From Sky Sports
Aston Villa have completed the signing of Stilian Petrov from Celtic.
The Bulgarian international has signed a four-year deal at Villa Park and becomes the first signing for Martin O'Neill.
Villa have paid £6.5 million for Petrov which could rise to £8 million.
Petrov has been seeking a move away from Celtic all summer after he handed in a transfer request at the end of last season.
O'Neill was keen to be reunited with the goalscoring midfielder after enjoying five successful years together in Glasgow and he has finally got his man.
Petrov's departure could pave the way for Celtic to bring in Thomas Gravesen with the Dane set to make a decision on his future later on Wednesday.

no surprises there - it was always on the cards that O'Neill would raid all of the decent players celtic had that would cut it in the premiership.
and he managed to get them all before the transfer deadline as well!!

Good signing for Villa. If you sign agathe Saviola and Defoe Also you will be in good shape.

Reasonable deal all-round.
Celtic get some good money in, Petrov gets a move to the EPL, and Villa get a potential match winner.

Disagree mate, Petrov was one of the only match winners Celtic had....the guy was a legend! So, now that he has left Celtic - he isn't a LEGEND? |

i think he has some engine, gets forward well and scores important golas. he also has a good grafting workrate and can only really improve...i will be genuinly interested to see how he does.
not quite a legend for me dave but still a great player for us

 not a celtic hater either - heck the only way we can qualify for europe is through the fairplay league and after 2 red cards in first 3 games thats a non-starter either. but then being a charlton fan you have to look on the funny side for everything otherwise i'd have thrown myself off a bridge well before now!!  |
