Aston Villa manager has hit out at the agent of defender Curtis Davies over his recent comments regarding talks over a new contract.

The 24-year-old is currently sidelined following shoulder surgery, with Davies two appearances short of a 60-appearance mark which would trigger a new deal.

However, O'Neill is less than impressed that Davies' agent has seen fit to make this situation public.

He said: "I always thought that it was private information with a contract, but if the agent of a player chooses to divulge them then that's entirely up to them.

"He's due a re-negotiation of a contract if he plays 60 games.

"I don't really want to bring this into the public domain, but I think that we've pretty well looked after players here at this football club - both injured players and players who have done very well for the football club.

"We had some conversations with the agent and really, at the end of it all, the agent knows where we stand and what we were looking at.

"He has chosen now to come out and tell these things and that's entirely up to him."
