I know how much this forum absolutely loves a Motherwell thread! 
Dean Smith has confirmed Villa’s forgotten man Ross McCormack is close to another loan switch.
The £12million striker is back in the UK and understood to be nearing a return to former club Motherwell.
McCormack, who has not played for Villa for 15 months, had begun the season on loan with Australian club Central Coast Mariners before suffering a knee injury.
Smith is yet to actually meet the 32-year-old, who has netted just three Villa goals since joining in a big money move from Fulham in August 2016, with assistants Richard O’Kelly and John Terry responsible for keeping tabs on the club’s loan players.
But the boss admitted McCormack could soon be on the move again.
He said: “I believe there could be another loan in order (for Ross).
“I have not spoken to him. I have not actually met him yet. Richard O’Kelly has three or four players on loan he keeps in touch with. JT has the others.
“They keep me updated with what is happening with them. I’m led to believe there could be a deal close.”
