Use your vote wisely…

The scenario: You’re the manager of a Premier League team, and you’re allowed to strengthen your squad by signing just one player in the January transfer window. But you can only choose someone from Aston Villa’s squad - so who do you pick?

Your options: Captain Gareth Barry is obviously in the frame, and it’s hard to overlook the youthful promise of Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor. Or you might want a big bruiser like John Carew. At the back, Brad Friedel is a rock, while Martin Laursen is a class act at the heart of Villa’s back four.

So much choice, but there can be only one. The decision is yours. Vote below:

Yesterday, you selected Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal’s star-studded squad - he got almost 50% of the vote. No surprise there, but it was interesting to see that Carlos Vela came in second, above the likes of Robin van Persie, Gael Clichy and Theo Walcott. You lot clearly rate Vela very highly.
