I know exactly the point he's making. But if you cannot land your two primary and secondary targets, it makes sense to have a third of quality lined up. Surprise to surprise he doesn't rate him, but that's subjective. The difference is, as Kevingage points out, it's either Fer or Hologram and Whelan.
Time will tell about his quality.

Strange signing, has flattered to deceive at a few clubs and hardly fits the profile of the "growing market value" type that Smith was on about earlier in week. Hope he hasn't been bought off the back off the Cup game a couple of weeks back.

To borrow from Wodehouse, it is never difficult to distinguish between brontebilly's opinion of goings on at the Villa and a ray of sunshine!

Not strange really is it? We need somebody big and physical to screen the defence.
Yup big, physical and mobile too. God knows we need to plug that porous defence of ours.

The concern if this drags on too long might be the medical results.

Didn't he fail one just as he was about to join Everton a few years back?

I always thought he was more of an attacking midfielder. Buy I thibk he playrd very well as a holding midfielder in the fa Cup game?

As far as I can tell there is little to no sign we're even interested in him apart from loads of people running with it on Twitter based on 1 tweet from Alan Nixon.

It's that Brian Green and his chemistry-based punnery. There was nothing before then.

Anyway, thanks, Google Translate. l'equipe

He's an absolute arsehole on the pitch but he bossed the game when they thrashed us in the FA Cup a few weeks back.

We do need a few more arseholes.  Lansbury's that sort but he's never fit enough to play so this is probably a good move.

I hope I’m wrong but I’ve got a horrible feeling that this one isn’t going to happen.
