We are stepping up our efforts to sign Whelan apparently.

Is the bottom picture Tim Sherwood taken on the day he left the club?

Surely the Polish season is over? We should send our scouts to Greenland.

He's here to scout players from the under 21s

Is Whelan the Future?

Watching the Confederation Cup New Zealand had a couple of decent looking relatively youngsters, Thomas and Rojas.  Both creative forward looking midfielders with pace.
Failing that we might consider a bid for Sonny Bill Williams to add some strength, he seems pretty adaptable.
In fact anyone but Whelan.

I doubt any New Zealand youngster would get a work permit.

I just long for a couple of players with pace.  We are the slowest side in history.

I read somewhere earlier that Derby have had a £1m bid accepted for Whelan

We're so slow, we already are history. Our midfield is a tear in the space-time continuum, and that's why so many of our midfielders go missing.

I find us ponderous. We are slow in thought and execution. You don't have to lightning quick to be effective. Our midfielders don't move quickly into open spaces which I find more annoying than the lack of overall pace in the side.

I've thought this since the days of Young and Milner leaving us for pastures new. We are a slow and pedestrian team and have been for years.

Twitter reckons Tommy E to Derby 3.5 M

Also apparently we are trying to sign a young Brazilian striker from Gremio - as he hasn't been listed on their rosters for 2 years, I think that's somewhat dubious...LOL

BREAKING: Aston Villa set to announce a double signing tomorrow. Fantastic bit of business done by Bruce. #avfc
