Any word on Stephen O' Halloran of Aston Villa? Was he released? did he recover from his injury?

Just checked the Villa website and he's not listed in the first team or reserve team squads. I read somewhere he was going to America for surgery on his injured knee, but that was early last year.

James Collins(Welsh version) was given his squad number, 29, which isn't a good sign.

If it has happened that he has been released by Villa, then I hope he gets fixed up with a club soon as he looked to be a good prospect. I'd rather that scenario, then to hear of him retiring due to injury as he is only 22/23 years of age.

Billy Mehmet scored a hatrick for St Mirren in the Scottish Cup against Alloa this weekend.

I like the look of him as a player. Tall, strong, good in the air and generally a bit of a nuisance for defenders.

I doubt he will make any real progress now from the lower ranked teams in the SPL but good to see him bag a few anyhow.

**Acornvilla** · 11/01/2010, 11:15 AM

he always gets himself 15ish goals in a season a decent mid to lower table spl player

Small piece on yesterdays News of The World stating that he's back in training with Villa following an operation on his cruciate.

Brilliant news for the young lad. Brave decision to leave England after Man City but seems to be working out well for him.

He could have a new strike partner. According to their website, Aris just nipped in ahead of Hull City to sign the American Freddy Adu from Benfica!

Incredibly, he's still only 20.

Are you yapster in disguise?

**republicofwhite** · 11/01/2010, 7:15 PM

Very impressed with this move and how its working out, fair play to Ian and hope he becomes more of a trail blazer for others, Aris are 4th in the league, good form and the coach is Hector Cuper who I always thought was very good. The arrival of Freddy Adu will be good as well as there's another native English speaker for him, should make things even easier.

Haven't heard of this lad before. Is he Irish born or a part of the diaspora.
