It all seems like Pie in the Sky for Aston Villa's James Collins
THERE was an amusing case of mistaken identity during Villa's transfer deadline-day dealings.
A satellite channel, which shall remain nameless, got slightly muddled by the arrival of James Collins, amidst all their excitement about the window closing (blimey, anyone would think it's Armageddon they're counting down to, not the end of football's wheeling and dealing for a few months).
Anyway, the Wales defender was still crossing the t's and dotting the i's on his contract when the TV station reported that he was due to line up for Villa's reserves that very night.
Considering at that stage he was still officially a West Ham player and Villa were playing the Hammers, surely there was some mistake.
There was. It was correct in so much as there was a James Collins listed in the second-string squad for the match.
But it was Villa's youth team striker James Collins and not his ginger central defender £5 million namesake!
