James Collins

[Bad English]

If he can shore up our defence, allowing us to take 15 points then why not? I don't give a fuck if he's a twat as long as he stops opposition twats from scoring and distributes the ball to our players in a non-twattish manner.

It's much the same as Pires - a short-term move to get us out of a short-term problem.

[Pete3206]

Wow, welcome to Villa James!

[john e]

it’s reportedly a 5 week contract not a season long one on big bucks

I hope Villa have moved into a more sensible time with this sort of thing now which will make a change from times past

[Risso]

It's much the same as Pires - a short-term move to get us out of a short-term problem.

Hopefully with a bit more success than that particular example.

[brian green]

Anybody fancy a bet on how many games he plays in that five weeks?  My money is on three with a saver on two.

[brian green]

A word of explanation because I back DS totally.  I doubt that he is match fit and at this time of year in winter conditions injuries come thick and fast.

Yes he was awful we actually paid for a taxi to and from London every day.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's a massive twat but thanks to spuddy we don't have a fat lot of choice. I doubt he'll play much as he'll be cover, and I hope he doesn't. Pisses me off though that we have little choice but to top up that wankers pension pot.

[sirlordbaltimore]

A temporary move that makes total sense

What exactly happened with Sid? i mean as in actually happened not just rumours

[JJ-AV]

Excluding one incident that very few know the full details of, he’s always seemed OK. Welcome back Collins.

[ChicagoLion]

Did he make some inappropriate remarks when he left?

[Villafirst]

Collins is a good option at this stage. We've no other choice until January. I don't get the derogatory comments??

[London Villan]

According to reports he got into a scuffle with Gordon Cowans at a club training camp. He was also a bit of a twat when he came back with West Ham, making some choice comments to the Lower Trinity.

[Risso]

There was also the nightclub incident with Chris Herd and Snakeboy.
