A championship player who will cost next to nothing, connections to the Irish team, played under Keane at Sunderland and more importantly he's crap.Has Lamberts name written all over it. Remind me - how many of our signings does that apply to? I make it none. Well I wasn't actually comparing him to anyone. Lambert has bought a few players from the lower leagues, all fairly cheap and not very good. That with Keane and MON connections makes me feel it's a typical Villa signing. Crap, lower league footballers joining Villa...that's typical. With Richardson joining who played under Keane which might of influenced Lambert's decision to sign him then McClean could be another....which would make it typical. Unless I'm wording it wrong. Get off my back, I've had a Baileys. It can't be typical if it's not happened before.

If Tonev does some serious damage in Scotland with Celtic then the same thing applies. Helenius seems to be Steve 'Lonely Boy' Hodge MKII.I doubt any of them are on much, so I assume the clubs they are going to will be paying pretty much all their wages. So we basically get a free year out of them to see if a) they can be of use to us in the future 2) hope they have good seasons that mean we will get some decent money for them next summerIII) Be consistentYou totally plagiarised my post them and just added 'be consistent' to it. No wonder people get annoyed with the mods on here and bugger to the the bar of whatever it's called.
