Bizzare decision IMO, the Guys 37 and didn't have the legs when he left Arsenal, cant really see this as a signing that's going to influence Villa's season, but hey I might be proved wrong

Think he'll just be a waste of wages to be honest, fair enough if he was still on form but he's been released by Villareall..

A huge over reaction IMO, he had a few very good seasons at Villareal, obviously he wont have the pace anymore, but Giggs was the same as Pires, a flying winger who beat people. but as time has gone on both players have developped in other areas.

Although I dont think its a good signing for Villa, i am not gonna write him off just yet.

Also, how Stephen Ireland isnt a key player for them is beyond me.

Next thing you know Villa be after Bob Malcolm.

Fabulous player. Obviously someone other than him thinks he can still do a job. Who knows?
