Has anyone else noticed that other clubs have positioned the Sky reporter to show off their ground or training facilities. Villa have put Mark Benstead in the middle of a featureless field. Will we ever get our PR right?

Ps: I blame Tommy Jordan, remember him?

It's the little things isn't it?! Get him next to a sign and look after him. We don't like the press do we.

Tommy Jordan? Go on VB explain.

He's our Head of Communications yet nobodies ever heard of him. He was employed on the recommendation of Paul Lambert, even though he had only previously been a sports journalist in Glasgow, and he started his Villa job on the same day that Paul Lambert was sacked.

Wasn't the previous Head of Comms some old mate of O'Neill's, too?

Baker's gone to Bristol City. Hopefully he'll get some good experience there.

RE Austin: I imagine that he's on a fair old wedge at QPR (considering their attitude to financial fair play) so maybe wage demands are playing a part in why nobody's signed him yet?

Ah ok, I was told Lambert appointed the media guy, didn't know his name though and that says a lot. Fortunately for the club Tim is a PR dream or else we'd struggle more than we already do PR wise.

Yep Doogan was appointed by MON. Useless too. How long before villa go down the Newcastle route and only allow certain papers to report on them? Still can't believe that approach given how much clubs are given by the TV companies.

Just seen a picture of him on AVFC Official, you can tell he's a keeper, his hands are massive shot stoppers.

Sherwood is tall. 6ft 2/3 so he's tall enough at 18

Very quiet on Andros townsend. wonder whether someone will take him. I would be very happy if we did.

Could end up somewhere on loan I guess. Not sure it will be us. I wouldn't mind him, but with Adama do we need him?

Any more rumours?

If we had CNZ of books i'd say yes would be good competition on right between those 2 with JG and SS on left. I like him and think under TS he will end up with us if he stays at spurs this window.
Apart from the normal Ade, Berba, gayle rumours with Iilori thrown in not heard anything else.

Any one else think this is a daft way to do multi million pound deals?

I don't understand why they leave it so late. De Gea deal should of been done along time ago and now because it was left till deadline it's gone pete tong. Crazy
