New: #AVFC could sign Nicolas Jackson despite UEFA's 45-day guideline that seeks to prevent clubs from completing ‘player exchange actions.’ Clubs can put forward case to UEFA based on several factors - such as an argument that they would pursue a player regardless of team they played for. Villa aware of this in relation to Jackson - story w/@CWeatherspoon_ on @TheAthleticFC

Do you know when you watch a TV series you didn’t expect to enjoy, but it gradually grows on you, and by the end, you’re loving it?
Then comes the second series. A few key characters have changed. Your first reaction is: “Hmm… I’m not sure. I was used to the others.”
But you give it time. Because the storytelling is still in the hands of the same writer.
That’s how I see this new Aston Villa under Unai Emery. There are question marks, of course, and some new characters will take time to grow on you. But after what the previous “series” achieved, perhaps those question marks should be met less with apprehension and more with curiosity.
We know the storyteller. We know what he’s capable of. So give it time. Enjoy the ride, the new memories. And let’s see where this series takes us.

Aston Villa can confirm that the club’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding the registration of Brian Madjo has been upheld.
17-year-old Madjo signed for the club from Metz in January. Born in Enfield, London and a UK citizen, he left England at a young age and was raised in Luxembourg but has been unable to play due to FIFA‘s rules on the international transfer of minors.
The striker has scored four goals in pre-season so far, including two in the opening friendly fixture against Walsall.
The court’s decision today means that Brian will be registered as an Aston Villa player and eligible to play in official competition matches for the forthcoming season.

Brighton are the only Premier League side with a POSITIVE Net Spend over the Past 5 Years.
Interesting list to say the least ....
Maybe City don't spend the most?!
Newcastle spending more than Liverpool, City & many others.
Aston Villa and Unai Emery massive credit.

There’s a lot of noise about Unai Emery and Manchester United, so let me clarify a few things..
I explain in this video and why the project at Aston Villa matters so much to Emery right now.

Aston Villa deserve to be 3 points ahead of Wolves, based on xG.
In reality, they’re 34 points ahead.
