Who is UA?

[AV84]

Maybe he has seen it all. Or at least the area. There were rumours of him moving to the Prem in January, he nearly signed for Spurs a few seasons back. There's other Spanish players in the Prem he may have spoken to. I'm sure he's done some kind of research.

As an aside

I know that UA went over to speak to him directly but he has signed for Villa without seeing the stadium , the training facilities, the local area (I mean the Roman road / Four Oaks area)

Does he know we are not by the sea

Seriously - it is a huge move for a 5 year contract without coming to see it first?

The lifestyle in Spain is great, but he's on like 40k/week.. he's going to triple his wages.

United Airlines.

I bet he's been all over Google Maps, saw there was a Primark at the Fort and thought "Yes, I'm fucking in"

Also, I think us mere mortals underestimate the lifestyle of a professional footballer, and their considerations when moving.  Yes, they don't want it to be shit, but they're not "moving house" like the rest of us.  It could only be for a year or two, and they almost certainly won't be retiring in that location.

I'd move almost anywhere for a couple of years if it trebled my wages.

No wonder his missus was smiling

I imagine one of the first things you do if you're him is get on the phone to Alex Moreno who tells him how great it all is, he then forwards across all those TikTok videos of him, the Emis and the Brazilian lads having a lovely old time during the week and then making the decision of whether his enormous mansion is in the countryside in Sutton or in Warwickshire can probably wait a few weeks.

He’s a bit thin isn’t he, looks like he could snap from a decent challenge

I did think the same, though I think it's all relative as my waistline expands, and if you don't mind mate I'd say you had a 'low centre of gravity'

Ha ha yes just like Maradona
But there the similarity ends

I bet he's been all over Google Maps, saw there was a Primark at the Fort and thought "Yes, I'm fucking in"

He’ll probably self combust with excitement when he sees Star City for the first time

I’m sure if he’d been told two weeks ago that we have more miles of canals than Venice that he’d have sacked his honeymoon off and stretched the shirt already
