The white zero sugar monster pre gym session is the one 👌🏻

Well we've 'unveiled' Monster Energy Drinks as a club Partner today , that's about it.

Really becoming disillusioned with some of what is going on at the Club this Summer.

John Terry , ROK out and dodgy deals with a crypto currency and a Teeth Rotting , unhealthy Drinks Company?
Are we that desperate for Sponsorship we have to lower ourselves to Monster?  I thought we had a touch of class , the club that had Accorns on the front of our jersey.....terrible move and looks desperate and cheap

Tiger Woods is (was?) sponsored by Monster. Even won the Masters with a Monster bag. If it's good enough for the GOAT I certainly don't have a problem with it.

So, if I have this right, Villa are now sponsored by one of the great live bands of recent years

We're in the Premier League, one of the most rapacious entities on earth. We had no qualms about taking £100 million of oil money. Spare us the hand-wringing.

Is Sanson a CDM or has he played there? I don’t know what position he is challenging for when fit.

[john e]

Our problem isn’t just that we need a defensive midfielder to stop other players from playing
We need someone in that spot who can play out pass the ball get the ball from defence to other midfield playmakers from defence to the forwards

Luiz is the best option
He is a class player and will definitely get better and better
We’ve all seen him when on form be the best player in the team at times so we know he can do it

He’s good enough for Brazil I think he’s good enough for Villa

If we bring someone else in fair enough I’m not against that but I’m just saying that Luiz is a good enough player imo

[ozzjim]

Anyone else getting odd tweets on the avfc #?

[p_ad]

Is Dr Tony back😱

[N'ZMAV]

We’re desperate for a physical presence in centre mid.

Is it true Southampton put a 50m price tag on JWP?

I agree, I think he's class and will only get better with the right support and coaching from Dean Smith & the coaching staff.

[Clark W Griswold]

He's similar to Ward Prowse and similar to Sanson. With that in mind, even though i do rate Ward Prowe a lot i'm not seeing us pay £50m for him. I think he's this years Milot Rashica.
They must have some hope for Sanson after giving him the number 8 shirt, i'm quite happy to see Luiz in with McGinn and a big upgrade on Nakamba with Nakamba, Sanson, Ramsey and the youngsters as back up to those 3. As many have pointed out, a dominant centre mid would bring the best out of McGinn and Luiz and allow them to play a bit further forward. Luiz is no wimp but i'd love to see him further up linking with the forwards.

He is poor at tackling and does not provide Defensive Midfield cover.
We have had a problem in this area for 2 years and it needs resolving.
I think Luiz is a good player and will get better but he is not the answer.

Chelsea loaning out BashitCrazy for the 50th time, this time to Besiktas but extending his contract at the time; selling Tammy to Roma with a buy-back option; making money from other players that have had successful loan-spell (some chap at AC Milan) amongst probably 20+ other young/talented players officially on their books but likely plying their wares elsewhere this season....

Is the transfer/loan system really fit for purpose when the likes of Chelsea can just exploit it to within an inch of its life? Why not ban them from loaning players out as punishment for their ESL attempts rather than a shitty little fine? Punish the privileged who don't give a shit about the system they abuse.

Aren’t they just working the system to Their own advantage
I also thought our academy system was using there’s as a template

Yes pretty sure our owners are looking to emulate it. Look how many young players we are hoovering up and loaning out this season, I think we are using Chelsea as a model. Hoping to get the odd player through to the first team, whilst selling and earning loan fees from the ones that don't make it.
