What they Said
"That is the worse we have played this season."
Brian Little
ASTON Villa's proposed ยฃ4.2 million transfer of Savo Milosevic to Perugia is expected to be completed next week.
The Serb international lost his place in the Villa side a week ago and manager Brian Little spent last night putting the final details to the move.
"The deal is in place and I expect it will be completed next week," revealed Little after his side's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.
The Villa manager refused to comment on the possibility of spending the cash on Liverpool striker Stan Collymore.
He said: "Anyone who knows me knows I never make a comment about any player who is in contract to another football club it is only right and proper.โ
Little was more forthcoming, however, on his team's disappointing performance, saying:
"That is the worse we have played this season."
