I know Lambert tried to sign him when he came and was told no, He's a good signing. He'll be able to play tomorrow won't he?

He can play tomorrow, yeah mate.
In that case - 3.1 to us again!

It's funny after complaints about how many players Chelsea have on loan!

So is he a solid defender or attacking defender- I hope you know what I mean?

The latter, although hes also a better defender than Luna/Bennett

Agreed, although this is hardly a glowing tribute to our scouts.

Good stuff.

How many players can we have on loan at one time? Was just wondering whether the mooted possibility of loaning Defour till the end of the season is now not possible.

If Lowton could recapture his best form we would seem to have the makings of a very good back 4 once everyone is fit again.

I think a lot of us have criticised the loan market and the money clubs abuse of it/stockpiling of players. But we have also been critical of Villa's failure to use the system, such as it is, as well as other clubs like ourselves.

A Chelsea season-ticket-holding colleague has just described him as "good, but not very adventurous" to me. "Likes to pass sideways" apparently. My response was that if he likes to pass to a player in the same shirt he'll do, regardless.

People seem to rate him and I have seen others say that he is quite attacking. Lowton of the second half against Arsenal putting crosses in on one side and this guy getting them in on the other flank should hopefully make us more dynamic in attack.

I think it'll be Hoolahan and that's it maybe unless he has another centre half in mind.

That made me chuckle
