Pre-Season Friendlies

[villa `cross the mersey]

I've just checked with my buddies in Holland - a PSV fan and a Feyenoord fan (who lives near Arnhem) - they have looked on the Vitesse website and apparently the Germans have literally moved the goalposts and will not permit two "foreign clubs to play a fixture on German soil
All a bit bizarre - so does that mean they will not be hosting any major championships or Euro finals in the future?
Whatever next? .....invading Poland (only joking).
Is this how Brexit will look over the coming months?

Villa arrive at the training camp near Dortmund

Hi Frank, are you over there at the minute?
i.e. did you take the photo?
Am I getting older or are Villa players getting younger? (John Terry aside)

Supposed to be  getting some shut eyes before catching my cab to the station for the 3.30am train to Ringway (manc airport)

Flying London City to Düsseldorf tomorrow and looking forward to meetings as enjoyable as those in Bremen. The photo was forwarded by one of the German Villans - Villa are training and staying at his sports club.
I don't think all the Villa players are getting younger if you consider this week's signings.

Gary Gardner hasn't travelled

If we're taking the squad down to 20 he's on the way out presumably

Okay Hun, keep safe x

[Matt Collins]

I see McKirdy has travelles whereas McCormack and Tish haven't

Which I think means none of the players we signed before last season started are now in SB plans? I make that over £20m wasted on Gollini, Elphick, Tish, McCormack. I reckon we'd do well to get anywhere near £10m back for that lot

[Clampy]

Not really surprised about Tshibola not travelling but I am with McCormack unless he's injured.

[Hookeysmith]

Have Elmo, Whelan , Samba travelled?

Can I have a quick reminder of game dates and times please .

Gate problems?

[eamonn]

Can someone post the full squad that has travelled? Can't find it on the OS. Be interesting to see who else has been left behind.

Stuck in his house.

I'm glad it isn't just me. I thought that was the Villa youth team until I spotted John Terry!

I thought the same. They look like 5th years going on a school trip.
