@PolAVFC Emery is more than simply wanted at Aston Villa. He’s loved and supported.

In return he’s delivering enormous success.

@espenstrand Is it not the other way around?

Rogers has star quality at Aston Villa. Put him in Arsenal, PSG or Bayern Munich & he’s no longer the centre of attention.

He’s a brilliant player. If he wants to be at another club then we need to generate the maximum sum for him.

@KieranMaguire It feels about right to me.

Mainly because I remember the surprise when Newcastle signed Shearer for that sum.

Turns out he was worth it.

@withnail_damo @kevinhatchard That’s brave - thanks for letting me know.

@avfcbreaking @NetworkRailEM Well, it took £1.3bn to get Universal Studios to go there…

I suspect this story will grow in the coming days - on hand if there’s a #journorequest

Bristol Airport has filed an action to have its Subsidy Control challenge against the £205.2m grant awarded by the Welsh Government to Cardiff International Airport heard in the Court of Appeal.

Ward Hadaway’s article on this subject can be read at.

@avfc_stef When Liverpool sold Coutinho it was a good move because:

- they sold at the top of the market; and

- they were able to use that money to buy other quality players.

Rogers enhances Aston Villa but if we can sell at the top of the market and buy a good replacement we should.

@Primetimeperry One for next year

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

£1.3bn is a massive amount for an inward investment subsidy.

It will be interesting to see the feedback that the CMA gives to the proposal.

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@TotalVilla_ If someone wants to pay £140m then (a) that’s what he’s worth in the market and (b) I would be as surprised as you about it, but welcome it all the same.

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@ORSDsoldier @ThatsFootballTV True!

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@TotalVilla_ Leander Dendoncker

Ok, being serious Nathan De Cat & Franco Mastantuono

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@HKFinalThird Appears to have predicted Gabriel signing for Arsenal too

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@NerazzurriVilla Evann Guessland was at Aston Villa for just 175 days.

Although he seemed off the pace during that time, plenty of good players have taken longer than that to acclimatise to the Premier League, so I’d be happy to have him back in the squad in September.

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@The2RobbiesNBC Did he give up after he put down the defence & keeper?

The rest are highly appreciated

[Alexander Rose @AlexanderPHRose]

@Alex_Berwick He is more suited to us.

Just as someone who can head the ball perfectly is a better fit for a team that likes to cross the ball.

It’s good judgement.
