Whelan has attracted interest from Aston Villa & Derby since Stoke's signing of Darren Fletcher. His current chief executive has been full of praise - http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/glenn...ail/story.html

No quotes from the player, Burnley or Stoke management, or any agents. The justification is that Burnley have money to spend after selling Keane to Everton, and need a replacement for Barton.
A Burnley-Preston combined Irish 11 would be awful competitive if this came off. They'd only be a short a keeper!
Whelan signed for Aston Villa on a two-year deal today. Probably a good move for him - they will be pushing for promotion and he should start regularly. However, it's a pity to see one less Irish player in the Premier League.
Also a pity to see Villa over-stocked with centre midfielders: Bjarnason and Lansbury were signed in January and Jedinak and Gardner are there two. If they play 3 in midfield what are the chances two will be Whelan and Hourihane and the other will be from those 4? I know Jedinak has played a bit at centre half and Gardner isn't a world-beater but if they got with 2 in midfield then Hourihane's development could be stunted.
Over-stocked but a lot of doss. Bjarnason is playing wide more than central, and he's been a bit rubbish. Gardner hasn't played well either.
Could see Whelan and Jedinak playing together when Bruce wants to keep it tight, one or the other if he wants a more attacking shape. I would like Hourihane to play further forward and there's certainly an open spot for a creative, more attacking midfielder. It's probably a scrap with Lansbury on that front.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
If he can't get ahead of at least two of those guys then he's better off elsewhere.
Villa currently top the table, in a alphabetical order, will they remain top all season?
I say YES!!
(wonder what the odds are )
I think they are a smart bet, they weren't a million miles away last run from a play off spot and have experience in key positions with Whelan and Terry added by a manager with previous in that division. What are the odds tricky do you know ?
They were 18 points adrift - that's a long way off the play-offs
Its six wins in a forty-six game league, so not really. Its a dodgy month or six weeks from being in the mix, which is exactly what they had early in they year after bringing players in in January. I feel Villa in that league having added the two they have and are a bit more tidy in their work can comfortably be six to ten wins better, comfortably you hear ?
Now shouldn't you be working on some obscure formula whereby the sun finally shines on the UCD ass somehow ?
Sure they were nearer relegation the whole season, and ended up just 11 points off the drop. They were never I the play-off places all season, or even remotely challenging. They've been a basket case club for years now.
They may challenge next season, but it's daft to reckon they'll challenge based on adding two veterans to a crap squad.
Villa are the betting odds favourites for promotion and most probably that's not based upon them adding two older players to their squad.
I'm a Villa supporter for a long time and they being crap since the day MON left the club! ... and he was right to leave cause Lerner, the American owner was a fool! ... The at the bottom now looking up cause of the Chinese owner ****ing in tonnes of money but at last a proper manager to spend it! ... Think they get up this year but wont win it ...actually will get up through the play offs! ... Still need a top class striker!
