Villan Baros

It's now a done deal; Milan Baros is signed to Aston Villa. It'll be interesting to see him partnered with Juan Pablo Angel. Because, I mean, how can you tell them apart? Maybe they can switch shirts at halftime, just to confuse the ref. Seriously, I like the partnership. Villa has long suffered from inconsistency and underachievement; perhaps this move will make a difference for them.

Villa had an interesting sequence in today's game against Portsmouth. After 10 minutes, Richard Hughes elbowed Noberto Solano, picking up a yellow. However, Solano's retaliatory swing earned him a red, reducing Villa to 10 men. But wait! On the ensuing free kick, Gareth Barry put the ball into the box, and it was headed home — of course — by none other than Richard Hughes. One might say that justice was served. Pompey ended up with a point, after a strike by Lomana LuaLua.

Villa have Blackburn on Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing double in the Villa strikeforce.

Comments:
I'm actually very excited to see how the partnership between Baros and Angel develops. I think there's a lot of potential there for these two players to mutually benefit one another if they can quickly develop an understanding on the pitch. Europe beckons if they can collaborate successfully
