"He is an excellent midfielder, who can play in a number of positions. This is important for the team, and I am looking forward to seeing him play for us. We have a very strong squad, and this signing is a very important one for us.
"James is already a very good player, who has proved he can play at the very top level. But he is also young and a good character, I think he can also improve and be a great player for Manchester City for a long time."
He added: "I hope things go well for Stevie [Ireland] at Villa. He is also a very good player, and he has played a big part in City's history.
"I think he will enjoy the change of being at another club, and I hope he does well for Aston Villa."
