Better late than pregnant.

Twitter quoting a frog radio station. Must be true then

It was a Frog radio station that broke the news of the Sylla signing.

I guess there will be a massive press conference with Aleksandar Tonev & Younni Belhanda (and possible other signings) showing off new Macron's Aston Villa shirt and new sponsor next week.

Summer is never truly here until we start linking ig signing x with the kit launch. All good fun.

How many replica shirts do you reckon we sell? 25k? I bet it is not even enough to cover 1 players wages through the season from the first team squad.

[Mazrim]

A lot more than 25k. Probably ten times that.

[Matt Collins]

So is Tonev definitely, definitely signing today then (again)  . . . ?

[damon loves JT]

Depends. What time is happy hour in lanzarote?

[fbriai]

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of his life.

On the Daily Mails web story on Baker, at the bottom of the paragraph it mentions that we have signed Torquay's 16 year old striker Liam Prynn.

Anyone know about Jores Okore from Nordsjaelland? Apparenty we have had a £3m bid rejected.

With regard to shirt-sales, I’m sure I remember reading that we don’t make very much at all from this, in-fact only really the ones that are sold through the Club shop/s. Our revenue is paid directly from the Kit Manufacturer and the Sponsor. Actual sales go directly to the retailers who purchase the product from the Manufacturers. I stand to be corrected on this though.

[Mazrim]

No, you're correct.

[Irish villain]

Didn't kit sales break records last year? Amazing really how much of a feel-good factor was generated by getting rid of TSM.

[ozzjim]

A lot more than 25k. Probably ten times that.

I would be amazed if home and away we broke 70-80k.
