They speak about Tielemans in much the same way many of us, myself included, spoke about McGinn. And after the Unai treatment McGinn came back lean and mean, stuck humble pie in our faces and led us to Europe. I expect the fat bloke that downed tools they all speak off will look very lean and sharp in a Villa kit next season.

Blimey, that Foxes Talk place is full of delusional twats.

As is the whole city.

Welcome though, Youri. I hope you're good.

That made me laugh. There were 3 good eggs in there though so only 95% delusional tits.

I love how it's a 'sideways step'. Lads... we're in a different league. Literally.

"They'll be where we are in two years"

Yeah, that's right, you whiney accented fucking yokels.

I think they mean with a Premier League and FA cup win added to our honours! 

Very sound piece of business for me and adds nicely to our midfield options.

Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans, Ramsey, Luiz total spend around £20m.
Or what we got for Chukwuemeka?

Love this. Thanks Chuck.

Couple of million change as well from the twenty!

We've probably lashed out £5m - £10m each on signing-on fees for Kamara and Tielemans and their agents though.

I have no major problem with Leicester, myself, but they do realise Youri's contract was up and they've just been been relegated?

If they wanted to keep him, they could've started with not being so shit they went down. If they wanted a fee for him, they could've managed their contracts better.

He's no longer their player and where he moves next is entirely his business. That's how I would've felt if we'd had any half-decent players out of contract when we went down.

Fortunately we didn't, and they mostly went in a jumble sale. Unfortunately we spent 18 months replacing them with even worse.

But whatever. Calm down, Leicester fans. You have bigger problems.

Decent signing. It'll be interesting to see where he fits in but he's needed for the season we have ahead.

This hurts me and when I see our other players whom I've cheered on over the years that will hurt too.
I guess I'm still coming to terms with relegation.

Fair enough, pal, but you support Leicester. Relegation can't be too much of a novelty.

On two assets now worth approx £100m in total.

Indeed, and it all gives us lots of extra FFP leeway.

Aren’t wages also part of FFP?

I've always been a big fan of his. Great signing. Now let's follow it up with Harvey Barnes. That would really piss off the fox hunt loving fuckers.

I like this signing a lot - low risk, we need a bigger squad and he fits into that approach, clearly talented, great age, provides more competition in a crucial area of the pitch, in on a free, and with the Messiah coaching him properly, feel confident he'll return to his best form in a Villa shirt.

Our midfield is really looking tasty - great job all round by the recruiting team.
