Having riot police in preseason speaks volumes

Who's idea was it to book this friendly?!

These scenes are not surprising at all.

Digne's legs have gone 👍

🧵A thread on why #AVFC wanted Evann Guessand:

The 24yo chimes with the profile of versatile attacker Emery loves. Across 120 Ligue 1 games, he played as a central CF 56% of the time, but also has a body of work operating on either flank. These were his positions last season:

#avfc said it before on here and @danrolinson.bsky.social highlighted it on C&B earlier but EG is 6’2. With Onana, Mings, Pau, Konsa, Rogers, Ramsey, Kamara we really are becoming a big, physical side. Definitely part of Emery’s plan from day 1

Guessand covers this role quite nicely, plenty of mins as the central & inside forward as well a box crashing AM.
Srewd squad cost in this market for a tall 21 g+a (0.5 xG+xGA per 90) forward when clubs pay €80m+ for a 22 g+a (from 0.4/90) guy because he is 2 inches & 2 years younger.

Villa advancing in talks to sign Nice forward Guessand

#AVFC are working on a deal to sign Evann Guessand from Nice. Villa face competition from other clubs and no agreement yet, but Villa are advancing in talks. 24yo long-standing target and fits profile of forward wanted. Story @theathleticfc.bsky.social

So finally finished my big AVFC 24/25 thread (having a toddler & newborn is hard man).
Our transfer activity is going to be quite limited, so I'll focus on why we had a down year & how we might improve with the same players; specifically turning tools into production in our new 22-25 year old core.

Only ten players have 100+ goal involvements in Europe's top five leagues in the past five seasons 👀
