#AVFC continue to work on signing both Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Joao Palhinha as Unai Emery looks to bolster his squad before the deadline in two weeks' time. Bayern Munich are open to letting Palhinha leave on loan for a high loan fee.

I think it's the best outcome for all parties. Despite many being impressed or hopeful based on his pre-season performances, the hard truth is he isn't at the level we require. I'm sure he will still have a decent career.

Ah, yes. I remember getting ripped to bits. Like heading a cheese grater.

#AVFC reach agreement to sign Zion Suzuki from Parma. Deal worth €30m+possible €5m in add-ons. 23yo Villa's top GK target to succeed Emi Martinez - had tracked Suzuki over the previous two seasons. Villa believe player favoured a move to them throughout the summer. @theathleticfc.bsky.social
Aston Villa reach agreement to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki
The deal for the 23-year-old Japan international is worth an initial €30million plus bonuses that could be worth €35m.

I find it amusing that Villa need to help Emi find a move, but at the same time perplexed by it. I'm not sure why he doesn't have plenty of options, given how good he is.
Zion Suzuki to undergo medical at #AVFC on Monday morning. Deal worth €30m+€5m, with 23yo signing a 5yr contract. Suzuki was the club's first-choice target to replace Emiliano Martinez, who Villa will now look to help find a new move after Juventus fell through. @theathleticfc.bsky.social

And Spuds potentially then move for Emi? That won't go down well.
Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com · 2d ago🚨🧤 Juventus, Aston Villa and Emiliano Martínez camp all calling the deal 100% off tonight. There were huge differences on price and also Juve doubtful on finger issue. #AVFC still sign Suzuki and Juventus now in direct talks for Guglielmo Vicario. 🔜
You have to laugh, really. I respect Emi, but 18 months of constant drama over his future make this new situation quite amusing. Villa thoroughly in the driving seat rather than the player. A refreshing change.
David Ornstein@david-ornstein.bsky.social · 2d ago🚨 Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa to Juventus off. Talks reduced price gap & personal terms no problem but #Juve not proceeding with deal. #AVFC will try to find solution but either way Zion Suzuki new No1 🚨 W/ @jacobtanswell.bsky.social @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...

Watching the latest episodes of Murder 24/7. This woman in the picture, what the fuck!? Patting him like she's his Mom when he has just butchered his girlfriend!
Calm and understated off the pitch, it's Zion Suzuki's commanding presence between the sticks that matches the scale of his ambition: "to become the best goalkeeper in the world." Nicknamed 'animale' at Parma, Suzuki has big shoes to fill at #AVFC. 🇯🇵

🚨🟣🔵 Aston Villa and Parma have started exchanging documents for Zion Suzuki deal. Follows agreement with the Japanese GK after #AVFC match PSG bid as deal with French club collapsed yesterday. 🇯🇵 All set for travel and medical, as @jacobsben @david_ornstein reported.
Ok, so this full speed ahead. We need him in the building ASAP. Regarding Martinez, I've seen that the potential deal with Juve will only be around £8.5m, with only £6.5m being paid up front. That feels like an appalling fee for a keeper of his calibre.
David Ornstein@david-ornstein.bsky.social · 2d ago🚨 Aston Villa reach agreement with Parma to sign Zion Suzuki. Deal for 23yo #Parma goalkeeper worth €30m + future add-ons potentially taking package to €35m. 5yr contract in place with Japan 🇯🇵 international; keen on #AVFC move throughout 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...
I've only been watching for the last 15 mins but we've barely had the ball. Poor defending for both goals. Fringe players without the quality around them unsurprisingly look way off the level required.

Jacob Tanswell@jacobtanswell.bsky.social · 4d agoNew: Joao Gomes and Brian Madjo expected to miss the start of the season through injury.

We're very sad to hear about the death of Jimmy Rimmer. Born in Southport, a twice European Cup winner, 1 England cap and 470 club appearances, majority for MUFC, AVFC, AFC and SCFC. A great career. RIP Jimmy
Arsenal potentially moving defensive targets is obviously good news for Villa. That aside, I find it very odd they are only valuing England's first choice RCB at £35M. If he was in the final year of his contract, fair enough, but it's such a low valuation. IMO, i think it's insulting to the player.
Looks like they are not prepared to pay a reasonable fee for Konsa. Good news.
Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com · 4d ago🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal made contact with Jarell Quansah’s camp over possible move this week. Initial talks as @RobDorsettSky reported, Bayer Leverkusen will try to keep the defender this season. Liverpool had €70m buy back clause this summer but expired — no clauses for other clubs.
Really sad news this morning to hear Jimmy Rimmer has passed away. A Villa legend embedded in our folklore. RIP Jimmy 💜💙😢 #HEITS
And all because he has been humiliated by a bin.
