Tonev signs for villa! Now with added loan.

[tom jennings III]

Welcome to the greatest football club on earth Alek, good luck!

[Brend'Watkins]

What position does he play?

Winger

Left or right?

[supertom]

I like the look of this guy. He can play left, right, or through the middle. He's got a good eye for a pass, good feet, and he's not afraid to take a pop at goal from distance, left or right foot. He could be useful with set pieces too. I think he could be a find.

One more of Popov or Belhanda and our attacking options would be pretty much there to be honest.

Then we just need 2-3 new faces in the backline. Another CM and a backup keeper.

What position does he play?

Winger

Left or right?

One of the above.  Or possibly both.

[supertom]

What position does he play?

Winger

Left or right?

Anywhere. Judging by his YT vid. He plays left or right, looks good attacking through the middle too. Can shoot from distance with his left or right. Decent balance and he's hard for defenders to judge because he's good with both feet. He's not like some players who'll always look to cut back onto their stronger foot.

[PeterWithesShin]

He can supposedly play any of the attacking MF positions.

[Brend'Watkins]

Ta, could be the end of N'Zog.  Hope not.

[supertom]

Enjoy. Granted it's youtube, but he looks good value.

[not3bad]

Just got the text message confirmation!  Welcome to Villa Mr Tonev!

[not3bad]

Villa seem to have stolen a march on the press with this one.  Official site was the first to conform the signing.

[OCD]

Looks like the guy has some pace. At this rate teams are going to be frightened to death of us hitting them on the counter.

[supertom]

I think we'll be cashing in on Zogbia. We'll get more for him than we've paid for Tonev, and he'll be on a half, maybe ever third of his wages too. Makes sense to me. Charles is far too inconsistent.

Maybe Martinez will come in for him.

Good work on the photo Mr Shin and welcome Mr Tonev.

This is what Stan has to say on the official site:

"I think Villa fans have one exciting player on their hands. I think the Club has been monitoring Aleksandar for a few months, they have watched some games and some DVDs.

"He doesn't have a dominant foot which is really interesting and the main thing about him. He is quick, he is an exciting player and I think Villa fans will see he is a good player. He is the kind of player who can really make an impact in this young, exciting team. We spoke last night and he is really looking forward to it. He knows that it will be a challenge but he is ready for it."

Roll on more exciting, young signings!
