Racist Dracula is possibly the best nickname I have ever heard.

Yeah but they were able to ignore Suarez's one for some reason. Or was that Torres?

I've never understood why people are confused by this. Arsenal triggered the clause but Liverpool knew he wasn't bothered about going so they offered him a new deal instead and then 'rejected' the bid. This is perfectly reasonable because the clause is between the club and player, if the player doesn't hold them to it then they don't have to accept the bid.

So if Suarez had said he was off, they wouldn't have been able to stop him? The way it was reported in the press always came across that Liverpool had rejected the bid out of hand and Racist Dracula had no choice.

If he'd wanted to leave he would've (although apparently the clause was pretty badly written and meant it would've been very hard to enforce) but it might have got pretty messy.

It's a barnstomer. Great working title for a song too (too expressive to make it as the final name).

Does anybody know if either of the owners are flying in for the Grealish meeting on Monday morning?

[Brazilian Villain]

Think Sawiris lives in London anyway.

Can you just fly into the UK on a whim at the moment?

private jet from the US no problem.

[caster troy]

Wes Edens needs to fly in too, and bring his daughter for the talks. Not sure Jack could say no to her!

[Border villan]

When we sold Andy Gray many Villa fans thought it was the end of the world, turned out quite well in the end.
If Jack stays or goes our owners will have plans in place to return us to our rightful place at the pinnacle of English football.
Come on people look at the progress so far.

There's at least one villa fan who can't see where you're coming from. Unfortunately he's the one that matters
