Never fear, we can all wish him happy birthday in years to come just like the official villa Facebook page is inviting us to do to James Milner today (cringe).
 

Really? 'kin 'ell, it's bad enough half our fanbase continue to blow Milner years later, without the club doing the same. Can we have the person who does his BoringJamesMilner twitter account as head of our social media instead?

Good luck Rudy, hard worker and good man. It's a shame he could only head the ball.
Also a pity no manager played to his strength.

Lost count of the number of players, who weren't good enough for us and are now playing at a higher level than us.
So I wish Gestede the best of luck,score loads of goals and be another one to prove us wrong!

It's strange timing, but maybe the chance of getting our money back on a fringe player was too good to pass up.  Anyway we need two new midfielders and a striker as the bare minimum this transfer window, if we are to have even a remote chance of getting into the play offs.  AND we need them to be able to hit the ground running.  Big ask.

I though the'd be a great signing for us.  It hasn't worked out mainly due to the fact he isn't as good as we all thought he might be. I can't see him being much better at Boro but I wish him well.

This!! 4 goals in 11 games under Sherwood then no one crossed it for him for 40 plus games. Hope Boro play to his strength all the best Rudy!

Not sure what Boro have seen in Rudy that we haven't seen, but good luck to him. He's back in the PL a lot quicker than we will be.
Maybe they think him and Rhodes will find their Blackburn form.

I saw today Boro have the lowest amount of shots, one of the lowest amounts of goals, lowest shooting accuracy, maybe they've decided to bypass having shots altogether and try just headers instead.

As others have said, he seems a very decent man, so good luck to him. At times I wondered how he ever became a professional. We need a replacement with speed or movement, or we could give RHM a go.

Good luck Rudy. Did not really click with us but he may do well with Boro.

His better moments for us were when he Camden in in the latter stages of games.  If they use him exclusively in that role then he may do OK.
