So the telegraph are reporting g that Smith will have some funds to spend in January but he will have to move on fringe players in order to comply with the stupid fair play rules.

It makes you wonder why they don't ask John Terry very nicely to put the shirt on. As a player coach he would only legitimately be receiving money for his coaching role in the eyes of fifa whether or not he gets some bonuses. We don't really need anyone other than a decent CB and let's face it, our best one from last year is now our 2nd in command!!

Come on villa, if this doesn't make sense then I bongos mum
