Several reports suggesting we're confident of getting him

I don't think he was injured all the time last season was he? Just not considered good enough?

I wonder if sherwood sees him as a right back or centre back?

Kieran Trippier's mum works in my local convenience store and his cousin goes to my school.  I'll see what I can find out...

I asked her a little earlier.  Apparently he'd like to continue playing in the Premier League but doesn't want to move away from the Manchester area.

If he can get back to what he was he'd be a big asset. Plus we have fuck all to spend at the moment, so it'd be good to get a new body in if we can.

I actually thought Micah Richards was older. To be fair 26 is a decent age, and enough time to improve. I think because of injuries he's never quite ironed out the defensive sloppiness that he may have with more games under his belt.
I suppose on a free it's an okay deal. Can he do any worse than Ron Vlaar?

We had a bed going spare in the physio suite so it makes perfect sense.

Apparently he turned down £90,000 pw @ Sunderland to accept our £65,000pw....

£65,000 I severley doubt we'd pay that.

That'll cover anywhere from Newcastle to Swansea.

Better than any of our defenders, if fit.

Great signing and I hope we pull it off.

If he stays fit then we could possibly have one of the best right backs at Villa we've ever had....and in his prime.

Could get the ball rolling.

Proves he won't go where the money is (although 65000 is some wedge)
It also gives an indication of what Benteke will be offered.

Same here, much older. Near retirement older. If we can keep him fit he's a fine player.

We might use him at centre back.
