I think I'd keep herd, he can cover a few roles in an emergercy.

The Herdster?

The Herdy Gerdy Man?

Brett Holman has re-iterated that he might need to quit Villa for first team football, particularly if Australia qualify for the World Cup.

Holman, who can help the Socceroos reach Brazil 2014 by beating Iraq in Sydney on Tuesday, was a peripheral figure at Villa during the second half of the season.

The 29-year-old midfielder, signed by former Villa boss Alex McLeish, fears he could lose his Australia place if he is not playing regularly at club level.

But the former AZ Alkmaar favourite is adopting a relaxed approach to his claret and blue future rather than panicking.

“Considering what happens after Tuesday night and, obviously if we get a win, I’ll have to look at the best place where I’ll play football,” said Holman.

“I have to be playing to be fit.

“If that’s at Villa then so be it, if not, then so be it as well.

“I’ve still got two more years at Villa, so it’s not as if I’m in a panic situation where I’m looking for a club and I’m desperately looking to get out.

“We’ll just see what happens next season.”

Holmy needs to look elsewhere in my opinion.

Don't think Bretters will be a Villa man for much longer.

. Promising start but he never really built on it - similar to kea.

Yes, another one on the out of the door list.

Had an interesting conversation with some Danish visitors at a birthday party over the weekend.They came from Aallborg and they thought that Helenius would need to up his upper body strength to cope with PL but has an eye for the goal, so may be one for the year after.This might fit with us getting an extra year out of Benteke.

Their comments were much more positive over Okore , they thought he is the real deal and we've got at good one there.

Happier days being a Villa fan these days.....

Still encouraging though as we need Okore to hit the ground running, but can probably afford to wait and develop Helenius.  Presuming he signs, of course!

Yes, looks like lambert has done well with the 2 Danes by all accounts - exciting times.

Yeah the big O and Helly look great signings for the money. I hope Tonny, Mooner and L dog are just as good.

Gosh, how romantic. dinner with Danish chums. I always thought I would be lucky enough to command a multicultural network of friends when I grew up, and often thought I would enjoy visting the grandchildren in exotic places, travelling the globe and reading all the books i promised myself i would once I got  the time and so forth. I'm genuinely envious, I wish I knew Danish people better, especially those two birds from The Killing and Borgen. As it is, I am going to have to content myself with some box sets and enjoing Jores and Helenius down at the Villa. Excuse this post, its just the mood I'm in, especially as Villa Kicks seems to have weened himself off the medication.

There are a number of people here, none of whom appear to be particularly young, who seem to have their accounts hacked by Steve McLaren using over familiar shortened versions of player's names.
