Emi Buendia

Disastrous. Just as we sell AJ to Burnley as well.

What a shit for Emi who was looking great pre-seaon. Fuck. Absolute fuck.

[jwarry]

Awful news for EMI but a little bit of me is saying this could be good for us, particularly if we get a better and stronger quality replacement in - Zaniolo possibly.  Even so it’s a real shame

[olaftab]

Oh FFS sake, why is always us??

[Dogtanian]

I'm really, really angry.

[Beard82]

FFS!!!

First rule of villa twitter rumours.

If it is a good rumour, it normally bollocks.

If it is a bad rumour, it’s normally true.

Taps the sign.

[OzVilla]

Feck, he looked our best player in pre-season.

[Beard82]

This is a huge blow - looked good in pre-season.

Still had questions to answer, but leaves really short of creativity

[Taylor]

Does anyone know when Jacob R is back?

[Brazilian Villain]

Bollocks, gutted for him.

[AV84]

Does anyone know when Jacob R is back?

I think mid September was the time frame initially given. Haven't seen anything to suggest he's ahead or behing schedule.

[Brend'Watkins]

It was all going too well. There’s always something that puts a spanner in the works. A significant knee injury means we don’t see him play this season.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s definitely done for the vast majority of the season. We might see him right at the end of all goes well.

[chrisw1]

The wording 'significant' is pretty grim.  Hope it's not Wesley levels.

[Brazilian Villain]

A Villa player getting an injury early in the season is one thing, but doing an ACL in training 3 days before the season even starts is another level. FFS!
