It's always exciting watching new arrivals, so I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

The best debut I can recall (pretty sure it was his debut, but given I was about 10 I can't be 100% sure and can't be arsed to look!) was Mr Didier Six v Man Utd.  He never seemed to hit the same heights after, but he seemed so exotic to my eyes back then.

I remember a (I think South American) midfielder we signed who played such a good long cross field ball on his debut I thought he'd be ace, and now I can't even remember his name.

This is going to sound really weird, but do you mean Carlos Sanchez, the Columbian? Because if you do, I think I actually remember that pass - which is a VERY strange thing to remember, considering last year I almost forgot my missus' birthday!

That's man-kind for ya!

Yep that's the one. That pass was perfect and I thought our midfield issues were being solved.

Ugo's home debut was quite memorable

On the subject of great passes on debut, I still remember Isiah Osborne playing a brilliant lofted reverse pass into the path of an onrushing winger on his first or second appearance, and thinking "blimey, this kid could be our playmaker for the next ten years!"

Similarly, Barry Bannan with a sublime pass to Mark Albrighton for a great goal (against Fulham?)

[eamonn]

Didn't Osborne assist Chris Sutton's only goal for the Villa when we won at Goodison circa November 2006?

[Risso]

Good to see him get some minutes, should have marked it with a goal. Nice run to be in the right spot though.

[Dave P]

Must of been a weird game to come into but glad he’s got his debut out the way.

Yeah, it was a shame.

[ROBBO]

I know you can only beat whats in front of you but oh dear they were diabolical. I thought their player soon to be our player again was their best when he came on.

Yes but we didn't wait around to find out how average they were unlike 6 weeks ago

[AV82EC]

Nice little cameo and he seemed to fit into the structure very well. Seemed strong on the ball and comfortable in possession. Be interested to see how he deals with games with more intensity.

I wonder how we’d all be feeling about him if it had been 0-0 when he missed that one and more importantly how he’d be felling himself.

If it was 0-0 we might not have seen him or he would have been playing with the better creative players still on the pitch......
