Antonio Manuel Luna Rodríguez

[pauliewalnuts]

There's massive Tony Moon love in going on here!!

To add some balance, just think how old he makes you feel when you realise he wasn't even born when Platty (aka Moonface coincidentally) scored his goal against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup and yet here he is scoring a goal on his Villa debut to make it 3-1 in Arsenal's back yard!!!

In my mind, anyone who's too young to have been around for Italia 90 can't possibly be old enough to play professional football (or do any other job for that matter).  It makes me feel VERY old!

Does anyone else think he's the least 22 year old looking 22 year old they've ever seen?

Yes!  I was astounded when someone on here wrote that all our summer signings were under 23 (I think).

Normally when you shave your beard off, it makes you look younger.

It didn't really happen for Antonio.

Some of the players pre-season were engaging in a bit of banter about this - Gabby or Delph I think saying they thought he was 42 not 22!

There was an article on the OS where Delph was going on about Luna having an "old man's saggy ball bag".

A face like someone had drawn a picture of Gordon Brown on a scrotum, wasn't it?

I think it was Nicklas Helenius who chipped in with that line.

The boy has picked up English phenomenally quickly.

And well done to him.

His ability to recite passages from episodes of Brasseye and Blackadder raised eyebrows as well I believe.

His AVTV interview on joining was ace.

That bit at the end: "There's just one bit of your interview I'd like to change, Jack" "What's that?" "The words".

Can Luna qualify as being our first Nigerian born signing?

What impressed me most was the bit where they chucked him an old rubiks cube and he solved it in under 10 seconds, a couple of seconds off world record pace but still hats off to Moony, I can only manage two sides on a good day.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Very likeable. And has been impressive. Go mooney .......

[Olneythelonely]

The least 22 year old looking 22 year old goes to Robben when he was 22.

[oldtimernow]

Will fans of Antonio be known as Moonies?

[Gregorys Boy]

A promising start to his Villa career. 

Think as a wing back style player he gives us extra options a bit of much needed width when going forward so is already a plus there.  Would be good if he can deliver a good cross and be a good tackler too.
