I really don't understand the Gabby hate. I know he doesn't contribute as much as we'd like, but the way some people here talk about him I can only imagine he is **** their wives.
If he doesn't contribute, what use is he? He may be 'Villa through and through', but fans sit in the stands, players on the pitch - age old rule ;-)

Yeah, but at least Gabby is always match fit...

Michu's personal issues...
Article includes interesting Sherwood reference possibly lending credence, especially given Tim's fondness for reinvigorating lost souls:
"To think, there was a running joke at Tottenham’s training ground a couple of seasons ago whereby Pat Jennings, Tim Sherwood and other members of the coaching staff would hear news of another goal at Swansea and tell each other: 'Don’t mention Michu.'
Back then, in the 2012-13 campaign, Tottenham, along with half a dozen other clubs, cringed about their decision to ignore a Spanish agent who did the rounds in pre-season."

He's also a baggage ridden punt, if you'll excuse the term.

Michu whispers - http://elcorreoweb.es/deportes-betis/el-aston-villa-un-duro-competidor-por-michu-JC675830
First found via a Wales online link here: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/swansea-city-transfer-news-aston-9892896
...where they summarise the Spanish story by saying: "Seville based news organisation El Decano Deportivo say : "In the last hours, a bid from Aston Villa has quite seduced the former Rayo Vallecano striker because he wants to continue in the Premier League.”
But Spanish national newspaper Marca say Real Betis technical director Eduardo Macia has been combing the market for an attacker to play alongside Ruben Castro and Jorge Molina, adding that Michu is his top target.
The report says: “Subject to economic conditions, a free transfer could be agreed for the man who has spent most of the last year recovering from injury in his home city of Oviedo."

It's actually funny watching how good he is compared to all the lifeless dross we've had to put up with for years.
This is just a dream isn't it, we didn't really just sign a Barcelona winger, did we?
I remember thinking for the past 5 years every Saturday, pleeeeease do something interesting before you pass the ball sideways and lose it, oh, oh, you couldn't manage it - okay then, I'll shut up and slip back into this endless misery coma zzzzzzzzzzzzz

From Wiki
"During a league game against FC Bayern Munich, in the opening match of 2013–14, Domínguez handled the ball to concede a penalty, which was saved. He then handled the ball again from the rebound, giving away a second penalty in an eventual 1–3 away loss."
Could be Guzan's replacement?

Randy Lerner's free spending this summer has dashed all talk of comparisons with former penny pinching supremo, Douglas Irbid Ellis.
LOL you sure? what has he spent aside from the money received in fees?
Look closely and you will find another cunningly hidden middle eastern pun, Rich!

Saud-ly not!?
Are you being Syrias?Iraq'd my brain to figure out the pun here.
Our trio of Jordans are producing football more exciting than watching Gaza Strip.

Well, if there is a silver lining to getting up at 5 in the morning it's waking up to rumours of someone wanting Richardson. Go team Boilesen
Having had various trial periods with clubs such as Manchester United, Fiorentina and Chelsea, and with his Brøndby contract expiring in December 2009, Boilesen agreed a move to the Netherlands, with Ajax paying Brøndby 4 million DKK in compensation (roughly €500.000).[4] Followed by a number of top European clubs, Boilesen chose Ajax on advice from fellow Danish youth international and Ajax player Christian Eriksen.[5] Signing a 4-year contract, binding him to the club until the Summer of 2013, he initially joined the youth ranks where his first season with Ajax was stalled by injuries. Once recovered he solidified a starting position for Ajax A1, the clubs' under-19 team, and even made appearances for the reserves team willy Jong Ajax.

How ready is he in terms of first team action?

Welcome Señor,
You might just be the guy who rouses this giant from his prolonged siesta!
Arriba, Arriba!

I shall be out in Central (East) London and looking for a local pub to watch the game - any Villa chaps around?

Where there is weeping and gnashing of tooth (singular).Tonev and N'Zogbia don't deserve second chances. They deserve to be cast into the fiery pits of Small Heath.
Like the image Ponk, but is it technically possible to 'gnash' a single tooth?

1982. Aged 10. 1am, stood in the public square outside our budget hotel. Eating chips and mayonnaise with my old man after we finally found the ground and Morley found Withe. Still can't quite believe it!

He is indeed - perhaps Tim wants us to score from corners again, whatever next!

Great news Leigh! Which hospital? Could be useful for future reference!

Maybe the reddit guy was right afterall....
What did he say mate?
Something along the lines of "Kozak will go out on loan, Sherwood wants Lennon but Spurs don't want to loan him out, and we don't want to buy him. We've beaten Stoke and Liverpool for Traore"
Gonna try and find the link cheers.
If anyone's got it can you post it please.
Got it - https://m.reddit.com/r/avfc/comments/3gd84t/kozak_to_be_loaned_out/
Read back though this thread Frank

If true, this would be the most exciting signing of our already 'interesting' summer.
Would also mean the Reddit chap rubbished a few pages back may well be the real deal.
We'll see...

Do not rate Lennon in the slightest
Me either. He's a complete headless chicken with little to no end product.
What might be a useful contribution from a complete headless chicken?

As a matter of interest, on the dawn of this new season, how many are prepared to come out now and confess their likely outrage at 5pm tomorrow, if we have just lost?
Is anyone brave enough to admit their seething anger right now, or will you save it for tomorrow, when Veretout misplaces a pass?

Lennon was fantastic for Everton last season.
He always seems to get a bit of stick does Lennon, his end product has never been the best but he does deliver with much more regularity than people think. His career has been a bit up and down granted, with various injuries over the years and being in and out the side, but it wouldn't be unusual for him to get 8-10 assists in a season. I believe the main issue stems from him being overused for England and thus compared unfairly to the player he replaced for them. Who happened to be the best right sided midfielder in the world.
Tottenham fans rate him. Everton fans loved him. He's 28, he frightens defenders, carries the ball well and is capable of chipping in with 4/5 goals and 7/8 assist no trouble. He's not as selfish a player as he once was. He's experienced and a good player. For £5m he'd be a bargain.
Well argued DDID and quite persuasive, not least because he represents 'a known quantity', which is perhaps part of Tim's thinking with so many wild cards currently in the pack. That said, if you had to choose, Traore or Lennon?

I think your use of 'hate' is misplaced, more 'fed up' or 'irritated'. If Gabby had a brain to inform where he ran or what he did when he got there, we'd all be a lot more forgiving. He's definitely trying, though - I'll give him that!
