Spending 5 mill on a defender in the Jan transfer window? Are you sure, not exactly an area we need to desperately reinforce at the moment, I’d rather put the money towards a striker! Whats Johnson like anyway? I know he did well in the lower leagues, but for 5 mill he’d have to be way better than what we’ve already got!

We have a full squad to choose from. What’s the betting Villa have too? Those three players were rested on Thursday because M’oN knew he could win that one with his reserve team out and the opposition had just nine on at the end. Roman The Centurion up front Sunday with Miller to dust them up towards the end.
