Johnson is getting rave reviews from the Chesterfield fans. He has been playing regularly and running the show in most games. They want him on loan for the rest of the season or possibly put a bid in for him. IMO i dont think he would make it at the villa, and as a Villa/Chesterfield fan i would like him to stay for the rest of the season to push the spireites as high as possible this season!

I had high hopes for Johnson. He's mobile, he can pass the ball and he's probably got a few goals in him too. He just hasn't been able to make the step up for us. He looked out of his depth in the few times he appeared for us this pre-season sadly.
Glad he's doing well for Chesterfield though. If he's lucky he'll have a few Championship or League 1 clubs eyeing him for next summer.

Tonev come on in the 61st minute in their 1-0 defeat against Hamilton.

Caught the last 20 minutes of AaB v Brøndby.

As with previous games, hold up / link play was pretty good, looking short of confidence in the box.
Unlucky with a header right at the end, keeper made a really good save.

There's an interview with him next Friday talking about what he's been through which I'll try and catch.

I think the missing lads are with England u20s due to play Germany.

Robinson is with England, but Mikey Drennan is an Irishman from Kilkenny.

He's been sussed, is all.

Tonev is Stan Petrovs greatest ever practical joke. I'm sure of it. In much the same way that Ferguson must have chuckled heartily to himself when McLeish was unveiled here.

Tonev is a really poor player though. It says a lot about the league he came from that he looks out of his depth in the SPL. After this season he'll go back to a league in Eastern Europe where he'll be more in his element. We took a punt but it hasn't worked out.

That'll be on Tonev's tombstone one day. "He took a punt but it didn't work out."

Did we really spend £3m on him? A rare aberration on money misspent by Lambert. We got Westwood and Bacuna combined for that amount, didn't we?

Westwood was a million sterling, Bacuna a million euros.

But as hardly any of the figures from that summer were reported correctly, it wouldn't surprise me if £3m for Tonev was massively exaggerated as well.
