Tonev signs for villa! Now with added loan.

bless him

He's been woeful.

Hopefully he can go there and improve.

Signed for Frosinone, wherever that is.  Good riddance, easily the worst player I've seen in a Villa shirt, and a racist to boot.

That's good news, a really poor signing.

He's managed to get a move to a newly-promoted Serie A club, shocked at that. Looks like the club he's gone to are like Italy's version of Bournemouth, in the top flight with just a 10k capacity stadium. Thought Serie C would be more his level.

An added bonus to some of the Lambert signings moving on is the fact I have learnt the name of a couple of clubs I had never previously heard of.

Sounds like it's only a loan.

Another year of Lambert and we would have had more players out on loan than Chelsea.

How many years has he got left? This would be his last wouldn't it?

In all honesty I don't see why we couldn't have torn up his contract.

2 years left. He's only been here 2 years, seems an age, that's how shit he is.

Well, when you see West Ham have just let Kevin Nolan go 'by mutual consent', you do have to wonder how much it would have cost the Villa to just say 'yeah, we don't want you anymore.'

I'm not certain, but I think that sort of thing usually means paying the player the value of rest of their contract plus maybe the loyalty bonus?  So you might as well keep them on and try and loan them out if you can't sell them, as you'll end up paying them the same amount anyway.

Bloody hell. I thought we'd have given him a 2-3 year deal at first, but 4?
Stan got this one badly wrong I think.

Permanent deal, not loan, according to this article which quotes their official Twitter...

Sleep tight sweet, racist, prince.
