01 Jul 2017 14:55:43
Love the away kit,

01 Jul 2017 15:04:33
Yes its quality tbf.

01 Jul 2017 17:35:12
Not lovin the style of the sponsor tbh kits themselves are nice but i feel the blue has been washed out and a bit pale these days preferred the nike ones.

01 Jul 2017 20:43:46
like em both.

03 Jul 2017 06:04:59
Love the away and can't go wrong with the formula of light blue sleeves and claret body UTV.

04 Jul 2017 10:08:43

RUDDY - Ex Norwich keeper wants to join Villa on a free

Is he any good?

30 Jun 2017 11:42:48
If he was that good norwich wouldn't of let him go would they? His desperate for a club he knows we need a gk number 2 at best.

30 Jun 2017 12:16:02
He is quality!
Best option by a country mile!

Released as Norwich can't afford his watches anymore.

30 Jun 2017 14:13:42
He is better than what we have got at the moment.

30 Jun 2017 17:16:27
Ruddy would be a far better choice than Johnson,
That's only my opinion but he has the presence and is very vocal,
And along with Terry would be a very good twosome!
Johnson is taking his time where to go so piss him off,

30 Jun 2017 17:18:52
Listen to most Norwich fans and why most will miss john ruddy,
They love him and the only reason he is going is because of there new German manager,
I welcome him if rummors are true that is!

30 Jun 2017 23:18:26
Watches or wages Flackie?

01 Jul 2017 15:52:19
Hey wtw do you ever have anything positive to say ruddy would be a cracking signing. I watch your negative responces and wince your entitled to your view but come on bloke get behind the manager and players and club. Your meant to be a supporter!

27 Jun 2017 21:20:26
John Terry signing to be announced July 1st.

28 Jun 2017 11:15:53
John Terry yes please - what do we get - the best defender there has been in the premiership, with a previous season where he had a rest and was fully able to recover from injury and niggles, a born leader who hates loosing, the best defense organiser in the premiership player who contributes with goals from central defense. A player who has won everything (except the Championship) .

A player who although will not play every game can come off the bench when he is not in the starting 11 to manage the game to a conclusion and hopefully prevent games that we were leading in becoming draws. A defensive coach for Baker and Chester and the up and coming kids, and hope he will change the club mentality to a winning mentality. If he does that worth every penny.

28 Jun 2017 19:07:48
Could this happen?
A first class arse kicker and organiser.
Exactly what is needed in this team, shirkers beware.

28 Jun 2017 19:42:05
Aslong as he dosent eye up the wags should be a good signing.

29 Jun 2017 21:09:30
This Terry thing could go either way!
He could get into the players we have and get a really positive affect on the villa and take us up to the promised land!
Or it could be the worse possible signing and we are stuck in the championship for another 1 year or more!

I don't know what to think if I'm honest,
But I wish these other transfers would start to show now it's getting to be the john Terry show where nobody else matters?

24 Jun 2017 08:15:15
Darren Gibson to the villa, Cm, not sure what i feel about this?

24 Jun 2017 10:30:41
wheres this come from? I really like him but his struggled with injuries.

25 Jun 2017 07:22:52
cant say, just thought i'd share it.

22 Jun 2017 08:33:24
Hull citys elmohamady set to join villa according to the papers just what we need another right bk as we only have hutton de laat an bree.

{Ed001's Note - he is more of a right mid who covers at full back.}

22 Jun 2017 09:02:21
maybe bruce and co knows something we don't about the other three? plus bacuna.

22 Jun 2017 15:12:48
It would be better if we sorted out the goalie first,
This is dragging on a bit now,
Blues brought in the best championship goalie from brighton on a freebie!
Will bree get a place now we have all these r/ sided players?
Ledley would be a good fit if only for his beard?
Whelan I hope goes elsewhere nothing special in my opinion,
I am expecting 2 players in by the weekend
And would like to see some movement on amavia/ vertout/ gil/ and plus bacuna and Richards if possible,

20 Jun 2017 10:09:36
Villa could be looking to sign the recently released John Ruddy as the team's new goalkeeper.

He seems like a decent option with quite many great saves.
What do you think, lads?

20 Jun 2017 14:24:28
Hope this rummor is true,
I wanted either japonica from Hull or ruddy!
I don't rate this Johnson as much as Bruce does,
Excuse my spelling of the hull keeper,

10 Jun 2017 20:03:43
A couple of days into the transfer window and I thought the rumours would be flying thick and fast, but nothing. Where are all the rumour mongers?

10 Jun 2017 23:31:47
The actual window opens properly on July 1st mate.

02 Jun 2017 14:33:55
vegard forren a centre-back is joining us on a free transfer from Brighton Hove Albion he is a Norwegian international.

03 Jun 2017 05:39:35
rubbish player. been at Southampton and Brighton and not got 1 game. if we are going to sign a guy like this give youth a shirt for god sake.

03 Jun 2017 08:32:55
I got this from eurosport mate they said deal was done just waiting for a anouncement. I don't know a lot about him but I do wonder why he never played for either club? But if Bruce thinks and this is his words Iam only buy players with that little bit of quality then he must be good? Surely Steve Bruce wouldn't get us a poor player? Iam hoping he will be more like Laursen rather than okore lol.

03 Jun 2017 11:31:31
"Giving the youth a go" is fine assuming they are good enough. Maybe they are not.
I've nothing against playing young kids but they have to be good enough
It should be for the kids themselves to put in performances in front of Bruce that make it impossible for him to leave them out. Like Andre Green has done.

03 Jun 2017 11:51:52
Agreed tony xia said so far there is zero transfer activity both in an out i just wonder where eurosport come from saying we signed him?

03 Jun 2017 11:23:44
easy answer is if you had to google the lad he's not what we need right now.

03 Jun 2017 19:23:11
He must have something, he is a pro, and an international at a decent national side.
Sometimes the player doesn't fit the club. Sometimes after this the player has a point to prove.
Ireland for example, wnak for us, look what happened at stoke.
ok bad example.

Cleverly. hang on.

Djemba djembe.

Look fine me a minute.

Got it, senderos.!

I give in. Walkthewalk was right, (that hurt! ) Don't sign him.

03 Jun 2017 21:09:24
Haha luv it Flackie mate. Going on holiday now so I expect that people will be thanking there lucky stars but be aware if we havnt brought Ronaldo or Messi it will be moan moan lol. Top lad Flackie UTV.

04 Jun 2017 11:04:01
I know youth has to be good enough mendax but you missed my point mate. my point was that if we are going to take a chance on a guy that has NOT been good enough for Brighton and Southampton and has not made a single games for either then give that chance to one of our young defenders like the guy Bruce bought in for bury. he must see something in him he bought him. to me this is bs as tony has stated.

05 Jun 2017 18:58:03
I didn't miss your point Kingy, you just didn't explain it well enough.
You have done now though and I can see where you are coming from
Now I just disagree with you mate.

05 Jun 2017 19:46:57
what part do you disagree with. the fact that he is not good enough or the fact that you may as well give youth a try rather than waste money on a crap player. ?

07 Jun 2017 18:16:14
I don't agree with your premise which seems to suggest, if we are going to play someone crap, play someone young and crap from the youth team
I agree that we shouldn't sign this guy if he's poor (I know nothing about him) but I don't conflate the argument to propose we play a youth player regardless of ability.

08 Jun 2017 04:33:49
no I did not mean that mate. I don't want a poor player in the team full stop. what I ment was rather than waste money on a poor player give a untried young player a chance if they are deemed good enough. don't waste money on rubbish and never give a young guy a chance. for me we here a lot about how good our youth is but we never seem to bring em through and give them a run like other teams do like Southampton or spurs for example. yes we have jack in and out and green is pushing but still seems to me like the mindset is let's spend on x player who is a gamble rather than try our own lads.

08 Jun 2017 20:25:28
But that's the point, we are giving young players a chance. In general they just prove not to be good enough.
Maybe we needed to question why that is?
Why are we not attracting youngsters of the right ability or what is wrong with our coaching methods once we have them.

09 Jun 2017 05:05:34
scouts or lack of them were not good enough in UK and around world. tony said this when took over and one of the main things we are putting in place. let's hope we start to see the results of this in the future.

09 Jun 2017 14:47:13
I'd agree with that mate.
