CarryOnVilla

Everyone points the finger at Jack for the amazing run Vila had last season, but a few point a finger to Tyrone. Before he came in Villa's defence was as water tight as a siv. Tyrone came in and bossed it and improved the defence by a mile. He was a clear class above anyone in the Championship. More than a just a player, Him as a person changed a lot, his personality made him a squad favourite, as well as a fan favourite. it changed the spirt of the club. Best yet, he finds time and effort to help people, such as kids with his academy, giving people job opportunities, and goes out of his way to make people happy. He's a true gentleman I hope he has a sensational season and gets an England call up. The whole country needs a Tyrone to be inspired by.

let’s get Kalvin in for when we need to park the bus

After medical number 23344323343242352, We can Confirm he is in fact Marvelous

Villa has done a brilliant rebuild. I feel we have a strong chance of doing well, not just surviving. I'm so happy we got promoted this year, imagine doing this rebuild in the Championship and with that budget.

It's ok, he will be back at then end of the season to save us from relegation. Return of the Jed

Marv And Trez are now following each other on Instagram. Ain't that nice

Both Maxi and the other lad that's in the training vids are both Vasco de Gama players, one of Rio's teams. Considering Vasco are still playing their league games. it's unlikely they'll let their players come over to the UK to train with a player who's just join another club.

Have a look and work it out for yourself

and a half

Judging from his trainer’s Instagram, Doug is still in Brazil training with ex Barcelona player Maxi Lopez

No, it’s the remake, A Marvelous Voyage

NEWS JUST IN!!! He's a medical marvel. More tests needed

Same, I would love nothing more than see Jed prove all his doubters wrong

I believe Jota is going to be Villa's Signing of the season, possibly one of the Premiership's signings of the seasons.

I agree, He's one to be developed, rather than fit straight in in to the starting 11. I believe Marv will be the starting DM, later part of the season we start seeing Doug show his potential.

That's a likely outcome, but will he be good enough for the Prem?

As we are linked with almost every goalkeeper ever, which GK do you think we will end up with? I would like Butland, but i feel we will end up with Heaton or Etheridge.

I that was the case, he wouldn't even be at the ground, let alone come on as a sub. What is with this Sketchy McGinn paranoia? It's pre season, DS is trying some other players out.

Amazing news!! Judging by the released pictures and interview video, this was a done deal when Villa were in the USA. The work permit is still to be resolved, but there must be a very good chance it will be going through if Villa are announcing his signing

I doubt it. I feel we will know if this deal is dead or not on Monday, as that's what Douglas's trainer has said.

Chill Winston!! John McGinn is staying This is pre season, where options are tried, youngsters are tested and ideas are in the works. Fielding our best 11 for these games isn't really what pre season is about.
