Aston Villa: Postma wants out!

Aston Villa keeper Stefan Postma is to hand in a transfer request because of his frustration at a lack of first-team football.

The 28-year-old made clear his intentions to Villa manager David O'Leary in a meeting on Monday and was reported to follow that up with a written request to leave the West Midlands club.

The Dutch player has made only one first-team appearance this season when he impressed in the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal but was instantly back on the substitutes bench after Thomas Sorensen recovered from a back problem.

Postma has been a popular figure at Villa Park since his arrival in a 1million move from De Graafschap in the summer of 2002.

But he has decided to look for a new club after being axed for the clash with Fulham after his heroics at Highbury.

he must have realised and thought to himself.

'look, i aint ever gonna be first choice, what keeping me here' maybe a return back to where he from?
