Let's have a look at his best bits...

http://youtu.be/PWoiGqt503U

Are you sure that wasn't a promo for a dodgy energy drink?  Bet that guy had a bet on how many times he could say the word "Run" in a two minute period.

Can see him and Keane getting on, but that video does have desparate Championship player seeks bigger move all over it.

Is he injured then? He'll fit in well.

Who? Keane? Oh for fuck sake we've only just signed him.

No Keane will probably just injure anyone who is fit. I meant this chappie from SHA. The first part of the clip is they have missed him this year because of injury.

Former Norwich player and I'd imagine a lad Lambert perhaps knows well. In that regards it seems as if he could well be on our shopping list this season.

Why not just sign him free last summer then? Seems odd if Lambert knows him to miss that opportunity when we were woefully short in midfield anyway. Dunno, looks an ok worker, but nothing special. And we need a quality player in the middle of the park, not an ok worker.

Also Jordan Mutch at 1.5 million would be a steal and a very decent signing for us.

If we are in for Adeyemi I would guess that Sylla will be on his way, either permanently or on loan. Shame really, in flashes he's looked really good, but just didn't progress at all last season. Last preseason he actually looked to be one of our better players and I was convinced he'd be this year's Benteke. Shows what I know!

Seems like Sylla enjoyed partying too much.

"One or two players in, in the next month" sounds positive. I am convinced that we will spend some money. Not a massive amount, but we will spend.

Positive? funny, I thought the exact opposite. One of the weakest squads in the premiership who have flirted with relegation for 3 seasons is hoping to progress with a couple of (at best) average free signings and hopefully 1 or 2 other additions. Im very worried about the upcoming season.

I wonder if we will sign a player this summer which all of us agree is a good signing?

Has that ever happened?

Stephen Ireland was universally popular I recall. Shows what we know..

That would have been too easy and thus not the Villa way. ;)
