    What a signing for Villa. He's Belgium aswell I wish Ming could've told Marty about him.
    Think he only cost them about 7m aswell??

    If they don't lose him Jan, they certainly will in the summer.

    The lad is a Drogba type beast, with a lot of class to boot.

    Awesome player.

    Belgium have some world class players now, they should be a big threat next World Cup!

    Definitely mate, every position they look covered.

    They should be great to watch too.

    Defo. I might have a few quid on them to win it!
    It's nice to see a lot of them playing in the Prem.

    I think Lambert will do very well with Villa even with a worse hand dealt than previous managers. They'll struggle to hold on to Bentekkers in the summer. Strikers like him are hard to find.

    Mignolet, Kompany, Van Buyten, Meireles, Fellaini, Hazard, Lukaku, Benteke, Defour, Witsel, Vertongen... not too shabby but i think their full-backs are a touch weak and I wouldn't be backing them to win anything. They should qualify and look good though.

    Benteke is looking immense at the moment, he'd be better off to stay where he is for a couple of seasons imo then move to a top team (if he carried on like he is)

    last season it was you guys getting all the good deals, think a lot of scouts have pinched your ideas this season

    Not to mention Dembele aswell. Belgium could be awesome if the manager gets them to gel

    I mentioned Benteke ages ago not just strong but a good footballer too.
    He isn't afraid of grafting either.
    He may just be what Man U are needing.

    I was thinking more along the lines of replacing Scholes mate.
    If you watch Bentenke most of his good work is done from the attacking MF.
    What I like about him though is he busts a gut to get into the box if the ball goes wide.

    Courtois will probably start in goal infront of Mignolet. Also they have Vermaelen, De Bruyne, Alderweireld, Vossen, Dembele...

    I forgot about Dembele, some class attacking players but a) no poacher (not a necessity but always handy in a squad) and b) weak full-backs. The spine of the team and the attacking flair is very impressive though.

    As for Newcastle, I'm interested to see what happens if/when we sell a couple of our current 'stars'. Can our scouts do it again?

    Vertonghen looks more than decent for Spurs at left back

    He definitely looks to be good at reading the game.
