That confirms it. I saw Agbonlahor on Xbox Live playing as Newcastle FC the other night, guess he's off as well.

LOL

Expect an announcement regarding the new shirt and sponsor on Thursday!

[Colbert]

Just seen Big Sam say that Hitzlsperger has left the club as far as he's concerned, and the newspapers say he activated a release clause at the end of the season and is a free agent.

Why isn't he a Villa player already ffs?

[hogso]

I've heard that the sponser is 'Genting Group' a Malaysian company who own a bunch of casinos and stuff around the globe, and Genting Stanley (the UK branch) are building a Resort World attraction thing at the NEC



mmmmmmm.........

[hogso]

Here we go; official confirmation on the OS



I guess that's whats going to be on the shirt then

[Colbert]

Nonplussed

[hogso]

The boot ...

Shirt looks good though, I like it

[Joluk]

Haha, this is so weird, i worked for Genting in Malaysia for about 6 months last year. Can't believe they're our sponsor.

[Colbert]

I like it

Why does Gabby look perpetually confused?

Because he is. He isn't completely certain about why he's not still living and working in Erdington.

Obviously you must have namedropped Villa at some point to somebody important.

Why does GAbby always look like he's just had 10 of the finest disco biscuits?

Gurning aots.

I'm not gonna lie, that works really well (far better than betting or trading companies splattered across, anyway). Plus if they were our sponsors, free chocolate please.

I can't express how overjoyed I would be to see a chocolate brand on the shirt

Also, I'm sad about Ash, but I'll feel a little better if it means I bump into him in Manchester next year

[hogso]

I was hoping for Yum! Brands - the owners of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell...



I'm quite happy for webcam, he was a very frustrating player at times, but he's been the best player at the club for a good few years. Might feel a bit different when I actually see him playing in a Utd shirt, I like the analogy of seeing an ex-girlfriend with a richer and better looking chap - I imagine the feeling may be similar.

Home Kit is out 23rd July, safe to assume it'll carry the same check pattern, but with claret body and blue arms. The check pattern is supposed to be a homage to the mosaics on the Holte btw...

ahaha that really made me smile

[Colbert]

I think it'll be more amusing when he has to sit on the bench and wait his turn whilst Rooney, Hernandez, Valencia and (if he stays) Nani all sit ahead of him in the pecking order

Agbonlahor always looks like he's just witnessed a murder.

So what would you currently strongest XI be, assuming Downing and Dunne leave, and not taking into account who you buy this summmer, so just from the players you have atm?

Looking for fantasy bargains?

On paper I'd go for something along the lines of:

Guzan
Young Cuellar Collins Clark
Makoun Ireland Bannan
Albrighton Bent Gabby

But in real life Ireland and Bannan would probably be ousted for Petrov and Warnock (at left back, Clark moves to midfield).
