🚨🇧🇷 NEW: Aston Villa representatives are in Brazil & will be at the Grêmio Arena tonight to observe Alysson & Kaio Jorge — the club signals that it will invest heavily in Brazilian football in the January transfer window.

Loan move for Wesley incoming!

That Coutinho guy looks like he could be a bit tidy.

[algy]

My policy is that we always need more fancy South American players who do mad shit. I think that’s what we ought to prioritise as a club.

[Sexual Ealing]

Seconded.

She's crap on bake-off.

A 23 year old from the Brazilian league seems a bit strange. Anyone good is always snapped up before that age.

Where is Brazilian Villa to give us his opinion?

[PeterWithesShin]

He was snapped up early by Juventus. It didn't work out anf he went back to Brazil.

BV represents the Brazilian immigrants within a 50 mile radius of the Shannon. His days in Rio are sadly behind him.

There's plenty of those, Roscommon town is like little Goiás, and then there's Gort.

This Igor Thiago rumour seems to be gaining some ground

Will we be able to spend any money in the January window or are we still handcuffed

[Sexual Ealing]

We're trussed up like a shit chicken John.

I wonder if we’ll be one of the many clubs who will be interested in that kid at Bolton, Crozier-Duberry. He looks fucking brilliant.

Edit: oh balls, I’ve just read he’s on loan from Brighton.

So the tabloid rumours about Adam and Michael's love tryst were true.

[eamonn]

They were the two bozos that came to mind to me as well!

A little more because the UEFA rules are by calendar year not season so, as long as we meet the restrictions we were put under for 2025, we will have a little more room. Keeping the wage bill fairly steady is what really matters though.
