Concrete Ron deal done

A policeman pulled Concrete Ron over for speeding today.

Ron let him off with a warning.

I doubt that this is all that different than the Lowton or El Ahmadi transfers actually, just that the lucky break of that photo being taken put it out there earlier.  Had it not been for that, I'd imagibe the press would not have got wind of it until much nearer the conclusion, as they did with the last two deals.   

It probably makes a bit of difference as well that everyone's in the US. I wonder who's in charge of Villa Park this week?

Legion?

Got a bit nostalgic for the milner thread then...

James Milners awesomeness. A great thread.

If we could get 1 player this summer, I would love it to be Milner back. Alongside KEA in the centre of the park he would be great. Still gutted he is a bit part right winger at Citeh.

Seems so long ago now, does the Milner thread.

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder if it still exists as I think it was on the old board?

I've still got my shirt somewhere.

Yeaaah...his name is Vlaar
Yeaaah...he's a fuckin star
Yeaaah...we all love Villa
We do Ron Ron Ron, We do Ron Ron

That's a definate Holte Anthem for next season. Top class that.

Thanks danlanza...lets hope we sign him!

Much as these jokes on this thread are appreciated, what concerns me is the deal appearing in limbo. To me, It looks very much a sell to buy situation with little cash for PL to spend. I'm not that impressed with the dealings thus far - after all, Brett Holman was a AM signing, leaving only two deals completed (I'm not counting Guzan as he was on the books last season). Cuellar has departed, it's unknown on Stan's situation, Heskey released (although no great loss) so the squad numbers still look thin. A new centre back and striker are a must - the current look of our defence doesn't fill me with confidence. Lerner still has a lot to answer for on his transfer policy.

This and Karim El Ahmadi, Rock the casbah

[Concrete John]

Milner back - I'd be in heaven!

And he's just the sort of player who, playing alongside El Ahmadi, would enable us to play a 4-4-2 and allow for the much speculated on Carroll/Bent partnership.

Given (with Guzan pushing hard)

Lowton/Lichaj
Clark
Concrete Ron
New LB (Let's say Bertrand from Chelsea)

Holman
El Ahmadi
Milner
N'Zogbia (after being told to work harder for the team)

Bent
Carroll

In truth though, I doubt funds would stretch to Milner AND Carroll.

Milner isn't coming back. Bores me every transfer window....
