# Aston Villa: Fans flock to news about Guilbert

**Lots of Aston Villa fans have been talking about some news involving Frederic Guilbert that emerged on social media.**

Guilbert has [recently talked about his future at Aston Villa](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-frederic-guilbert-20477018). He described Matty Cash to be a ‘good player’ for Villa, saying that the club have paid a lot of money to bring the Englishman to the club. While the defender is currently on loan at Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, he said that it is the manager’s choice and if things don’t work out for him, he will have to leave Villa permanently.

The [Frenchman made it clear](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-frederic-guilbert-20477018) that he likes it at Strasbourg, but he is a Villain and he’s proud of it too.

Before he joined Strasbourg in the winter, the 26-year-old defender had failed to play even once in the Premier League for Dean Smith’s men. So far for the Ligue 1 side though, he has played nine times in the league. He has scored once and has three assists too ([As per Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/frederic-guilbert/leistungsdaten/spieler/354352)).

Last season for Villa though, Guilbert had been a regular at the back. He [played 25 Premier League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/frederic-guilbert/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/354352) games, getting two assists.
