It was pointed out to me that it will be the second year running we've signed a player who had just won a PL medal.

Let's hope his season lasts a little longer than Ritchie De Laet's!

I had forgotten about him! Hopefully he can contribute this season!

Hopefully this really does mean we can fuck Micah Richards off.

Hard to imagine how EBJTwould address this matter.

This can't be real surely?

If true I think this will be the most embarrassing thing Villa have done since McLeish came in, which is really saying something. I've been pretty heartbroken at how low we've sunk, it's made me fall out of love with football (I barely watch any games these days) And now this, my most hated player of all time supposedly signing for us? Wake me when this nightmare is over.

That's the spirit.  I think he's passed it but I still think it's amusing he's picked us over smethwick.

I'm ok with it, if we refused to sign any footballers that had ever behaved like dickheads in the past we'd struggle to get a decent side out.

I'm far more concerned about scoring goals next season than this.

On the flip side, if we refused to sign any footballers banned for racist behaviour then we would have signed all the same players that we actually signed.

Until this one.

We are about to sign a player that has been arguably the best defender in the country for the last god knows how many years and all we do is moan about what an arsehole he is despite him being found not guilty in a court of law.

I do know what you mean. I've slated and moaned about Terry for years. If he gets us promoted, ill probably turn into the biggest hypocrite known to man.

When has a decrepit, racist centre-half ever got a team promoted?

The kind of big name that the refs will love chatting to and having reffed a game with him in.
Wouldn't be suprised to see us get less harsh yellows and silly red cards with him in the team, we might finally get some 'big club' treatment we've been on otherside of for years.

Does [arry mode] Top Top Playa [/arry mode] experience and vision win over sheer pace in this league? possibly. Looks like we're about to find out!

We're the biggest club in the second division. And, sadly, we're acting like it.

It doesn't strike me as a particularly good bit of business from a footballing point of view.  We had one of the best defences in the league last season, it was lack of goals which cost us, and the Chester Baker partnership seems more than good enough for the Championship.  I can't see how Terry can do much on the pitch to solve our issues going forwards, he's probably better than Nathan Baker but not £100k a week or whatever he'll be getting paid better, so I can't see the point beyond the fact that he's a "name" and Xia thinks bringing him in is a statement of intent which will attract other players and sponsors to the club, I mean a pre season tour of China will probably generate more press if we've got a player in the team that the locals have actually heard of. 

Thing is, Terry is an arsehole.  I kinda like disliking him.  Maybe he'll be brilliant but part of me wonders if a guy so synonymous with one club will have his heart in it when he moves to another. I'm guessing his family will be staying in Surrey while he's in digs up in Brum somewhere. Will Terry be meeting people, shaking hands, making things happen off the pitch in an ambassadorial role or will he shooting off back down the M40 every chance he gets?   Hopefully I'm won over, but as I stand right now I just don't get it.
