There is nothing concrete that we are signing him. was only the 1 link from some random french journalist which now seems ages ago now. Dont think this will happen

What do you mean? He liked some Villa pictures on Instagram, it's a done deal.

The shirt sponsor is fine.

What we really need is an official noodle sponsor:

I call BS on this one. They are quoting prices in pounds? It should be in Euros 

I won't believe this until Emi has a selfie with him.

Read in that BM rag that an alternative is Belotti. Do they just put all the rumours from before in a hat and pick at random?

Congrats to Jack, Ollie and Ty.

Think Targett and Konsa can feel a little hard done by after the great seasons they've had. 

Shaw and Chillwell are excellent left backs so can understand why Targett is not in.

Konsa can feel hard done by, but it's not surprise he's not in either.

Some UK squads have been announced ...

BBC: Alan Shearer, Alex Scott, Rio Ferdinand, Micah Richards, Ashley Williams, Mark Hughes, James McFadden, Shelley Kerr, Charlie Adam, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Jurgen Klinsmann

ITV: Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Patrick Vieira, Graeme Souness, Ashley Cole, Eni Aluko, Robert Earnshaw, Emma Hayes, Nigel de Jong, John Collins, Joe Ledley, Nadia Nadim, Scott Brown and Andros Townsend

Emma Hayes should be decent. Shame Carney isn't on the list. Surely better than Scott Brown or Charlie Adam.

Bruce said: “We’ll never say it’s an achievement to finish 12th for a club of our stature but it’s an achievement.

"I hope the people who have written us off, they’ll eat humble pie and give us some credit."

Trust Bruce to bring pie into it.

There'll be a fair few of these lads go out on loan next season. Chuka will not though, he's definitely being slowly being a first teamer. Villa's own young Yaya Toure in making

I'd say he has the style of Pogba personally.

Haven’t watched much of the youth side so was great to see a proper full game. Thought Brad Young was particularly impressive tbh. 

Agree. His runs in behind the defence were fantastic.

Loved the fake shot Chuk did that bamboozled 4 defenders.

How good is this, fantastic scenes.

Not a mention of this on sky, zero, nothing.

Only because Liverpool didn't win.

Such a dominant display, which the score doesn't reflect and we were holding on there.

Was Christene one of our recent purchases last summer? Or has he been with us a while?

Bought from Exeter.

Bale is having a great game.

How much of a prospect is Brad Young? Don’t often hear him talked about alongside Barry, Carney etc but just watching the Youth Cup goals and he bagged a fair few.

From what I've watched he holds the ball up well and makes clever runs. Scores and assists well.

If he's available for the reported fee, then yes I'd take him.

I went for that waste of space Traore, but Nakamba was excellent.

As good as Chelsea have been with Tuchel in charge, they got spanked by West Brom so it is possible to beat them. I would like Jaden Ashley Fabian Tyrone Thaddeus Philogene-Bidace to have more game time today.

Mason Mount does it and Southgate says Grealish should have done the same.

Every club has deluded fans. Don't think this a consensus. 

I thought the Palace goals were Elmo's fault, not Hause.

Yeah, thanks for the service Elmo. You also provided the cross for Anwar to score the first goal in the play off final and has been a great servant. 

I am a sentimental fool and if Sunday is his last game, I'd like him to come on near the end of the game.

I didn’t see all the game but didn’t he come on in the 90th minutes? Surprised made such an impression in such little time. 

He managed to pin Spurs back with some good runs with the ball. He and Chuk had a good understanding on the right.

He makes the hard things look easy and the easy things look hard. His short passing is woeful at times, but his interceptions were magic.
