Mile Jedinak - Released

[PaulWinch again]

I hope his clearance comes through quick and that he can be the player who helps us avoid dropping late points in games, which we've done for some years.

[adrenachrome]

Good news. No doubt about it. We march forwards inexorably.

[KRS]

Welcome to the Villa! Do us proud!

Hi all , Palace fan in peace. I have always had a soft spot for your club and wishing you a great season ahead so that you will be back where you belong very soon....thanks for lending us our first ever kit by the way . You have signed a Palace legend in Mile Jedinak and bloody well done! He is a man of steel, afraid of no one and just a great leader and professional. I honestly wish we still had him, but he will be perfect for you guys now and I will make a point of following your progress more carefully....actually I hate the prem, its not about love of club anymore just about fecking money. Mile is a rare thing as you will find out, the last of loyal warriors and he will give you 100% at all levels. Go well Villa!

Have been a big fan of Mile since he started playing in the A League, when there was talk, some five years ago, of a an EPL club being interested in him I just hoped that it would be the Villa.

All the positives being written about him are spot on, he always gives 100% (Ron Saunders would have loved him) and is a real leader.

Really looking forward to seeing him in the our shirt, hopefully on Saturday v Derby.

(I should have said 'on Sunday morning 2.30 AM, Oz time!').

A  look at him in action:

[Dave Cooper please]

Sky, always a bit late to the party wrote on their transfer pager after the Doc tweeted, "Stand by your beds Aston Villa fans ... " ....is this a saying I've never heard before, to stand by your beds!?

Army, kit inspection.

Ah right, I see now. Does it work in terms of a transfer announcement though?

It became a saying to expect/be ready for something happening immediately.

Always preferred "Hands off cocks and on socks" myself.

[Clark W Griswold]

I think he'll become our best player by a mile.

Hey Palace fan in peace - Thank you for coming here and your kind words. If we were playing Top Trumps how would you rate Mile Jedinak now on - free kicks, penalty taking, heading, speed, tackling, dribbling, leadership, attitude, positional play, passing?

[not3bad]

Sounds very encouraging indeed. Welcome Mile and I look forward to seeing you play for The Villa.

He plays in the number 15 shirt. You know who plays in that number from us, don't you?

Bye bye Pointy

I wouldn't be so eager to get rid of Westwood. I think he's a pretty useful
squad player. He's certainly better than Gardner.

[garyshawsknee]

I'm not a big fan of Westwood, but we would need another addition who's better than him before I'd let him go. We're lacking experience in the middle of the pitch and for how average he is, Westwood could still do a job there.

They can both go. I'd like to see a better player than Westwood. It's ok when we are on the front foot as he keeps things ticking over. However he has literally no presence at all when the opponents have the ball like the other night. I understand him as a squad player and being better than Gardner who's career hasn't ever got going after those injuries. But I'd like to see us move on from Westwood who IMO is nondescript at best.
