I hope Luna is on the Verge of a move somewhere, bit harsh to be left out completely

So Bomb Squad MK II is born - Tonev Luna Carruthers

Alternatively they're players we think would benefit from a loan and we're in discussions with clubs regarding all of them so staying back makes sense. I'd certainly expect that for Carruthers at least.

The manager is hardly bombing out two players he just gave new deals to.

Are you counting Robinson as well there?  I've just assumed that he thinks Robinson will benefit more from a little while longer with the kids, he's young enough to take our time with him for now, I'd like to see him either rip the reserve league open or do the same on loan with someone. He had flashes of that last year, another season developing the same and we'll have a guy who can't be ignored any more.

I am. I think you're right, and I believe the same applies to Carruthers. They both need a bit of time with a League One or Championship side. It clearly helped Grealish

Villa's matches appear to be the only ones not being shown on TV in the USA - every other pre-season US EPL side tour match is on live (and with multiple repeats).

I'm glad all the talk of Ian Taylor not going has died down. It was getting to the point where it was like John Lennon not going with the rest of The Beatles in the sixties.

watch it on AVTV. I signed up for a month just to watch them. I might extend it if it's worth it.

I don't think the USA games are on AVTV. Just audio and highlights after? (Hopefully I am wrong).

The OS  lists the following to be shown live, so you are right.


    Chesterfield (away) Wed 30th July, 7.45pm
    Walsall (away) Tue 5th August, 19.45pm
    Parma (home) Sat 9th August, 3.00pm

that's too bad. Especially as they have shown previous tour games live this trip should be no exception. And why is the resolution on AVTV when watching games/highlights utterly garbage? Is something a little HD too much too ask?

Houston dynamos will be showing the game live on their website, so we will at least get to see one.

You lot do know that the Houston game doesn't kick off until 2am UK time, don't you ?


Has Jack gone over with the squad ? If so, we need a sweepstake on how long into the game it takes for him to say "Houston, we have a problem"

Rumours of a Serie A club taking him on loan, Chievo Verona I think.
I'd imagine we're also working on loan deals for Tonev and possibly Robinson as well, unless Callum picked up an injury. I would have thought he'd be very much in Lambo's plans.
