Contrary to the usual Twitter noise about Buendia’s signing meaning Jack’s off I think it actually further reinforces him staying. Buendia has signed to play with Grealish not instead of him.

Comes across very well. Good level of English. I thought from the Athletic article and some of the clips that he was a bit of a gobby imp (maybe it's the slight resemblance to Maupay) but smiley chap, seems humble and hard-working. Good looking chap too...maybe in yellow he just looks fierce and ugly.

He didn't name-check any of our players but I'm sure Matt Targett is big in Buenos Aires.

We took to calling Targett "Maldini" last season. So he's definitely big in Milan.

That's my take, too. You'd imagine they are using Grealish specifically to sell the club to potential signings.

And the sell gets easier with three England internationals, a Brazilian international, an Argentinian (may be 2) international, a Scottish international, Egypt international etc.  The kids have just won the FA Cup, Villa are secure in the Premier League and have two of the most ambitious and richest owners.  Looking very much on the up for Aston Villa.

Cheers, nice message so started following him.

Wearing some of the mint green clobber that Adidas just released although I'd have gone for the navy shorts with mint green stripes. :)

As long as we don't play him out of position I'm convinced he'll be a legend.

Hope so.  This is the most excited I've been about a signing for a long time - it just feels like a great fit to me.

What’s his best position?  from what I have read attacking right, but cuts inside.

I’d say that’s it, on the right hand side. A massive upgrade on Trez, although I do like Trez!

Going to be a top player. An Argentinian international.
