Ok, I know were probably one or two signings away from being able to do this poll completely, but for now, which of our four big signings do you think will become the biggest fan favorite? This isn't just the players technical ability, but personality, playing style, and all the other factors that make fans love them. From fans ultimate favourite for lavish skill Ginola, to the hardgraft of Keane, which of our new batch will be more adored?

Note* its meant to say signing but I'm and idiot and can't spell

WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT THEIR KAREOKE TALENT!

Agree with doubleO cheaper than all the others but hasa certain spark about him when he has the ball,
Gomes could be a suprise though as he looks pretty good.

Gio by a mile! Although I like Gomes too--we haven't seen enough of Luka's personality yet...

Think it could be Gomes.

First fo all GKs get a bump because they are always down one end for a half (Gomes, whats the score...) and he is likely to have a bit more direct interaction with the fans, when he makes a save he has the fans right behind him.

Then there is the guy himself. Always smiling (like Gio) he has that warm up that gets the fans going. Plus, did anyone see him when everyone was picking up their medals on sunday. He looked generally chuffed to pick it up. While I think the others will be crowd favourites for various reasons, I think Heurelho will be the biggest favourite.

It depends how they play and who else signs this window.

However, it could be a bit odd if we signed Villa and he turns out to be a favourite. Would we really shout 'Villa' when playing a certain team from Birmingham?

I think Bentley will be sensational for us.

I do love the way Gio is always smiling though.

Im a bit too young to remember Ricky(remember Ossie though) so wouldnt be the first Villa to play at the Lane..

Gone for Gomes you can see why he was so popular at PSV.

Ricky pronounced his Villa as 'Vee-ya' - but I think David pronounces his like Astons.

Not a fan of the "Luka Luka Luka Luka" chant!

Gio will be the fans favourite I think although Gomez is quality, when I went to the training he made the effort half way through to put his thumb up and say hello to me! Good bloke!
