Michael Bradley signs (page 6)

[UK Redsox]

So that's one Michael Stipe look-a-like in and another on his way out

[Clark W Griswold]

Good news. What is the situation with the permanent side of it?

[The Left Side]

Welcome Mike, you scary looking muthahubbard!

[DeeBoy1]

great stuff....

[achilles]

This has been an excellent transfer window and we should give Houllier and the club full credit for pulling it all off. Compared to the agonising and ultimately disappointing windows under MON, this one has been a real treat and done much to reinvigorate the spirit at the club.

All of our new arrivals address long standing problems with the squad and apart from signing up a quality backup keeper it couldn't have gone much better.

Couldn't agree more, very positive window indeed!

Not that it's any indication of his talent, but I did notice that when they were banging on about him winning tackles, he didn't make a single one in the clips they were talking over!

I do like Bradley and have done since I saw him in South Africa in 2009. Quick, good feet, and can score. To be honest i wouldn't be too adverse to seeing his dad at Villa Park either. Not just now, mind.

Looking forward to second half of the season -

Didn't think I would be saying that when 4 goals down at Eastlands-

There's real competition for places in midfield now

[Grubly Magoo]

Appears to have a great attitude - things looking good. Exciting times ahead!!!

[Mazrim]

I think this will prove to be a hell of a signing. More than a lot of people may think.
We have one hell of an engine room now.
The idea of, for instance, Bradley, Makoun and a fully fit Delph in midfield is tantalising. Lots of energy and quality.

We wont often get caught breathing through our arse and surrendering possession in the latter stages of games now.
It will still take a little while to click together though. All great signs for next season though. Very encouraging.

I actually think he will settle in fine. His game, and his position, mean it will be easier than a forward, for example, in hitting the ground running. I'd like to see him on Saturday, if not tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to seeing Bradley in a Villa shirt, before January I had my doubts about Houllier, Faulkner and to a lesser extent Lerner, and I'm glad to say they have blown all those doubts out of the water.

good idea Mazrim an untried kid who keeps getting injured or sent off, a yank who has yet to taste Prem quality football and a Frenchman whose legs go after 50 mins.
Brilliant midfield who needs experienced quality or proven youth players deep in the Villa system.

Won't be cleared for tomorrow apparently.
