Absolute cracking player!  Steal at 1 million !
Really good middle man plays well with aggression and offensive play.
Pros gets goals . Great footballing age . Creative.  Captain and versatile in middle.
Negative - aggression leads to yellow cards !

Really hope he signs and we 'll enjoy his play.
Think Fabian Delph/ Charlie Adam hybrid

Looking forward to seeing him, you've sold me!
Faster than Adam- aren't we all ! Slower than Delphi! (When he's not injured )

Is he as good as the last half dozen 'steals' that we've achieved? Will he be an improvement on the midfield general combo Gardner and Westwood or is that asking a bit much?

Forgive me if I curb my enthusiasm. We could train Messi at Bodymoor Heath for one week and turn him into Warren Aspinall.

Ha! Yeah, we turned McCormack from (one of) the best players in the last 5 years in the Championship to somebody who looks like he wouldn't get in a Sunday league side. And all in a few months.

Say what you like about us, but we can ruin a player better and faster than any other team!

I say he's an upgrade. For sure. Needs again to be deployed in correct position despite versatile not a touch line wide player effective centrally
However I hold out hope for Gardner. I always like a local/come up thru the ranks. It's annoying even if they aren't the best. I perhaps romaticallly feel players are inclined to feel a bit more. Hmm gabby!

That's where Gabby went wrong, he thought you said feed not feel.

Hopefully we can get Angela and Hot Lips in before the next game.

Blimey, we might actually score a goal in January!

Steady!  I find it's overblown optimism like that that leads to the biggest disappointments.

What we need in the middle if the park players who have a big of arrogance, a bit of swagger.

I don't mean they need to be bad people, but we need players who believe they are better than the opposition, who KNOW, they are better than the opposition and want to show it.

Houlihane and Landsbury look like they fit the bill.

A couple of goals, maybe the odd assist and some solid performances and he'll be next favourite Villa player. Sign up and be a hero, sir!

What other potential signings are on the Radar ?
