Are you drunk? What imaginary trophy?

Your village must be missing you....

@avfctransfers1 has just tweeted that a medical has been booked. Normally rated as quite reliable.Not a signing I want to see.

He was calling him an idiot.On topic, I'm resigned to this happening now but I'm very worried that it will backfire because I honestly don't think he'll be able to play enough games to be worth the cost.That said, on the positive side at least it's a good bit of dick swinging. We're the biggest club in this league by a long way and that should involve us convincing players who are too good for this division to give us a season and help us get out of it, that's why I didn't like the strategy of signing decent players from this level. Someone like Chester who had played a fair few games in the premier league the year before and shown he belonged there was a great signing and, unsurprisingly he was one of the genuinely successful signings last year. Taylor (despite my reservations) started to look like another as did Jedinak. Of the signings from the championship only Kodjia looked anything like what we expected. Signing players who are too good for where we are is the best way to stop being here and whilst I don't know if Terry is that he sends a signal that we can attract players who are perceived to be better than where we are.
Life's too short to read the previous pages, so this player may have been mentioned before in connection with JT. If my father and grandfather were alive today I am quite sure they would be drawing comparisons to Frank Barson. An interesting character to say the least for his part in Villa history. To the best of my knowledge JT has yet to get a 7 month ban from football. Here is a link for anyone interested in our great history.https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/dec/16/forgotten-story-frank-barson-aston-villa-manchester-united
