Welcome Pepe! Hopefully you can chip in with a few goals too.

Nyland has improved significantly but he’s still young and learning his trade...hopefully Reina will provide some much needed leadership and organisation at the back, and command his area like a boss spreading much needed confidence throughout the team.

Although he looks a lot younger Nyland is 29.

Signing interview.

After Sunday's game, I feel a little better watching that. Just what we need (well, other than a striker)

Seems like a really nice bloke...let’s hope his performances are as good as how well he talks, and his experience rubs off on the players in front of him.

Sounds good, I too would worry about match fitness to throw straight in.  Milan have signed Begovic to replace Reina on the bench - I wonder if Bournemouth wouldn't loan him to a rival or whether we have done it this way to save one of our Premier League loans, as he'd have been as good if not better a shout I'd have thought?

Just can't cope with Woodward trying to feed him answers in case a 37 year-old well-travelled professional doesn't have his own opinions, had to turn off after a couple of minutes.

He might not be everyone's cup of tea as a commentator (I've heard better) but he's not a dick.

Is this the bloke who stood still with his arm in the air as Paolo di Canio bore down on him and tapped the ball into the goal?  Or was that some other bloke from long ago?

Think you are thinking of Barthez for Manchester United.

Welcome to Aston Villa Pepe he's an experienced keeper won the World Cup I reckon he will be a good loan signing.

Sorry, he seems harmless and a nice man. Decent singer too if memory recalls - an old video of him doing Christmas carols while Gabby and "Youngy" sniggered in the background. I just struggle with his interviews significantly.

I don't find his commentary too bad, but the interviews with new players couldn't be any more banal if he tried.
