Aaron Tshibola

[not3bad]

Welcome Aaron! Another very promising signing!

[Gregorys Boy]

Hope stats are misleading.  Good luck to him is all I can say at this stage.

[Toronto Villa]

Welcome Tish.

RDM only a decent striker away from replacing the spine of the team already.

Didn't see much evidence of a spine last season....

baddum tshi

Welcome Aaron be awesome for us please.

[Chris87]

He's got a great song too, which goes to the tune of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold'.

Kid already looks good in the training pics on the OS. We needed a more imposing presence in the middle.

There's a link at the bottom with Clarke talking about the player when he was manager.  The fact that the coach knows him well and still wanted to sign him can only be a good thing.  In fact he was probably identified as a potential signing before Clarke had see our current squad in training which again suggests that Clarke wanted him regardless of what talent we already have.

Thanks for the link, an interesting read and I had no idea that Jaap Stam was their manager now.

Welcome to the Villa Aaron.

[Toronto Villa]

I like players where the description ox is used.

[PeterWithesShin]

Gabby was heavier than an ox last season.

[sirlordbaltimore]

I like players where the description ox is used.

you'd have loved it last season then, half the squad were complete bollox

[OCD]

It's interesting that all 3 players we've signed are one's that the coaching staff knew directly. It suggests that they're going with what they know and that the scouting network needs to be totally rebuilt.

To be fair the first signings of a new regime are often players they know from former clubs. Especially if the new regime includes Harry Rednapp.
