Yeah I would've got him on FM12, think he's signed for someone in this save though. Still should have a look as he was always quality.

Some story man Top notch stuff

Cheers man!

THE UNBEATEN RUN CONTINUES...

"It's an amazing achievement for Villa, 14 games is fantastic, but to beat teams like Arsenal and Sevilla on the way makes it even more special. They are definitely going places and have the manager to thank."
Alan Shearer on MOTD



Villa are drawn at home to Nottingham Forest in the Capital One Cup quarter final after knocking out a resilieny Leyton Orient on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

EUROPA LEAGUE

Villa qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League with two games to spare after three wins and a draw in their opening four ties.



Villa sit third in the Premiership with a game in hand over second place Manchester City, knowing a win in their next game away to Everton will see them leap frog the champions and to only two points behind leaders, Manchester United.

NEW COACHING ADDITIONS...

"We are very pleased to have brought in out first female member of staff in the form of Roma coach, Rosella Sensi."
Villa Chairman, Randy Lerner



"She ees, how you say, a lesbenem looking version of Pippa Middleton. However, I still would."
Eric Cantona on Rosella Sensi's arrival at Villa Park.

World Class Italian fitness coach, Claudio Gaudino also makes the move to Villa Park.

That is quite sensational form Jason! I wonder if you'll end up winning the league this season

dust out those cupboards....

Mmmm, nice Roma coach you have there

Haha thanks mate

CONTINUING TO CLIMB



"The players have been fantastic, to be sitting where we are is outstanding... And we're still in all three cup competitions!! We're not getting ahead of ourselves but we are hoping to bring in some back up in January, as the squad is quite thin. We would love to qualify for the Champions League and add more silverware, so I believe we do need some extra bodies, which is a view echoed by the squad."
Jason Connolly



Villa have been paired with Manchester United in the Capital One Cup semi finals and are drawn at home to Brighton in the F.A. Cup third round.



Alan Dzagoev is on the move in January after falling out of favour at Villa Park. He will join Bundesliga side, VfB Stuttgart for £8.5m when the transfer window opens.

Villa finish in the runners up spot in their group after a disappointing home draw with CSKA Sofia and a defeat to Sevilla in Spain.



Villa are drawn with Champions League drop outs BATE Borisov in the first knockout round.



"It's not the worst draw, there are clubs in there like Borussia Dortmund, A.C. Milan and Porto, who we're glad we avoided at this stage. Take nothing away from BATE, they're a good side but we're confident of advancing."
Villa vice captain, Ciaran Clark

Cheers mate!!

Bent is banging them in, he's top scorer in EPL with 11 and has 19 overall this season and it's only December. Benteke chips in with plenty, as do Gabby and N'Zogbia.
