I will say it now. If he turns out any good then McLeish will have been bloody lucky. He didn't really mean to sign him.

fuck me!! Summer business in March. Usually March is utterly miserable and here we've had a win and a signing in the last 72 hours. I've already predicted that Villa Park front doors will need to be of the revolving glass variety. It should certainly be very interesting.

Welcome Brett

and if he's shit then he's the kind of signing the noses would have made and McLeish is a negative nose spy here to relegate us.

He's costing nothing and comes in on a 4 year contract, so after a couple of seasons if it doesn't work out we will still probably sell him for few quid to a team in Holland where he's proven himself.

If on the other hand he turns out to be a good signing, then even better.

At least we are not just throwing money at over rated and over paid players just because they play or have played in the prem.

You better get used to him being here because given our investemt in hiring, firing and settlements he's not going anywhere. Also, shouldn't you be commending him for being proactive and doing some business done so soon? That's surely a good thing? He's just signed the Australia footballer of the year on a free, and that country has produced some very solid footballers in the last number of years.

I didn't rate him and thought he was terribly crap until the World Cup last year.  Can have a tendency to run around like a headless chook and seem a bit aimless.  He has bags of energy and never stops running, good pace and he has developed an eye for goal.  I have my doubts as to whether he is good enough to be a regular contributor in the Prem.  At the same time he might be able to fill that Milner sized hole in midfield that we have had for the last 2 years with his energy.
   sounds similar to the yank we got last year? look what happened to him. good luck any way. welcome to the greatest club on the planet

That Yank has been brilliant in Italy this season apparently.

The premier league is kind to players who graft hard, so he may well be an astute addition. Hard working wide players are useful in tough games.

I'd call a sad day one when we lose or something bad happens, not when we make what looks to be a decent signing with the minimum of fuss three months ahead of schedule.

You're probably right TV. I just can't bear the thought of him being in charge past this season

Accepting football isn't like normal businesses, most appointments carry an element of risk. That's life.

I'm sure Bret will link up well with Crabby Adonginawhore.
