Pepe Reina to Villa is done.Outstanding signing.
Pepe Reina at 37 is roughly the equivalent of signing a 32 year old defender. He has had 13 games in the last 18 months and just one game this season. This is not the same player that left Liverpool he is a significant downgrade on Heaton but might be the best available option such is the nature of the January window. I see Smith is talking up his leadership qualities which I always think is compensation for the fact that he isn't the player he once was. On this subject I note that he managed to get himself sent off from the bench for Milan earlier this season a calming influence in a crisis eh?
In the same school year as Foster, who is far better than Heaton. Reina is another level up on Ben.
Promising debut from Drinkwater. Nice to see him rekindle the excellent partnership he had with Mahrez at Leicester.
Anybody listen to the WM phone in last night?A seal phoned in and wanted Pulis on a short term deal to keep them up then get Arsen Wenger in next season They never stop do they?
It was an Albion fan on the wind up. 😀
Please God don't let them get Nzonzi.
They get him, go down, we snap him up in the fire sale as an epic replacement for the useless skipper!! Win win.
Will they become a Yo-Yo club?
Aston Villa have made a £4.2m bid to sign former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, 30, from Turkish club Trabzonspor.Hope he does as well for them as he did for us
If - and as we know it's a very big if - he can be kept fit then it's cracking signing. Super player. Shame we only got to see him for about half an hour.
