Aston Villa are set to sign Glenn Whelan from Stoke City in the near future.
Aston Villa fans should be buoyed the the reaction of Stoke City supporters to Glenn Whelan’s departure.
And Stoke fans are widely of the opinion that Whelan will be a great signing for Villa.
Some Villa supporters have expressed dissatisfaction about Steve Bruce’s move for Whelan.
A section of the claret and blues support have suggested that Bruce should be on the look out for some younger players.
Bruce has generally looked towards experience so far this summer, with John Terry and Ahmed Elmohamady already added to his squad at Villa Park.
Villa are among the favourites to earn promotion this season, and may need experience heads to cope with the pressure that will inevitably be placed on them throughout the campaign.
Villa kick off their Championship season with a match against Hull City at the start of August.
