Now that, is exactly what we've been missing from our midfield since the days of Bruce Rioch.

Der Hammer?

DarDer Hammer?

Interesting if it is true. We have bemoaned our midfield for so long, so if we do spend big again on this lad to got with Delph and Guerre then at least we appear to be trying to improve it. I do wonder if Sanchez might go the other way in any deal though.

Still like us to get that Chery lad. Looks unpredictable.

Chery lad - wasn't she a Charlies Angel ??

Thomas was ok but no match for Bruce. In Bruce's best days a free kick anywhere close to 18 yard box was as good as a penalty to us.

Bruce Rioch was better than James Milner in central midfield.Absolute class with a hammer of shot that was always accurate. A post war Villa great!

[ROBBO]

Seldom mentioned but in my opinion one of the best players seen in a Villa shirt in the last sixty years.

If i had to compare his foot to a piece of engineering, I'd opt for the traction engine.

Shit!

GARBUTT TO BE LOANED

Roberto Martinez intends to send Everton left-back Luke Garbutt out on loan this season for first-team experience.

The 22-year-old signed a new five-year contract at Goodison Park in July, but is still behind Leighton Baines in the full-back pecking order.

Martinez said: "What is important for Luke is for him to play. He has to experiment in the game and learn from the game, and if it is in the Premier League it has to be in an environment where he can play."

Not convinced he's ready from what I've see and would much prefer Amavi permanently. But we were linked

Wonderkid,talented.and we are offering 1Mil.Perhaps we should consider offering a bit more if he is that good and close the deal quickly.

There is absolutely no way on earth that we should be considering loaning players from Everton to give them game time.

Here here!

[ozzjim]

Agreed. Top 4 sides fair enough but not developing a player for a club of the same level.

[RussellC]

Alan Nixon on Twitter is suggesting that Swansea have agreed a fee for Mason Holgate at Barnsely (£500k + add-ons, making it £1m overall) but that the player and agent fees were too high. He's saying that now Villa know the fees he's expecting us to make a move.

No more loan players! We'll certainly not from Premier League clubs anyway. Let Everton do their own dirty work and give him experience in the PL.
