Baros completes Villa switch
Milan Baros has today passed a medical and signed a four year deal with Aston Villa. The deal between Aston Villa and Liverpool is thought to be around £6.5million. The Czech Republic striker has already indicated that he is relishing the prospect of playing for Villa, whilst David O'Leary will be delighted to have signed such a high profile marksman. O'Leary had asked for patience after the sale of Darius Vassell to Manchester City this summer, and has now brought in a big name in world football. Baros has never quite replicated his international form at club level in England, but will be keen to show that topping the goalscorer charts at Euro 2004 was no fluke. Baros could make his debut against Blackburn at Villa Park on Saturday.
I beleive Baros is a good striker and will do very well for Villa but I think £6.5million is a bit to much in this day and age. I think the move is good for Baros because he will probably be guarenteed first team football at Villa and at Liverpool he was fourth choice striker behind Cisse, Morientes and Crouch. I believe Baros and Kevin Phillips up front for Villa could be one of the best striking parternership's in the Premiership.
