Also some talk of Roger Ibañez (not yet in concrete link territory).

What he into? Watersports?

If Konsa goes we need to go all out for Ordonez from Brugge for me.

Atlético Madrid have reached an agreement with Aston Villa for Matteo Ruggeri for €18m plus €6m in bonuses. The player will NOT travel with the team for their preseason in South Korea.

I read elsewhere that he's currently on €40k a week, so wages shouldn't be an issue.

According to these reports, it's 18m EUR and he's expected to agree 'quickly';

https://sportwitness.co.uk/matteo-ruggeri-aston-villa-reach-agreement-for-signing/

"AS Roma and Juventus have shown interest. More interestingly, Newcastle United and Liverpool have both made last minute attempts to snatch the transfer from Aston Villa. Neither club has been able to do so."

I don't doubt it - he's heard about Confuzzled at the Metropole, and he's all in!

Is that the lad who seemed to have Ollie in his pocket when we played them?

Yep, considering Birmingham has the largest Furry convention in the UK each year.

They're a harmless bunch, the drunken sex addicts!

I've heard of Furries, but Yiffing must have passed me by.
