Stewart Downing revealed his mind was made up on a move to Villa as soon as he met Martin O'Neill.Downing says the ambition of the manager was a massive pull as he completed a switch from Middlesbrough this afternoon.He told AVTV: "I am really pleased to be joining Villa. It's a massive football club with good ambition."It's certainly been a summer of speculation for me but I have tried to switch off and get a good break after my injury."Saying that, when it became apparent that Villa were interested I was very excited. I wanted to come as soon as I met Martin O'Neill so I am delighted it's now sorted out."As soon as I spoke to the manager at the training ground, I wanted to play for Villa and I wanted to play for him. He has great ambition and wants to build a good squad to take the club forward. I want to be part of that."As an outsider looking in, it was obvious that Villa were a club on the up. You can see a chairman and manager who want to build great things. They have done that over the past few seasons, particularly by finishing sixth last time around, which was great."But once you get here and see the stadium, the training ground, the people behind the scenes and the manager with his ambition and hopes for the future, it's even better than you realised."Downing also revealed his delight at stepping out at Villa Park in the coming years as a claret and blue troop.He added: "I have fond memories of playing at Villa Park with Middlesbrough because we managed a few good results there. But I always enjoy playing there anyway."The atmosphere is always brilliant and Villa always put out a great team so it's always a test. I looked forward to going there and testing myself - it's fantastic that I'll now be playing for the home side."

if you want someone that can put a good ball in the box then yeah Downing fits the bill, he won't beat a defender or win a match on his own accorde like Joe Cole, Nasri, Rooney etc

there alot of hype on spurs blogs bout ashley young under going a medical at spurs today....some how doubt it tho....
Spurs ITK's could have atleast checked our OS in the last two hours before posting that.
Martin O'Neill has issued a firm 'hands-off' warning to any clubs hoping to sign Ashley Young.The Villa boss insists any offer for the wing wizard will be given short shrift by the club.He told AVTV: "There have been a lot of stories about Ashley - and that's what they are - stories."The last time I spoke to Ashley and his agent none of this was at the forefront."I read every single day these articles about different clubs coming in for him, with swap deals mentioned. It's just pure conjecture."No-one has come in and asked us about Ashley Young and I have got to tell you, if they did they would get short shrift."I believe he can reach for the stars here. This football club has been fantastic for him because we have given him this platform to display his skills, excite the crowd and play the sort of football that he is doing."I suppose it's flattering that he's being linked because it shows how far he has come at this club. Saying that, I do get bored with all the stories in reality."
Atleast we can put that one to bed now.(It's JJ btw using my mates account, I lost my password)

MON was never going to sell A.Young this summer, he has too much power at the club. We saw what he did with Barry last summer, he can do the same with Ashley for as long as he wants.
