Karim El Ahmadi CONFIRMED (Reply #278)

[Legion]

TSM, please.

[PeterWithesShin]

TSM, please.

OVM thank you.

[Legion]

Who?

[PeterWithesShin]

Who is what?

[SoccerHQ]

Central midfield has been very weak since Milner left really.

I have no idea if this lad will hack it at prem level but good to see Lambert is thinking outside the box in terms of signings.

[Legion]

OVM.

[PeterWithesShin]

OVM.

Old Villa Manager.

[Legion]

They all are.

[PeterWithesShin]

They all are.

Some of them are Scottish too if you want to nitpick.

[The Left Side]

Welcome Karim

[ozzjim]

I would like to see another solid midfield player to play alongside him, with 1-2 being shown the door.

[silhillvilla]

Shoot me down but some muscle like N'Daw from SHA would be decent at this stage
Think he was loaned from a French side tbh

[eamonn]

Most on here wanted N'Zogbia at that price.

With Luke Young leaving and Lichaj getting a longterm injury a day or so before deadline day we had to buy a RB. Hutton probably fit our price range and i'm assuming OVM knew him from Rangers days.

Jenas is the only shit signing he made. And that's mainly down to the contract which I doubt was OVM's decision.

There's a million and one sticks to beat OVM with, his signings were never one of them. What he did with them once he signed them is a different mattter.

Isn't that the time when you can tell whether they were good signings or not? N'Zogbia, when on-form is possibly a £10m player. He hasn't showed that form so far and was pretty shit/disillusioned under McLeish so I'd classify him as a poor signing until he proves himself under the new management.

[Risso]

Maybe, but McLeish had money and arguably wasted it
Hutton £5m - value for money ?
NZogbia £10m - same question
Jenas £1m loan fee + £2m in wages !!
Given and Robbie Keane you can argue were good signings

You've got to be kidding.  Hutton was an abysmal signing, whichever way you try to dress it up.

I hope N'Zogbia is sold. There is no excuse for the performances he put in. I thought he might come good but no.
