Inventive. I like it. You're all just cynical.

I'd be amazed if we go up purely off the back of signing him. Don't think he's going to add much in terms of playing ability, might hopefully be able to give a few of the lads the kick up the hole they need though.

He's still an absolutely despicable banana split mind

Hes not enough to get you up on his own. You finshed 13th last season, not exactly knocking on the door.

I don't think hes the sort of player who is going to survive a season in the Championship, just strikes me as a very QPR-style signing.

I hope Villa go down.

I hope Villa go down.

Cheers, you too.

Yep totally agree, was more replying to glowys optimistic opinion of we'll get rid once he gets us promoted haha.

Whilst I'm not particularly happy with the signing, it's nowhere near as bad as some of QPR's lunacy - they signed Samba for 100k a week before crazy TV money!!

[Corazon de Leon]

They gave that Russian club £12 million for him as well

[Moggy]

I wouldn't be shocked if Villa went up, but I have doubts Terry will do much.

He's also a massive twat, no jealousy here at all, he's just a scummy bastard and I'd be saying exactly the same if he was at my club.

He's on a 1 year deal mate, either way he is gone next season.

He is, however, we need some scummy bastards at villa, him and lansbury are our scummy bastards now.

Id rate that thought up there with they need for 'pashun' in a football side.

Ah well, at least it's not Joey Barton.

If Terry puts in some decent performances and instills some leadership and determination into other players, for a free transfer and a year's contract...I don't really mind. Sure he's a twat, but then most footballers are, so can't say I really care too much. Ultimately it's about what he does at the club - on match day, in training and in the dressing room - more than anything else. Let's see how it pans out.

[Parksey]

£60k a year is a £3.1 million outlay. That's not including bonuses and the like but it isn't much, especially for Villa who are probably the richest club in there and have spunked money on players like McCormack with negligible results.

He's unlikely to get them up by himself - Villa were 31 points behind second place Brighton last year, and his well past his best. You're going to have to supplement his signing with others in order to make up that deficit.

We got Woodgate back when we were in the championship and he was about five years younger than Terry's current age and while he was effective at that level, he didn't perform a miracle and drag us up by himself.

I don't think any Villa fan here believes we will gain promotion solely off of the performance of a centre half.

Hi Zell, meet Glowy.

Bartons a banana split on the pitch terry is a twat off it. But he is a born winner and will singlehandedly propel us back to the Premier League as CHAMPIONS. Ill enjoy my last season in this thread. CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND!!!!

[Zellery]

As a Villa fan, I try to keep a level head in here so people don't hate me or my club but Glowy just makes it so difficult to accomplish that.

Lansbury is a scummy bastard on the pitch but off it he's a good guy. Met him a few times before and after NFFC games and he was always courteous to me, my boys and many other fans. Even when he played for Villa against us, he came over and signed loads of autographs and had a decent 20 mins with the Forest fans.

Terry is a twat though obviously

In conclusion, if you approve of the John Terry signing you are a vile racist. Hey, I don't make the rules.

It doesn’t make you a racist if you continue to support Villa while Terry is there.

I wonder if the writer of that article ever drinks Fanta, drives a Volkswagen or has any clothes made by Hugo Boss?
