I'm not sure who as I'm completely out of sync with who plays for who. But, for me I'm sure for the money that we spent on what admittedly could turn out to be a good player, could have been spent wiser on a tried and tested left-back based in this country.
Other left-backs who have moved are Patrick van Aanholt to Sunderland, Ryan Bertrand on loan to Southampton, Luke Shaw to Man Utd, Aaron Cresswell to West Ham and Ben Davies to Spurs.

If we take Shaw and Davies out of the equation for obvious reasons, would you have preferred any of the others?

For a couple of million I think this is a very decent addition.

Valencia are my second team

What's this all about? You have a second team? Are we not good enough for you? Sorry, but this whole second team bollocks annoys me. You have one team and that's your lot.


Says who?

It's obviously my opinion. I can't stand it when people support more than one team.


You won't like me then,
I'm of to see Mansfield Town today as they are playing just up the road from me at Northampton, I lived there during the 70's and still have a soft spot for them

I also watch Newport Pagnell Town, actually I am a sponsor and have my company name printed on the back of their track suits,

So All in all we wouldn't get on bosko

I should think it makes foreign/non league football more interesting if you have someone to support. I really don't see the problem as long as they are not direct competition (obviously in my dreams teams would meet in europe then there is no debate who you support).

I think i might start picking one team each from foreign leagues and non league to support. Any suggestions/reasons? I don't want to be no glory hunter though, that would feel too unusual.

Was thinking about this last night. It could be a good signing. I mean, he's only 26 and used to be good a few years ago. There's a chance he could rediscover that form. This picture won me over to be honest:

can't have  second team my arse. I've supported Forest Green as a second team for years. As frustrating as supporting Villa, but good fun and have a great little ground, right on top of a hill in a lovely little town.

This is a different signing to the rest 4 year contract and we paid for him. I think this means the sale is nowhere near and Lambert is here for the duration. (until he gets sacked in a few months anyway)

Forest Green's ground is about 8 miles from me as the crow flies. Unfortunately, the Severn is in the way so its 40 odd miles and an hour away by road. Hence, I've never been there.

My second team is Bristol Rovers (live on BTSport as I type*), which is only 30 mins drive.


*Bristol City are live on Sky at the moment as well. I doubt that both Bristol teams have been live on TV at the same time before (apart, of course, from when they pay each other).

ITV Sport tweeted that 'Villa have signed Liverpool legend Cissokho'.

We've also signed Liverpool legend Joe Cole, Manchester United legend Kieron Richardson and Arsenal legend and World Cup star Phillipe Senderos, things aren't as bad as people make out.

The thing is he was never their player - he's a Valencia legend!  Deluded scousers/media etc.
