John Woodward was signed as Tony Hateley's replacement at centre forward. He very quickly got himself crocked and was out for the season as I recall. All the time we were sliding down the league we were constantly assured that when Woodward was fit again all would be roses. When he eventually returned to fitness, Tony Hateley he certainly wasn't. I think he may have been sold soon after.

Tommy Mitchenson  was a tidy little player with great ball control, although not too quick. My main memory of him was when he picked the ball up just inside our half and dribbled down the right wing alongside the Witton Land stand, cut in towards goal, all the time dribbling around defenders, finally tapping the ball into the net having eluded the grasp of the goalie. For such a memorable goal, I still can't remember who we were playing.

I wonder what fans of other clubs are making of us buying these players? At least those around us who have done little or nothing this summer.

A lot of fans from other Clubs especially Chelski think we have got a bargain with Okore. I've been reading different sites and comments from other fans are very praising of the players we are signing.   

if your looking on other clubs sites, I wonder what our nearest and dearest think of all this activity.......I can't look myself as it hurts my eyes..

When he has the ball
the villa fans roar its Okore !!

You wont get the ball
he wont let you score
its okore

When the ball's in the air
And big Ron isn't there
It's Okore

When you can't get a kick
And you think "Fuck - he's quick!"
It's Okore.

That's the goal I was referring to in my earlier post.  I'm almost certain it was against Norwich.

Woodward was typical of the type of player we were signing back then...other clubs' reserves.  Max 20-25k spend.

Just spent the last 2 hours watching the dvd of last season - mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly but looking at our new signings they could add a lot in  terms of options and strength in depth.
