osmark86 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good signing. One more lad without the burden of failure on his shoulders. Next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Very happy with this signing...suggested him weeks ago. Was excellent for Hull in this division and pretty good for Wales in the euros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 Why is everyone talking like this is done? Can't find anything on the o/s or media that he has actually signed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'll be astonished if he's wrong. He get's the odd bit of info wrong but I've never known him announce a signing and it not happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good signing for us. A proper defender, compared to the idiots like Richards. Well done Villa. Delighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Massively underwhelming. I think we're just being happy that any new player is coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's good enough from the little I've seem of him and he's been part of success with Hull not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Hull's best players in this league and the player with the most interceptions in the EUROs (I am sure I read!). He will be a great signing.

I struggle to believe that anyone (of us VT folk) paid particular attention to him at Hull. We're basically talking about a guy who can't get a game under one of the most defensive-minded managers around. For at least £7m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 he is behind Jonas Olsson in the pecking order which worries me as Jonas Olsson is absolute crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But De Laet, Jedinak and Chester (apparently)? That's isn't returning to the Premier League, it's burying yourself in the depths of the Championship. I Hope I'm wrong though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 have Championship experience, have been promoted and have played at PL level when/if we go back up.

Reivax_Villa Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Would there be much better defensive partnerships than Chester and Elphick in the the championship? Elphick would do the nitty and gritty, Chester would be the one to sweep up the mess, As Doug said he has high intelligence as a defender, so i reckon he could slot in pretty quickly with Elphick and get the basics right.
