I'd give him a real second chance, he could seem like a new signing if brought back into the mix of things. He might be able to work really well with a proper DM like Makoun behind, and slide a few passes in for Bent to slot away. Probably deserves more of a chance here from the bench or in the cup.
Has number 5 on the back - nice way to set off a little Dunne on his way speculation!
Gotta say, our shirt looks terrible with a white shirt underneath it. That is a bad look.
Fantastic signing! The poacher we have been trying to get for years and years. Gerard is a **** genius in the transfer market, he has massive balls, isn't afraid to go for players like this right now!
Gerard, you have massive balls, fair play!
£24 million is a lot of money, but I don't care, spening that much money in January on one player is a real show on intent from our club. People will take notice.
We looked dangerous today, and probably could have scored 3 or 4 if it wern't for the width of a cross bar. If Foster didn't get a touch to that shot from Fonz that would have been a goal of the season contender. Fonz was class when he came on. We're not in the bottom 3 is a plus!
Hopefully Carews hungry after his long break from the squad. Come on Villa! Collins stay strong. Thought Gardner would make bench today, was wrong though, sure his time will come soon though.
What would people think about sending him back on loan to Blackpool for the rest of the season as a sweatener for the Charlie Adam deal? Has looked a bit off the pace in recent appearances. Surely Bannan's appearances will be limited here for the rest of the season with players back and a possible 2 new midfielders coming in. Obviously all depending if we bring in Adam or Makoun or both.
