O'Neill praises strikerAston Villa manager Martin O'Neill thinks new signing John Carew has the potential to be a big hit at the club.
He said: "Carew is better than a decent player,"
"If he can stay fit, he will be a decent acquisition to us and I have been very encouraged in the three games so far.
"It is very early but the crowd have taken to him. He is 27 and I don't see why he should not be reaching his peak at Aston Villa.
"Villa have had some fabulous centre-forwards over the years without a doubt, I think back to my friend Peter Withe. If John does half as well as Peter Withe, I'll be happy.
"He proved himself in Spanish football but he wanted to compete in the Premiership.
"I think he can adjust to the Premiership and it has been a positive start."
