    Odd choice, seems like the cheap option to me...

    Just you wait; we'll spend £60m on a centre-back.

    As I said above Fran, I'm ok with this. We're better than villa and if we continue to play pressing up the pitch, he'll be ok. He may even be able to cross the ball. One assist at Andield and he has equalled Shaw!!

    Plus, helpful for Targett's development. It tells me that they are close to thinking Targett is ready but need an insurance policy.

    We've got someone over the line at least. Need birds in the hands; not loads in the bush.

    Well at least we can move from 5 aside games to 6 aside during training. To me they must really rate Targett. If he is that good why pay 15m Euros for a left back this season, when he won't be needed next.

    Well I've just had a message off a Villa fan with a load of 'crying with laughter' faces and "he was even **** for Villa!"

    I just don't like Bertrand is all. Hopefully Targett plays 99% of the time.

    Stunned how the club kept this one so quiet. Very rare nowadays. Simon Peach is saying there's a view to permanent at the end of the loan deal.

    That's the view from almost every Villa fan, and these guys played Nathan Baker.

    He's an improvement on Danny Fox!! Prem experience with a point to prove. Who's to say Targett won't keep him out the team like Chambers and Clyne last season. I think it's a decent move and it leaves us 92 mil to spend. Got my optimistic hat on for this one

    Well, I can't say I'm excited or pleased - but welcome Ryan and lets see what you can do...

    Good news. We still have £92 million available for the rest of our signings.

    All of Villa was **** though, easy for them to pick him because he wasn't one of theirs.

    We're not going to spend nearly all of that. We could have comfortably spared £10-15m for a good left back.

    All my hopes lie with Matty Targett now, go on lad.
