For a moment I thought that was Eden Hazard.

Next summers picture Mr Shellac. He'll doing keep ups next to James Rodriguez, Lavezzi and Ibrahimovic on the lush Bodymoor surface.

The OS tweeted this photo of training. Interesting to see Bent being allowed to train with the grown ups again.

Is that BombSquad II in the distance ?

Hang on where's Concrete Ron? Pretty bad form to turn up late for training first day. Keane won't like that.

Still in Brazil you say.  These footballers dont know they are born do they?

[cheltenhamlion]

Have they been instructed not to shave over the summer, the scruffy gits?

[silhillvilla]

Wow a pair of black football boots ! Well done Joe Cole.

[ozzjim]

Is that why he has ended up on his own? Black boots - on your own son.

Are we going to get another first team coach in as we're still one down in that regard?

This would look rather different if they were all secretly passing scimitars to each other.

Headline: Villa players in manboobs shock!

Story: Villa players were today forced to wear brassieres in training by hardman Roy 'get your tits out for the lads' Keane. Following a summer of idleness brought upon by the absence of world cup players, it would appear that most of the members of Villa's first team squad have put so much weight on that many are showing signs of having developed manboobs. There is now a scramble by Villa's kit supplier, Marcron, to redesign the 2014-15 Villa shirts to incorporate a 'hidden' bra element.
A Macron spokesperson was quoted today as saying: "This is problematic for us. Had it been Bristol City, we would have had more visibility of this issue; now, it's back to the drawing board. Waay-hey."
