Time to go on a massive bender!

I think Alan Wright's probably the most handsome left-back we've ever had, Staunton's also right up there, don't give up Joe, you'll get there one day.

You'd knock a pint over just so your glass wasn't near being half full.

How good is that Timo Horn we were allegedly scouting? Sometimes I judge players on how cool they look rather than ability. Veretout for example has that cool beard that doesn't need sculping to look good, I then think, yeah, would like to see him in the shirt. Horn looks much cooler than Guzan so I'd like him in too. Anyone else slightly prejudiced on signings based on looks?

We better sign Zlatan. I still remember finding out Sneijder wasn't signing for us. Don't play with my emotions Ibra!

Looks like he's filled out a bit.

The header at 1:28 is fantastic. Some quality crosses in too.

She is indeed Sign for Villa Benzema. No, sorry. Ahhhh go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on.

You've peaked too soon. We'll expect that calibre from now on. I might just retire before I become the next Michael Ricketts.

I've got more likes than posts now, I've gone all giddy. Just need Veretout confirmed so I can crack open a can.

His hand holding the shirt is white and I'm pretty certain Adebayor is a lot taller than Veretout so I'd be amazed if it was him as they both look the same size in the pic.

That certainly looks like him. As don't_do_it_doug suggested. Check out the footwear. Looks nailed on.

Yessssssssssssssssssss!

Where's the dislike button?

He's got 3 years left on his deal and amazingly he'll only be 31/32 when that ends! I honestly thought he was around that age now. If he's planning on being at Villa for the rest of his career then he's either going to retire pretty young or he'll after take a huge pay-cut come 2018. Given that he's 28 you would have thought that he'd have pushed on more and developed as a player. I'm not sure if he was just comfortable and coasting but now he has a real fight on his hands to even make the bench if Adebayor and Gestede are signing, with Ayew and Grealish now establishing himself, Gabby is way down the pecking order. He's still at an age where he should have something to offer, given his wages and lack of pulling up any trees the past few seasons he won't be easy to move on so I think our best hope is that all this new competition gives him a massive kick up the arse and forces him to step his game up to the sort of promising levels he was showing in his early 20's. If he really does want to end his career here, for the first time in a good few years he's going to seriously have to work for that outcome. I would love him to retire here but it's not going to be handed to him on a plate any longer.

Because we still havent seen this... How about this?

He's as blind to the goings on at Villa as Stevie Wonder is.

If he ends up with us, we'll all be cleaning up 'eggtoplasm', Stan Marsh's or our own. I'm surprised you can hold that image in your head without throwing a pizza party on your floor considering the epic bender you seem to be having. I'm finding it quite alarming that the thought of pizza is turning my stomach more than the other 'stuff'.

I haven't seen any of the pre-season at all but I too would hope he moves to RB when Okore is fit again. If he can't help himself with the bursts forward then whoever is holding midfielder is going to have to be more aware and just drop in at the back briefly whilst he goes off on one. Plenty of defenders do it, Jones, Smalling, Terry all like a random burst forward now and again, it's not a big deal so long as someone just drops back briefly. I'd much rather he just passed to a midfielder to set off an attack though instead. I'm glad we've signed him but that was me assuming he was coming in at RB. I haven't really seen him at CB so I'll reserve judgement until 4/5 games into the season at least.

Knowing you're alright makes me feel a little bit better. Thank you.

Right, I've a hangover of epic proportions, I've been for a number 2, 3 times today without eating a single thing. I have half a pizza that I'm too scared to go near for fear of hurling, I've got the sweats and am trying to sleep it off but failing to drop off because my heads pounding that much. The only bit of comfort I have is that this transfer might go through today. Can Villa please get this wrapped up in the next hour please, I believe it'll kick start my recovery and make everything right again. I'll even crack open a tinnie when it's confirmed I'm that confident it'll heal me. Pray for me people, yes it'll be nice to have a promising, shit-hot youngster coming in but wouldn't it make you feel even happier knowing you helped raise me up from the depths of hell and the borderline of death. Eurgh!
