Please can we wear this on our shirts when we play Chelsea if they put their silly preseason tournament one on their shirts? #AVFC

Blimey, mystic David

#AVFC's summer has been tough with financial limits, esp with the forward market inflating. So Evann Guessand felt a fair deal. He has technical improvements to make, but his natural stylings are obvious eg; his carry progression (shaded orange).

This I think is what I was expecting. We'll see. Guessand definitely needs the minutes by the looks of yesterday

Against Villarreal, I assume this afternoon. Apparently doing a tour of all of the clubs to apologise for abusers of women in Europe 🤢

Do we have any idea of the plan for today's friendly? Is the ideal the same two XIs as yesterday or is it an academy job? #AVFC

Oh Jess, very sorry to see this. You boy looked like a lovely sweetheart. Thoughts are with you

Pretty sure football finance (like the NFL cap) can be whatever you want it to be. Just need to know the right buttons to push

Is this a strategy to get the amortised down by spreading out the values over the contracts? #AVFC

Would've been interesting to see him getting some friendly minutes too get a gauge how far off he is

Did this, and jeez how few of our big signings have come off... #AVFC

Love this from Winter

#AVFC

Even that fee (which they'd never pay for a player his age etc) I don't think is enough to make up for what we'd lose by him leaving. He's such a huge personality in the squad he's effectively irreplaceable

Cardiff entry in 442 season preview. The fan interviewed says the one change he'd make would be "to raze the club to the ground".

I'm reading @fourfourtwo.com's season preview and the Cardiff entry really takes a turn at the end.

Insi? Is a very small spider our new coach?

This makes me like it more

Don't like this! #AVFC

Buendia szn inbound 👀 #AVFC

Happy Digne is staying. Him and Maatsen are an excellent pair of left backs - and if the rumours that he's taken a pay cut are true this is even better #AVFC

Happens a lot in the NFL for the opposite effect. Clubs who think "hey, he could do a job for us" would then jump to sign him on a free (and mean we don't have to pay him off)

If the £30m fee is true then we still haven't moved in this table 😅 #AVFC

Awful! Good to see you're all ok though

Ok, interesting. I've really no idea about him

In all seriousness, two comments:
1) attacking players from Ligue Un generally struggle in the Premier League, so don't like this for that reason
2) apparently this guy plays off the right so are we just given up on Malen who we spent like £30m on six months ago??
#AVFC

Both a pun and a legitimate comment

I'm Guessand someone must be off if we've got an incoming? #AVFC

Also echoes a lot of my feelings about transfer marketism in general, that there are so many fans out there who seem to think that the transfer market is the point of the whole thing, rather than, like, the actual football #AVFC

Superb

"Villa need to increase their income first and foremost but strangling them on the pitch is the best way to prevent that happening"
