FamousHolteUnion Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not going to lie its been a really hard decision for me. Ive spoken to a lot of people about it and for my development i think I've made the right choice. Im going to miss everyone at Middlesbrough. I just want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me through out my time there. Im excited for a new challenge at Aston Villa! Can follow him @JoeBennett27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 One for the future... One for the future... One for the future... One for the future... One for the future... One for the future... Erm, what about now? I don't think we can afford much proven Premiership quality. We've gone for that in the past and it's cost us a lot of money.

GarryBarry Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Love the quotes. A bit more genuine and considered than the usual guff that gets spouted - particularly like the southgate link and acknowledging the club that gave him his professional debut. I know people have doubts about recruiting from the lower leagues and the risks associcated with buying players for the future but Lambert has a clear gameplan in signing young, committed and talented players. I'd be willing to suffer through another transition year to see this come to fruition. I expect a few more hammerings by the Evertons, Tottenhams and Liverpools (not to mention Man City/Man Utd) but so long as the team are committed, attacking and showing signs of improvement I'll stay behind them all the way - as part of building an approach for the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 great words from the kid, looking forward to seeing how he develops! We've got a left back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm sure I'll get called a moaning villa fan. This signing makes me confident that he will be a decent player in the future. I'm not confident he's what we need right now, this season. Our defence, like our midfield and attack makes me worried about going down and this signing has done nothing to change that. Like I said I'm sure he's got a great chance of developing into a top player, but that's both our starting fullbacks who are in the same position.

jonno_2004 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I remember reading an article a fair while ago now that said 'who the hell is Leighton Baines?' just before he'd signed for Everton. I hope Joe Bennett is ours. Two bright prospects from some of the country's most respected academies at RB and LB. Frees up Baker to go to centre back now as well. I just hope to God they gel quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This signing in isolation is good for us. When I put him straight into our current back four though and see Bennett-Baker/Clark-Vlaar-Lowton, that has the potential to be one of the weakest back fours in the league. There's no guarantees with 3 out of the starting 4, the only one I feel we can rely on is Vlaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sounds like he has his head screwed on from those quotes. Lets hope he can develop into a good player with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 29, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2012 Decent signing for us to make on the face of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I know our defence is young and inexperienced, but for me that makes it quite exciting. They're all brought in by the manager ( except baker / clark ) and it will be his own team developing together. I think the lack of experience will be shown up a couple of times this season, but in the long run we'll get the pay-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
