If it keeps us in the Division (not by the skin of our teeth) and sets the tone for summer acquisitions then it will be a result for me. With the midfield still to be strengthened, this window, we must hope to see a happier and vibrant Villa Park from now on. That must be our immediate aim.

We're level on points with Hull - do you think they've signed Long and Jelavic to keep them in the division?

After this month it will be too late if we do nothing now. Four or five defeats on the trot will put us well in the mire. That is the way we were heading. I don't what Hull's plans are, or how they have been playing, but I bet they have been better than us. How could they be worse on our current form?

A Chelsea Loanee XI could beat our first team comfortably quite frankly.

Good to hear Ryan saying the right things though (courtesy of F365):

'It's Always Been A Dream Of Mine' #2
"Whenever I've played for Chelsea here at Villa Park the fans have been fantastic and have always created a great atmosphere." Ryan Bertrand expresses his delight at moving to Aston Villa.

We'll leave you to guess the number of times Ryan Bertrand has played for Chelsea at Villa Park in front of Villa fans.

Yep, that's right, none. Zilch. Zip. Zero.


At least he's trying- 'It's Always Been A Dream Of Mine #1' was Jelavic replying 'Because it was the only concrete offer' when asked why he decided to join Hull.

P.S. good signing.

Given his track record I would be very concerned as a left-back if Lambert tried to sign me however...

His loan has finished and he's back at Chelsea now, but chances are he'll be back out soon.  Another good young player with potential.

Indeed, quite amazing  that Chelsea have over 20 players on loan - I didn't realise their pool of players was so large.

I just asked my Chelsea supporting mate about this and he was able to name about 85% and the clubs they played for, pretty impressive actually considering I give him loads of crap for being a plastic fan.

Heard the news just before I went out. Haven't read the thread  but I think this is a very good loan signing for the club. If he is as good as Kyle Walker was I for one will be very pleased.

I just wish we had an option to buy him in the summer, rather than preparing him to be Chelsea' s 1st choice full back next season like we did for spurs with Walker . However, beggars can't be choosers and it's an area that needed strengthening so to do it without blowing out budget is a good move.
Just need a bit of experience and guile in central midfield and the season could turn out quite well.

Given so little time to train with the team, I'd expect him to be on the bench.
