Busy Day for Transfers at Villa Park! 
Nihat and Matias Fernandez have both completed there signings to Aston Villa after being granted a work permit. The combined deal is though to be in the region of £15 million plus another 6 million after 18 months.
Luke Moore has joined Wigan on a year long loan deal. McMahon said this is a great way for him to develop into the great player he can. Villa midfield duo Craig Gardner and Isaiah Osbourne are reportedly on there way out of Villa Park for a combined deal on around £6 million. They had a fall out with James McMahon after he brought in Matias Fernandez, who is putting their first team spot in threat. With McMahon already a keen admirer of Fernandez, it is almost certain he will win a first team place by the end of pre-season. McMahon is also said to be a keen admirer of Petrov, following his spell at Celtic, and with McMahon playing his prefered 4-4-2, there isn't room in the midfield for all the players. Wilfred Bouma could be on his way out too.
McMahon has withdrawn his bid for Ezequiel Garay, in a vain bid to bring at least 2 new left backs to the club. Wilfred Bouma is in negotiations with Racing, and McMahon needs at least 2 new left backs. McMahon has announced he has a list of names he will be enquiring about. We believe these names are:
John Arne Riise
Asier del Horno
Armand Traore
Nicky Shorey
George McCartney and
Joloen Lescott
