Ritchie De Laet - CONFIRMED

[TheMalandro]

Welcome. He is a regular member of the Church of De Laeter Saints Apparently.

Agbonlahor is also a Mormon, I think I've heard.

[Percy McCarthy]

Welcome Ritchie.

First time I've checked H&V and seen no mention of a player, then checked again after a half-hour power nap to find his signing confirmed.

Like it.

[Ron Manager]

It appears he likes to attack at speed but his final ball sometimes let's him down.

Remind you of someone else!

We shall see.

[Mossie Hennebry]

I like Alan Hutton.  There I have said it.

As do I. He can never be faulted for effort and whilst he might take your head clean off your shoulders on the pitch, he behaves like a normal adult off it. Unlike the various man-children that we have at the club.

Well something like that!

Should mean the end of Alan Hutton. Better De Laet than never I suppose.

Should mean the end of Alan Hutton. Better De Laet than Evra I suppose.

OK that one actually pained me.

[darren woolley]

Welcome Ritchie to our club.

I hope he traps a ball better than Bacuna, especially in front of our biggest stand at home.  Control-Holte-De Laet.

Sorry, that's awful.

[villadelph]

Had no idea this was even in the works. I'm happy we're getting winners into the team.

Welcome to Villa!

[Witton Warrior]

I like Alan Hutton.  There I have said it.

Most of us like him but that doesn't make him a good footballer I'm afraid...

[Pat McMahon]

De Laet's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it

Made me laugh more than it should have done!

And better than half the entries from the Edinburgh Fringe on the jokes thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I like Alan Hutton.  There I have said it.

Most of us like him but that doesn't make him a good footballer I'm afraid...

Hutton's biggest problem is he can't cross despite endlessly getting himself into great positions. Such a shame.

De Laet can so he's more than welcome.

[PeterWithesShin]

I hope he traps a ball better than Bacuna, especially in front of our biggest stand at home.  Control-Holte-De Laet.

Sorry, that's awful.

[Risso]

Yes sorry PWS, even Jon Crofts would have thought twice about posting that.

[JUAN PABLO]

De Laet can so he's more than welcome.

and then when it hits the first man and the other team  attacks he is well out of position.
