters on social media are convinced a loan in the Championship is perfect for their youngster.

The competition for wide places has only cranked up following the signings of Jota and Trezeguet.

Here are some Villa fans commenting on Green:

He’s going to come back a beast next season

Wow didn’t expect that! Good luck Andre. Big future is a possibility

All the best Andre. The right decision as not quite Prem standard just yet. But a full season of regular football under his belt and he could fulfill his potential and then push on to the next level.
