Prediction:
Villa's 10 games will be against -
Melbourne Victory x 2 (home and away)
Sydney x 2 (home and away)
WSW x 2 (home and possibly away)
Brisbane x 2 (home and away)
The other two games to be Adelaide and CCM in Melbourne.
The Nix, Perth and Jets won't play Melbourne City during that time.
If the FFA really want to take the piss they might even squeeze a third Melbourne derby in and/or an extra home game against WSW.
Will last three games and then will get injured. But he will play gorgeous football.

Seriously think this could be close. Though Perth rather than CCM. We have no show... unless #YFspendup gets us a big name marquee.
Villa is hardly in his 'prime' anymore; but will still do well. (i'd prob still take him at Arsenal)
Was jealous until I realised it was only for a 10 game stint, which I still think are pointless.
They still have the Marquee spot open too.
Duff.
Reports on twitter saying he'll be squeezed in the cap
To the people who say VILLA is past his prime. Nonsense. If he was, he wouldn't be at the world cup.
This signing gives me a semi.
Excited to see him in the A League. This sort of signing, loan or not will only help raise the profile of the A League world wide and that can only be a good thing.
Just a shame we wont get to see him come up against Siggy!
Wow just Wow. Bet victory are nervous now.... imagine if they get lampard too..
Calling all fans in Japan, come down and support the mighty nix in Osaka

Hopefully Villa tells his mate Xavi to give this guest stint a try too.
Three for me, and two for them.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
I'm usually very cynical about the guest/marquee slots, but this really is massive for the league. Kits and logo look good, and along with this signing, it all gives MCFC a huge credibility boost at their launch.

Yes great to see this sort of quality in the A league.
Though rather not see him against an agricultural player like Siggy.
There is only two results.
Villa gets injured by a hack or Siggy gets buried.
Neither is a good look for WPFC or the A league
Very, very excited to see the great David Villa play. A massive signing.
2nd fave A league club - on the bandwagon! love the strip

And they pick up Lampard too!?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
Apparently, according to the Daily Mirror....altogether now "ten men couldn't carry, couldn't carry Lampard......ten men, nine men......and his fork lift truck, couldn't carry Lampard"
New supporters group set up. Called the melburnians.
Pretty average name if you ask me.

1847? What?
Year Ned Kelly put his head in a bucket.
Actually, year Melbourne was declared a City (by permission of Queen Victoria).
"At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive...
I'll take my chance because luck is on my side or something...
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand...
Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."
1847? What?
I would have gone for something relating to the 'Heart of the City' tag that has been floating around their fans myself.

This is a cooler logo than their team.
Transformation complete

Looks like Lampard will now be going to Manchester City on loan instead of coming to Melbourne.

Or he still want to play for England and thinks he has a better chance by staying there.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Still required Manchester City to want him.
Jeez. Koren out for six weeks with calf injury. It's all going a bit Melbourne Heart for Melbourne City #aleague

Marquee injury replacement?
