Here’s a player Aston Villa should take a long look at bringing in. M’Vila plies his trades with Rubin Kazan in Russia. He’s been largely frozen out by the club for unknown reasons.

M’Vila, still only 26, has twenty-two appearances for France in his career. He made thirty-seven relegation-saving appearances for Sunderland last season, and, despite the fan’s wishes, he was not sought after by new manager David Moyes.

Most importantly for Villa, M’Vila plays a hard-tackling central midfield–a position of scarcity for the club.
