Okore was really highly rated, that 14 months out seemed to do for him.

So who are his scouting successes ?

'Activity Plus', 'Animal Carer', 'Collector's Badge', 'Fire Safety' and 'Home Help'  ;)

So, old Lange signed?
I would like to apologise for my acquaintance poster here and hopefully this will be forgot and never brought to mind.

Welcome Johan. And well done to Villa management for acting swiftly in dismissal of old and appointment of new.

I would like to think we will operate a two tier transfer system. Paying big money for some established proven top quality players but given that every signing can't be a ten million quid plus signing looking to find some promising value players whether they become first teamers with us or whether we move them on whilst still getting a decent price for them.

More importantly are we going to call him 'Mutt'?

Who knows, I guess, but it does sound like his CV suits our last phase in a more obvious way, assembing a team of £9m players as efficently as possible. I guess the skills are transferable. He certainly seems well regarded.

Okore was terrible, right up their with the very worst defenders we've had.

Didn’t he stand with the fans at a pre season friendly. Walsall?

At the very least you'd hope this will be the end of the baston / jota type signings. If we go down the route of lower-league signings, hopefully they'll be of a higher standard.

Signing the best players in the Championship was what started Spurs on their upward trajectory.

I think he started to look decent before his injury and like a completely different player afterwards. Sad really.
