I like the way Holman plays I think he will be a very good player for us for that I thank TSM but I'm still glad he's gone though.

He reminds me of James Milner. Workds hard. Has decent end product. Versitile.

On the evidence so far I'd say that statement (the bold bit) applies to all of our signings this summer, except I'd be tempted to replace decent with good.

Holman, KEA and Lowton all have great engines, Vlaar is forced to be a bit more structured but he gets up and down the pitch well and hasn't really looked out of position.

I'm not going to judge the others because they've not had time to show much just yet.

He may be "the poor mans Milner" - but I think his work rate and effort are fantastic , and that sort of effort rubs off on those around him , funny on Saturday I called him a nice parting gift from he who should not be named

Thank you to McLeish for taking the job and being crap enough to get fired meaning we could appoint Paul Lambert in the summer.

Had it worked out any differently we may not have ended up with this man in charge.

Sonlyme, brilliant post. Well done.

When I saw the packet of ham yesterday I burst my sides laughing!

The difference between this season and last is unbelievable, I have watched the Villa highlights at least 5 times on my laptop as we just look like a brand new team, great stuff Villa!

... while he's getting used to the pace of the English game.  After that?
