Emmanuel Adebayor has been described as such as Dimitor Berbatov. There's also hal Robson kanu world class showing in euros but I think we could be looking at miroslav klose or ronaldinho! Now those 2 are world class!

We have just signed a world-class striker the Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish said when they signed adepaymemore! So won't be the first to suggest such subjective outlandish comments

only it's a bit late in the day to just be 'preparing' a bid? He's been rumoured to be on our shopping list for weeks so I hope talks are  well advanced - the clock is ticking!

Good to see Tony Xia recognising his and Villa's civic responsibilities (being by far the greatest team the world has ever seen and all that) and meeting the leader of the council... Don't suppose Randy ever sought a meeting with Albert Bore but p'raps I'm being unfair. Maybe he did in those early days.

There is something rather bitter/sweet about the tag 'Championship Giants'.

A bit like taking the best looking girl home from the club then finding out she has a full set of male genitalia?

I'd treat it like a helicopter parachute payment.

Freudian slip there for fans of Man Down.

His tweets are currently just showing how much utter utter shit is written as speculation. He's very refreshing and I hope he remains this involved and interested in the long term.

He's behaving like a true supporter rather than the typical owner, good on him.

It will not be long before other more far sighted owners, probably new ones, start to copy him.  I wish I could recall which poster on here nailed it very early that he has moved club ownership into the 21st century.  Very appropriate that it should be for a club still in the 19th.

By being prepared as TV insightfully said, not to give a hoot about being bitten he has at stroke body swerved the media and agents who spawn managers like Sherwood.  Like Adama Traore going round a full back. 

A Billy big bollocks player like Gabby might treat a weak, insecure, unsupported manager like Remi Garde like shit, but they won't treat a 42 year old Chinese billionaire with anything but respect.   Especially when he has his phone in his hand.
