In fairness, he's come back this summer looking a lot leaner and seems very hungry. i watched him play in the week and he played very well, possibly the best player in the team. He played again yesterday but was disappointing (not more than any other player though)
Personally, I would let go for around £5/£6 million and take it on the chin as he will not be starting when there is a full squad to pick from £50k a week is too much of a luxury for a substitute

The problem with that is that nobody will give you £5/£6m for him given his recent problems, let alone pay him £50k per week, in which case he's likely to be earning that money off Villa for some time to come.
A mad signing for that money in the first place.
