Philippe Senderos

[Archie]

One of the worst CD that I have ever seen. I did not think that we could  sign someone worst than Richard Dunne but probably we did it.
Sadness.

Indeed.

He's rubbish. A big, gormless lump. I appreciate those trying to put a positive spin on it, but really, it's hard to get excited about this sort of signing.

We'll probably sell Vlaar now and he'll turn out to be his replacement. Imagine that.

[not3bad]

he's constantly injured as well.

Hurrah! I was hoping for another sicknote!

[Jimbo]

Is there such a thing as primal vomiting therapy, because I think that's what I need right now?

I've snapped my achilles just thinking about him.

Is he that bad in all honesty? He's not great, no-one signing for us is going to be given the current situation of uncertainty, but hes solid, not a player to sell season tickets but solid.

No complaints from me.

He's the opposite to solid. He's liquid. Or is that gas. He's essentially condensation.

[pauliewalnuts]

The injury thing is a worry.

I've just had a quick look and, across spells at Valencia, Fulham, Everton and Milan, he's started 62 league matches since august 2008.

In fact, since 2001 he has only started 139 league games. Over 13 years, that's nothing.

As a Villa fan I haven't watched enough of Senderos to have a strong opinion about him. To say he is shit is no different to watch Harewood or Heskey on YouTube and think they are really good. Should he sign I just hope he does well when called upon and has a very good WC.

Don't imagine that. Not for a single moment.

O, that way madness lies; let me shun that;
No more of that.

Basically, he's a concept.

[SoccerHQ]

Wonder what he'll be earning a week given he's a free transfer and he's been playing in the prem for 10 years now.

I'll guess at 30k a week.

Come on. You're now in danger of becoming the villa kicks antithesis.

Au contraire.

I'm far from automatically anti our signings or players, I've spent most of tonight defending Chris Herd, even, but I just look at Senderos and see a big, unaware lump who really isn't very good.

I'll wait and see if we start to do what we need to - buy starters better than those we have - this summer before I dive off any bridges, but I'm not going to pretend I don't think he's rubbish.

Maybe he's coming to be our third choice, but even if that's the case, why are we wasting time and money pissing about on third choice centre backs when we're already one CB better off than last year with Okore?

Anyway, fuck it, I think he's shit, but I genuinely don't care too much. It's not as if we've signed Altidore.

Yet.
