Come on lads, time for a win. 

Great to see Adama back.

we're playing goddam Luton, we shouldn't be acting like scarred sheep in a wolf's den ffs.

We're like that against every team these days. 

There's like a deep rooted curse/sickness within the Villa and it still hasn't gone away. Such a lack of guts from the players. 

Only Villa could make Luton Town look like Barcelona. 

Why exactly is Gardner playing again? Simply awful again. To be fair they've been getting past our defence every time. 

Ouch, a bit wild from Ross there. 

I think that's the first time I've seen him smile lately. 

Full credit to Ayew, determined to get that in the net. Bravo. 

If true (which I doubt) the Diawara deal shows interesting intent at the very least, although I know he's been targeted by a few Italian sides who would arguably be a more exciting prospect for him right now. 

Agent Dave knows a guy who knows another guy whose Uncle polishes the shoes of Dr Tony's second cousin. 

Tony on twitter as become one of my favourite things since the takeover, I love it. It feels like forever since we had this sort of openness regarding goings on at Villa Park. 

I to would guess its Ravel.

He was the best thing I saw all game against Wednesday. I'd been told he was a solid signing for us in the Championship but was impressed by his determination and leadership, I just got the impression there were some players on that pitch who weren't that bothered. 

Sad to see the mentality still hurting us. 

Referee been very lenient on him today, should have been off ages ago.

Couldn't agree more with what Sherwood at to say regarding the buying foreign players, simply better value. It's one of the biggest problems we have with the English leagues. 

 

We created 78 pages before Veretout officially signed.

 

We're at 59 at the moment. I wonder how many it will be before it is on the OS.

 

78 including fish puns?

 

Haven't played FM is a good while, all I hear about it now is how unbalanced it is and how bug ridden the game is. Tend to stick with FIFA's Career Mode. 

That Graham Hunter talk with Sky Sports is on the Transfer Centre, interesting to hear what he at to say about the lad. Its exciting but he's still young and might need to be given sometime to adjust to the move, hopefully fans will appreciate that. 

If he as a successful couple of seasons at Villa Park, I'd much rather have him return to Barcelona than spend a year listening/reading the so called sports media running a campaign against us like they seem so often willing to do.

I don't know, that apparent buy-out clause isn't to bad. Your stupid to think Barcelona would let him go without some sort of future purchase option for him, might not have gotten into the Barca first team but playing in the Premier League might help develop the lad into a real star. Only 19 after all.

Makes sense to me. 

According to Twitter (I know, take with a pinch of salt) apparently Traore as passed is medical and move could be announced later today via some Spanish press. Wait and see till we see him holding a Villa shirt or its announced by AVFC Official. 

He can even dribble the ball without being bullied off it all the damn time, feels like most talented ball dribblers are usually on the weak side. Sinclair, Young, great players but are often to easily pushed around. 

Looks like I need to start another FIFA career mode. It's getting harder and harder to actually afford the transfers of these players

I know right, to be fair Veretout as probably been one of the best signings I've made in my career mode. 

Oh Pool fans, you never fail to amuse, on Twitter just read that because it appears he might be close to joining us, that Liverpool must not have been in for him at all because who would reject Liverpool... who would ever do such a thing... ever! 

Being reported on the Sky Sports Transfer Centre now. To many outlets running with this now, there as to be something solid to it.
