Yeah, but given your enthusiastic outlook on all things Villa surely you were expecting something better than this Liverpool dunderhead.
Isn't he a Valencia dunderhead?

If we sign Cissokho based on his performance against us then I am guessing our forward loan signing will be Ronnie Rosenthal.

We usually sign players who play really well against us and go on to do Jack all.

Is there anyone who has scored an own goal then been sent off against us? If so we should sign him up on this basis.

Will fit in well with Philippe, though his dunderheadedness registration was still held by Fulham.

Wonder what the fee will be? Don't want it being any higher than £4-£5 million if we're to believe Lerner jetted in to free up £10 million for him.

I get where Lambert is coming from, it's so obvious that Lowton and Bennett aren't up to scratch in this league...I guess we'll have to see if a motivated Hutton and Cissokho can be an improvement.

On paper it says yes....paper isn't always right.

Being reported at 2.5 million. Not sure what has happened but 3 years back he was touted about as the best young left back out there. If true, I hope he is given a chance!

His English is very poor, not helped by living amongst the Dippers. I cannot understand what some of them say half the time up here and I speak the lingo.

Can't argue with £2.5 million with him being an ex Lyon, Porto and Valencia left back at only 26 years of age. That's cheaper than both Lowton and Bennett isn't it?

I remember him playing against Man.Utd in the champions league and the commentators raving about his performances for Lyon. There's probably a really good player in there who just needs to find his feet again...hopefully it will be at Villa.

Vlaar, Okore, and Cissokho sounds a lot better than Clark, Baker and Luna.

Lowton was only a million apparently.

Oh, I was under the impression it was some where around the £3 million mark.

He was really on the rise. Played for Lyon, should have gone to Milan by all accounts. Lost his way a bit and only played a few times for Liverpool so doesn't really count in my opinion in terms of a body of work. He's got decent size and pace for a full back. He seems a more stay at home LB than one that ventures forward although he has enough pace to do that. I suppose it is a bit weird to be signing another LB given we are ok (not great) in that position and with other priorities seemingly.

I do wonder now if Richardson might play a midfield role now.

His English is probably better than any of the Dipper community and far less annoying.
