Glen whelean to villa

[Mackemansj1]

Done deal canny signing that, he's played a lot of games for a very decent stoke side these past three seasons or so. He's nowt spectacular but is a very good signing for villa at this level, and should they go up they know he can do a job in the prem.

On paper they are streets ahead of us at the moment.

Imagine having the options and depth they have and signing Glenn Whelan

Bruce should never be allowed money ever

any basket at the moment would be nice, underwhelming so far.

If we signed him people would be queuing up to complain

I would have taken him, would instantly become our best midfielder.

I'd set your expectation meter at a lowish level mate....a top half finish might be as good as it gets.

Was saying to my Dad this morning prepare for a poor one, on current viewing it looks like lower mid table.

Rather have Dave Whelan. Did you know he once broke his leg?

He's a very tidy footballer. Good signing alongside Jedinak and especially having Terry and Richards behind them.

Richards still playing much?

9 years in fact.
Unbelievable the crap on here.
He's too old and too slow for the premier league just like Terry.
McCormack and Rhodes are slow too.
They are getting a huge wage bill which will get even more massive IF they went up.
We tried old past it 30 something's with moyes and it failed utterly.
Bruce spent a fortune last season and didn't get a sniff.
Too many equating spending with getting out of the pub league and it's a complete fallacy.

On paper our squad last year was worth much more than in reality.

 

[gowlcra]

Bruce was good at assembling a decent squad on paper but it never came together on the pitch.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Love how a team hampered by FFP are making more and better signings than us

Hes 100% my type of player on paper.

Add in Hourihane, Lansbury, Bacuna, Elmo and they've certainly got enough depth to rotate when the fixtures pile up.
