I heard the manager of Brentford say last night when asked about the transfer "we placed a valuation on the player and that figure was met".(Translation- We placed an exorbitant valuation on him and fuck me Villa have been silly enough to pay it.) He at least had the good manners to keep a straight face.

They seemed decent blokes but I assumed they were binge drinking.

Even I gave Westwood, Bennett, Lowton etc 90 minutes before I wrote them off (albeit in a friendly).
