Rowett is EXACTLY what we need. He's tailored made for eradicating the mercenary, don't give a f**k culture we have had for the past 5 years. I have mate who is close to a few down the blues and they say no-one steps out of line with him. It actually frustrates the hell out of me that we are where we are and he is free and available. The added bonus of rubbing it in the bluenose's faces too would be priceless.

Can we just sack this one though and then do the give em loads of time thing?

This does feel like a milestone for the club

"He broke down again during his recovery period and, after 18 months out, was eased back into the side with two full and five substitute appearances at the end of last season, in which he scored seven goals. Jesus, that's decent

I am so happy (nothing personal against him)

Not fussed about the fee looking a bit OTT. For me, its the same as betting on the horses, don't worry about the price, just pick the right one and pay what you can afford. We only mentioned Mccormack's fee cos he's crap. I don't know what the actual Kodjia fee rises to and i couldn't give a shit (and likely never will) because he does the job. For me, looking at the videos and his age and experience, Hogan has a bit of scope about him which i like. The likes of Gestede, Mccormack, Rhodes are players who play a certain way and whose top level to date is the best you can hope to get (and that is essentially what you are paying for). Hogan reminds me of a Charlie Austin at the same age (ableit Charlie had done more by then) in that the risk vrs potential reward seems just right.

I've got to say, for as shit as it is watching villa nowadays, the transfer windows are great. Tony's maths equations, the medical booking dramas, the long drawn out sagas (hourihane & lansbury), the overnight come from nowhere signings (bjarnasson) and now the gaffer teasing us us with a nice brucey bonus to close it all out. It sure beats the old "We would like to possibly get one in", "it would be nice to supplement the squad" "Welcome to Villa Simon Dawkins" shit we've been used to.

Good looking lad we haven't had a proper sexy bastard since olaf

Icelandic claps retards

The passing is beyond amateurish it's embarassing

Has Gary Rowett got a job yet?

**** hell amavi

Bout time bacuna and Adomah are insipid

They've got a midfielder at right back, get grealish on to slow walk him on the left, this is **** shit

A great football man and always there for the villa. One of my abiding memories is the end of season lap of honour at the end of his 2nd reign when some of our fans booed him during his end of season speech, hated it then and it has always left a bad taste in my mouth to this day. Proper Villa legend who never deserved to be treated like that. RIP.

Always felt we saw the best of grealish early on with delph who was a player who had a modicum of off the ball movement and ability to give and go, play short passes, one twos etc, same with cleverly albeit less so. They were players who would move both on and off the ball and make some intelligent runs (or at least in cleverly's case he'd make a 'run'). As many have eluded to above, he basically has **** all to work with in this team.

He had a great first half at Newcastle 3 years ago, looked a quality player. the fact that I can remember that sums up how shit he is.

Needs to start. Gardner, Westwood and jedinak is the slowest midfield in world sports.

****

probably best for all concerned

I'll get shot for saying it but Clark is better than all of our defenders (inc Chester when he signs). I also worry about the height if he's alongside Elphick who himself is no 6 footer.

Man that's the 6th day of the 7th month in the year of the monkey.

Apparently Paddy Reilly turned up at the end of the meeting with a Powerpoint presentation and a copy of championship manager.

Getting moyes in the championship is a ridiculous coup

He's adorable
