Just the kind of signing we needed to put pressure on our CBs for their position...or something.

If it's reserve Arsenal CBs we were after, I'd have much preferred Rob Holding.



Now he truly is rubbish!

Arsenal ruin defenders. He won't set the world alight but is a useful squad player

My son 10 mins ago came into the living room, which it itself is unusual, as at 17 he’s either head in the fridge, our local Weatherspoons or his room, saying Dad have you seen this? Calum Chambers! Very happy and well done Villa 😆😆

A Carl Tiler for the YouTube generation.
Was at VP for his debut

And me. Didn’t he score against Forest who we just signed him from. November 96.

We needed a player for those positions and for someone who isn’t guaranteed a starting place he’s a very good signing. We don’t fuck about any more by the looks of it !

I wonder if he can a actually control and pass the ball and not look like he’s been struck by lightning when pressed like the other CB’s we have

Can't think of too many downsides to this. Seems a sensible move.

Please don't remind me. Tiler was truly dreadful.

Free or £2 million depending on what you believe.

I'm guessing somewhere in between. https://twitter.com/jamesbenge/status/1486790239792291844

The Arsenal fans don't seem that pleased and would have kept him till his contract ran out. Basically said he's solid and has played well the last 2 seasons, just not one of Arteta's favourites.

Agent Lange working under the radar again!

CB/RB which adds to the depth across the back 4.

Solid pro, ACL problem a year ago.

If we can get him up to the level he was at before, then we've done some good business, especially given the minimal amount we've shelled out.

I think it's OK.

I am pleased with how the club is being run though. Seems a smart signing on a free.

I'm sure eventually the rest of the media will report that we are linked with him, and may sign after a medical at the weekend. That there are other PL clubs also interested.

If it’s including salary saved … well  that’s £1.5m there (was on £60k/wk), so guessing it’s basically a free transfer with us having to pay them £500k if he turns out to be a world beater.

Not bowled over by the signing, but we needed a defender and he is one, so happy days. Even more so if he turns out to be good.
