Douglas Luiz - Confirmed confirmed

[darren woolley]

Welcome to Aston Villa Douglas Luiz and adding to the Brazilian theme as anybody out there had a Brazilian waxing yet.

[DrGonzo]

I'm super pumped now. He looks a true baller!!

[Clark W Griswold]

I think it's fucking brilliant, waited for a Brazilian to sign for 20 odd years or more, got close with Juninho and now 2 come along at once. They both look good ones as well. I fucking love Brazilians me.

I would like to see Brazilian flags down VP this season.

Christ the Redeemer statue unveiled outside the refurbished North Stand.

The half time entertainment should feature Capoeira performers scantily clad samba dancers.

Beer will be removed from the menu and replaced by Caipirinha.

It will be like watching Brazil 🇧🇷

Fixed.

I'm going to have PM you BV. I'm planning to be in Rio and Sao Paulo later this year.

[Risso]

What a window this is shaping up to be.  Absolutely nobody is guaranteed a start next season, which is how it should be.  As it stands, apart from Steer.

Exciting times ahead for us can't wait for the new season to start.

Just a quick question I'm going to the Charlton game on Saturday does anybody know if he will get his clearance to play or will it take longer for his permit to be stamped.

This is the one I wanted from the moment it was muted.  I think we have done some really good business so far but this boy looks special and even though City may have a buy back arrangement he might be just what we need to cement our place back in the Premier League.  Goals have been - and probably still are - my only other concern.  We look solid but need to hope that there are now more goals spread throughout the team. Butland would do it for me now but if we can get another striker I think we them just need to leave it to DS to put together.

Hopefully the work permit is granted? Surely the club have checked this through to be fairly certain - hopefully we don't have to wait 2/3 weeks for a decision like Wesley's application? ?

I’d imagine the club have been told the WP is approved and are waiting for the official paperwork.
They would not have announced him if they weren’t 100% sure.

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

I’d love hair like his. Actually I’d like hair...

I'm going to have PM you BV. I'm planning to be in Rio and Sao Paulo later this year.

No worries at all, anytime.

[SamTheMouse]

Another highly rated young Brazilian, in a key position too, and the whole squad is starting to look very tasty.

This summer is fucking ace.

I'd be very surprised if Trezeguet, Douglas or Nakamba will be involved Saturday to be honest chap.
Probably be ok for the Saturday after.

Interestingly he didn't answer the question "lastly just talk to us about the plan from here now in terms of when you link up with the squad properly?" in his interview on the OS with a specific date/or from immediate effect.
