Chris Herd should help him settle, its always helpful when you move to a strange foreign country to have somebody that speaks your language.

I work with lots of Australians. Technically, they are always extremely proficient. They are also hard-working, honest, loyal and never give up on a lost cause.

But besides this, they go on and on and on about 'back home' as if you give a shit.

It's nice to see us signing a player from outside the UK. Something which almost never happened with that lazy pube headed fuck O'Neill.

Oh, for the days when we'd sign Marlon Harewood or Heskey and have to pretend we thought it was a decent signing, rather than the result of having a manager who couldn't be arsed to do a bit of scouting.

Mark Bosnich - who weirdly finishes all his tweets with 'xmb' - had this to say:

Oh P.S. re; Brett Holman while living in Holland he has picked up a wee bit of a Dutch accent-knock that out of him immediately-xmb

We'll have to send him to Hitzlsperger's voice coach.

Good luck to him. However as this is further evidence that McLeish is going nowhere I am gutted to be honest. I still had hope of a fresh start in July but now it's looking desperately unlikely.

Sorry, can thread titles only using players' names be banned? ''New Signing Agreed: Brett Holman'' or summat would do the job. If this topic didn't have five pages I wouldn't have bothered looking. Hard enough to get a few minutes of online skiving at the moment when the boss is sat next to me.

We could do with another winger I guess. Haven't heard of the bloke but at least it might entice more females to come to Villa Park cos if I was one I'd like to stroke his locks.

Great to see a bit of business  being completed at this time of year. Welcome aboard.

I imagine his preferred pronunciation of his first name would be "Breddy", however.

Has a reasonable pedigree and physically will be more able for the league than Makoun.

Welcome aboard Brett. Good to have a new face coming in anyway.

As long as he's better than that wanker out of Suede.

I consider him to be a bisexual man who's never had a holmosexual experience.

Always been a fan, he has a good 'engine', always puts in a shift and doesn't go missing during games.
An excellent (early) addition to the squad.

Here's what the National Coach had to say about him, last year:
