Philippe Senderos

Only one reminder of the dreamy transfer window in which we signed Joe Cole, Senderos and Kieran Richardson.

That's a clutch of championship signings if ever I saw one.

Oh well, you know people say things come in threes. Bye Kieran.

Quite. I put money on us to go down that summer. Didn't this last one of course.

Philippe despite his reputation played well for us in his 9 games. But the problem with Philippe, and a reason why we shouldn't have signed him, is that he's always injured. It was inevitable. We had Blancmange Ron here taking up the treatment table so what did we do? We signed his Swiss cousin.
Good luck to him. I think perhaps moving to a less physically demanding league, he might be able to extend his playing career a bit longer. For someone we all expected to be an utter disaster he never really let us down on the pitch. The trouble is, as expected, he just didn't get on the pitch.

His performance when he bullied Ballotelli was a real highlight ;-)

Yes, a Villa career highlight was what he did off the ball in 1 game, says a lot about our eye for a player.  Fucking hell I want to cry.

Former Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos has retired at the age of 34.

Senderos joined Arsenal in 2003 - but missed their unbeaten Premier League title season of 2003-04 with back and foot injuries - and won the FA Cup before moving to Fulham in 2010.

He had spells with Aston Villa and Rangers and won 57 Switzerland caps, playing at three World Cups.

"I couldn't be more thankful for the blessings and opportunities I've had over the years," he wrote on Instagram.

Senderos, who also made two appearances on loan at Everton, played in Major League Soccer for Houston Dynamo from 2017-18 and he ended his career in his native Switzerland with FC Chiasso in the second tier.

On social media he thanked all the teams he had played for - including his loan sides Everton and Milan - adding: "To my friends and amazing family, thank you a million times over. I look forward to the next chapter."

The first 38 pages are people hoping we don't sign him. The next 15 are saying it's a shit signing. 2 pages praising him after the Liverpool game, the remainder of pages were celebrating him leaving.

I thought we were signing him again!

Outside of Andy Lochhead, Dion Dublin  and The Mighty Atom, we have not been best served by baldies.

I have no memory of him ever playing for Villa. I must be getting old.
