Richard Dunne coming to Aston Villa as fee is agreed

Richard Dunne is coming to Aston Villa for a medical and to discuss personal terms but he isn't travelling down without knowing that his current club don't want him and that we are willing to pay for him and his salary, it just doesn't happen these days.

Now, if the Stephen Warnock thing comes off that will be two more players to our back four this week, something we were quite desperate for.

Now, I know some will think I am mad for suggesting this, but I thought Davies and Cueller did okay on Monday night and while I like Dunne and think him a commanding central defender and in the same breath that competition is good, I was really looking forward to see Cueller and Davies this season.

Still, I fancy Davies is playing in pain and there is nothing wrong with bringing in some quality and while he isn't Martin Laursen, Dunne is a very decent defender and despite my thoughts that it couldn't happen, mostly because Mark Hughes said yesterday that he wasn't going anywhere, it looks like he could be wearing claret and blue this weekend.

More as we get it. I just hope the server stands up to this news. If it doesn't, I apologise, we are fixing it right now.
