Aston Villa Players : Ins and Outs

A new left-back, signed from Nice, filling a postion that really needs filling.

AVFC - Villa complete signing of Jordan Amavi

I wonder if we will be singing a variant of 'Nice One, Cyril' ?!

Nice one Jordan,
Nice One, Son,
Nice One Jordan,
Let's have another one.

 

A sideways move, I think, but Benteke will be in the goals for Liverpool with James Milner providing the supply.

AVFC - Benteke joins Liverpool

 

I'm interested to see how he gets on and how we set up with him in the team. Overall happy with the transfer, but not about the price but hey it's not my money and if he scores lots of goals I really wont care.

 

Spoken like a true plastic, Luvvy!

 

Plastic? Why?

 

I was joking, Luvvy!

Did you not see the whistle-smiley?

Jeez! You Mousers are so touchy, these days!

 

Wasn't being touchy I just didn't understand. C'mon HAIG do I really come across as touchy?

 

No, not really, mate.

That was another joke. Apparently, not a very funny one. I'll give you that.

 

We are having a sense of humour clash today.

 

What are you trying to say?*






*Just kidding!

 

That you're a twat.


See we're back on track now.

 

Yes. That's much better.

'Corrected' :

We are all delighted that Ciaran Clark has signed a new five-year contract with the club.

Nathan Baker recently signed a 4 year contract, news which pleased me because he (like Ciaran Clark), has always done his best for AVFC and came through a very tough apprenticeship.

Good to see this, midfielders do their business often unnoticed, even though it is done in plain sight.

Skysports - Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood to trim squad

Richardson and Senderos are the other players mentioned, I think they are useful squad players, especially Senderos, so I am not itching to see either go.
