She is popular on Instagram. There's a lot of thirsty men who know about her. A lot of people think we only have her in the team because of her insta follow count and some people realise that she's actually a legitimate professional footballer who plays in the world's most competitive women's league, for a team that finished 5th and gets called up to her national team. Just pin this and close the thread if this is all we're going to do. When was the last post in here about how she played in the most recent game? I suspect those posts are outweighed by "this is good PR" posts 20 to 1. I hope none of you are involved in PR if you think that is how this works. We can't sell more than 12,500 tickets for a 43,000 capacity stadium with the women's golden boot winner and someone with 45 million followers. If she's signed for PR reasons we've well and truly sh** the bed. I would wager 12,400 of the 12,500 minimum would have gone regardless of whether or not she was there. People with 1% of her following could get a room filled at a conference or a stadium several times a year. If there's anything to do with PR in her contract she's in breach of it because she's not doing enough to promote the team. She's doing the normal amount a football player at the club would do. The undertones of it all stink of "sex sells" as well, which I don't think is the way a women's football club think in 2023. Maybe West Ham but that's what you get when you make your money from porn and then hire your son to manage the "ladies" because you don't care about how that team performs. I'd like to think we're above that as a club and fanbase. Get off your high horse and get in the real world. Yes there are alot of pervs out there who follow her for looks but unless you can provide the data of how many of her followers fall in this category you are just generalising Erm no you are wrong because no one has said use her as a hooker, well i certainly havent unless you can show me? Why do we have to continuously have to have these boring debates. Have I said she cant play football and we only have her for her looks??? Has anyone said its for sex sells?? Also you are aware she did a revealing calender right? So what you talking about no one made her do it. If she wants to do that or do videos dressed as ronald macdonald let her do what she pleases. She is a grown woman ans has enough stroke to do what she wants or doesnt want. Have i said we should use her high status to atrract more people to villa ? Hell yeah. Why would anyone object to this is just wierd. So if we signed ronaldo and we all the PR he brings that would be wrong would to atrract new followers to the club? Look how many followers she has on insta Just to give you context Luiz 999k followers Watkins 378k followers Martinez 13m followers Bailey 731k followers Alsisha 15.6m followers i would imagine a majority of those didnt know who aston villa were before she signed. Stop turning this into a political thread look at her for as person not what gender she is. Edited October 15, 2023 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 13 hours ago, MotoMkali said: Think it's worth pointing out that most of these followers will be people in countries like turkey were access to porn is rather limited. It's pretty common knowledge that on platforms like twitch that the top streamers in the beaches, pools and hottub category get most of their views from nations like that. So whilst lehmann might raise the profile of a club as a whole there will be basically no people who come to the games for her. She is signed for her play, perhaps she received an extra year on her deal because of the other financial benefits she might bring to the club. But she is with the team for her footballing abikity I don't think anybody's suggesting that she's at Villa ONLY because of here social media presence, as she's clearly a decent footballer. But just like Grealish at Man City, and Beckham at Los Angeles, I'm sure the club isn't upset that she's got millions of followers. She doesn't have to walk about holding an Aston Villa sandwich board to bring attention to the club, even if it's indirectly. Apparently Drake asked her for an Aston Villa shirt. The club are going to be very happy with that sort of exposure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already responded to most of what you said in my original post so rather than retreading that I'll just leave you to your own opinions. If you think I'm on my high horse for saying can we talk about a footballer playing football, in the football section of a football forum, good for you. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whats the difference for that and any other famous woman? Its not a crime Probably a load of women follow grealish because of his looks not they like football so whats difference if people choose to do that?

foreveryoung Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm a fan, an this is no disrespect. But if she wants to be known as a footballer and not as someone to attract the pervs, she needs to clean up her social media. Some of you need to go on Instagram and take a look, I'm sure the data weighs in more people who aren't interested in her career, if you don't believe that, your a bit nieve. Daly has 455k follows and don't post pictures to attract the pervs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smg Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 She offers little to the team on the pitch, when she appeared on the touchline before entering the play today the five young lads iin front all got their phones out and photographed (Arsenal fans) . Every time I go on Facebook she is there . Sadly we don’t get any points for her on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be so naive there’s a reason Sam Kerr has 14 million less followers than Lehman and is 10 times the player. She markets her self really well she knows exactly what she’s doing, football is a side hussle for her! Fair play to her and fair play to DL for having a piece of it! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 I have to admit whilst I flick though her social media using my left hand only I agree she needs to clean up her social media and stop attracting the pervs! 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake up chap, it's life unfortunately. As I said I'm a fan, but she wouldn't have 15 million followers if she just posted football pictures, so I know why she's doing it, an I'm sure she knows too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AvfcRigo82 Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Really not sure what the big deal is??? She's a footballer, a very good looking lady, and she knows the business side of things outside football too and knows that glamour sells. She's a brand and she's promoting herself outside of her main occupation - like 1000s of others are in this day and age. So I'm not sure what the problem is with some people with her doing what she's doing. I'm pleased for her, she's a clever person and I'm glad we have her at Aston Villa - for all the right reasons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats abit harsh I bet all the men on here calling everyone a perv in here have once in their life bought a calender, watched porn or added someone on social media based on their appearance Like i said before if she happy doing what she does leave her do it. She is a very attractive woman. If she wants to get paid doing it she can. She is a grown woman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jim Posted October 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) For the naysayers, worth noting her most viewed Instagram reel with 28.2m views is her walking down a corridor wearing her Villa training kit and saying up the Villa at the end. Her most viewed TikTok is over 50m taking free kicks in yep, you guessed it her Villa kit. Edited October 17, 2023 by jim 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
