Confirmed: Habib Beye signs for Aston Villa

There are reports, not sure how true they are, but they are suggesting we've agreed a fee with Newcastle for defender Habib Beye of £3mn and well, it's not much money for a defender with Premier League experience.

He is 31 years old and a right back, so this you would think is cover for Luke Young, but then you've got to be a little annoyed that Eric Lichaj isn't going to get his chance, but I suppose Martin O'Neill knows best.

You also have to factor in that this is just on the radio and a few websites, so there might not be any truth in it whatsoever. We will update here through the night with any links or news we get on the story.

Done Deal

Okay, it is confirmed by the club. Welcome I suppose, now what about our man Eric Lichaj?
