Tonev signs for villa! Now with added loan.

[Greg N'Ash]

Well full marks to the club for getting him in early. The last thing you need with foreign players is signing them near the end of August so they don't get time to settle in and have to spend 3 months in a Travelodge in Aston. Black mark for Lambert for signing someone during his holidays. Doesn't he know the club's supposed to go into paralysis when the manager is away? Kendrick must be bummed. He looks a good prospect and certainly has the right pedigree in the league he's coming from. Word of caution though - he's very young and not all Lambert's transfers are going to come off (probably) or straight away.

Anyway welcome Aleks

fuck me, that made me laugh. One transfer in and eastie is getting way too carried away. He'll be hugging and kissing complete strangers next.

Bang on the money and greg nash have rarely belonged in the same sentence




















ONLY KIDDING nasher

Welcome Tonev, hope you have a long and successful Villa career.

[Percy McCarthy]

Good point Greg, and if Kendrick was wrong about this one, fingers crossed he's wrong about Belhanda too.

I know I'm being greedy but he does look ever so good.

[eamonn]

I like the tonev of his interview!

Works better I reckon.

[rob_bridge]

Good stuff - type of player we should be going for and glad it looks like it sorted in a timely manner. It is so Un O'Neill thankfully

[ciggiesnbeer]

Upon closer inspection of the pics that really is just Matty Lowton in a new top putting on funny accent.

Nice try Villa, nice try.

[TheSandman]

Welcome Alex.

Weird to see us signing someone this early. Probably a product of three years of Martin No Deal and managerial instability where we haven't had a manager in charge at this time of the year.

Is this the end of Albrighton at VP?

If anything it will help \albrighton. All eyes will beoff him now and allow him to play without the pressure from us lot.

[serbentoflight]

Wingers:

No winger "does it" week in - week out...
You'll be hot/cold/hot/HOT/cold/freezing/HOT/HOT/warm

Welcome, we'll love you/hate you/like you/"who" you/love you again.

But we're Aston Villa, and you're now part of us. You lucky, lucky man (but you might never know it)

He will shine next season.

[VancouverLion]

Welcome to Aston Villa FC Alex....Ooops I mean Aleks!
Looks like a great addition to the squad!

[Matt C]

One in already, I like it. He looks promising and in keeping with our new model, seems hungry to succeed.

Suspect we're going to see us add more depth to the squad this summer, more options, more competition.
