[Three Spires Villa]

Great news, in my humble opinion. Over the last 2 seasons I have really taken to him more. Good man, Villa man!!

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Thanks Alan. Much appreciated in this day and age!

[achilles]

It is brilliant to see someone who actually wants to play for our club and for once it is not all about money!

A fan's player, not many of them about anymore... sadly!

Great to have you back for another season, Alan! UTV

[TheMalandro]

Good news, a thoroughly deserved.

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm ok with this if it's followed up by RDL and Elmo or Taylor leaving (or all 3 even).  The squad is too big for where we are but, still oddly unbalanced with glaring gaps (such as the fact that we only have 1 senior central defender and our GK options are poor).

RDL can play CB too ..  I rate RDL championship level to be fair ID prefer Taylor gone , he is a liability

Top man.

This.

We all know he has some technical limitations but watch his interview , so good to hear him talk about wanting to play for the club, loving it here, hurting after the final (and looking like he meant it). As much as we need the skill players we also need players who are going to bust a bloody gut for the claret and blue.
Thanks Alan.

[Gary Penrice]

Great news. A player who wants to play for the club & who will always give 100%. Give him the captain's armband!

[Walmley_Villa]

For some reason made me really happy. We obviously do have a pot...interesting days ahead.
Bizarrely everything kind of seems back to normal this week, sponsors, contracts etc.....weird.

Also means Bruce is going nowhere.

[mr underhill]

Limited but eminently likable. Well done Cafu.

[The Edge]

Great news. He's prepared to put is body on the line every time he pulls on the famous jersey and we're gonna need that in the coming months. Tho polar opposite of Micah Richards.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

If I remember right he lives Leicester way so if he has turned down 2 years at Forest for less money and only 1 year here he has my respect.

Pretty sure he doesn’t live in Leicester as I’ve seen him in Solihull and Knowle several times over the years.

[mikeb1982]

Got a lot of time for Hutton, great news.

I think he lives somewhere around Dorridge.

[GarTomas]

Not convinced. The club most be fairly confident of moving out at least one of Taylor, AEM or De Laet etc.

At a time when we need to cut costs this seems like we’ve taken another wage on. Disappointed if it means it prevents one of the academy players coming through.
