Aston Villa defender Martin Laursen admits he loves life at Villa Park.

"I played every game last season and I would pay a lot of money to do the same again this season. That was my big aim a year ago and it is still my big aim this time," Laursen told Villa's official website.

"I spent too long injured here and I just want to play football. I want to play games and I am doing everything that I can to stay fit and play as many games as possible."
