34-year old Dean Marney has recently left Burnley and is currently training with crisis-club Aston Villa, much to the ire of some fans.

He made 202 appearances for the Clarets but has fallen down the pecking order after a serious injury. He left Turf Moor in May and is now training with Steve Bruce's side.

Villa just missed out on a Premier League return, but in doing so opened themselves up to a financial crisis that shows little signs of reaching a resolution. Steve Bruce admitted his transfer policy would be based around having to 'beg, steal and borrow' this summer.

Still, news that the veteran midfielder is training with the club has brought some fans to Twitter to express their displeasure at the current situation. Some see the news as an indication of how low the club has sunk, whilst others can see the advantage of having 3experienced top-flight players such as Marney around the club.

Here's a selection of their best reponses from the social media site.
