Well, he has scored there.

Silly old bat
Why would he drop a division? He's also skipper at Bournemouth.

Because he is not a premiership centre half.

Strange one. Don't think he's prem quality and maybe smug Ed has told him his chances will be restricted. Having said that, Villa are about 10 times bigger than B'Muff so would be a dream move in that respect.
I'd assume we have a 25% or so sell on clause so we may gain a few hundred k out of this...

Great move for him, they will pay him a small fortune.
Must have been told they are strengthening in his position
I think 3 million is a bargain

Wholehearted, lovely bloke, but I never had him down as Premier League quality. I fully expected him to be replaced once they reached the promised land. Would imagine Smug Eddie has already told him he'll be bringing in new players.
Plucky Little Bournemouth (c) will no doubt be seeking to spend a few of the coppers they've found at the bottom of their Save The Cherries collection tin on a shiny new centre half or two, as their defence was the reason they weren't comfortably mid table all season.
Villa might have been a complete shambles last year, but perhaps if they cut their losses and rebuild from scratch, they're a big enough club to make a decent fist of getting back to the PL.

There's a few too many prem teams likely to be looking for these for my liking.

Fulham? They've been desperate for a decent centre half for ages. One look at their Goals Against column reveals why.
Reported this morning on sky sports as Cardiff and Leeds. Neither would surely be prepared to pay £3m for him.

40k a week isn't a bargain though!

Moving to a bigger club on more money, also more likely to be playing Premier League football in the long-run than the team he is leaving who will likely go down this coming season.
