What do you people make of this I just read on twitter.

30m pumped into #avfc via Recon Group Ltd and companies House
?

which strangely actually looks like £103 million.

Bit of a strange question mate, think you'd need to post more info to get any meaningful response. Companies House info is largely open to the public and I couldn't see anything like what you've mentioned - also, not sure what you mean by £30m looking like £103m?
With Villa clearly able to compete again on transfers and wages, this would suggest the owners are confident they can comply with ffp which would presumably mean increasing turnover and probably mean 'getting creative' with sponsorship like the big boys, so there might be something in this - just a bit of a vague post that's difficult to respond to mate.

DCJ1983,
Its not really my field that is why it is vague, I was just going on what I read on twitter. It referred to Recon Group Companies House and stated 30 million pumped into Villa, yet the only figure I could see mentioned was 103 million. I don't claim to understand any of it that is why I was asking it's meaning.

30 million is what the new guys paid recon for the 55 percent. That's been put into the club to help with ffp.

AVillaFan,

Wasn't a pop mate, just not much to go on. so whoever tweeted that wasn't much use.
On the plus side, Kodjia back and two new wingers in. Should've won tonight and nice to see us dominate a game. we'd have lost that 12 months ago. Still unbeaten and hopefully a bit more of a sting in attack now to kill off games.

DJC1983,

I didn't take it that way but i appreciate the explanation. I was just trying to make some sense out of how we have kept our players, signed a couple and loaned a few with FFP hanging over us, the post on twitter didn't make much sense so I was hoping someone had a bit more info (thanks Kingy for your input) . I would like to know how we sit for the January window should we require strengthening.

In regards to the match, I too thought that we were on top for much of the game, we faded towards the end which cost us their second goal, but pushed hard for the equaliser. I think the new additions this month will have a huge impact on the rest of our season once the squad settles and I truly believe we will get automatic promotion.

Espn are now saying Abrahams is close to signing,
Let's all hope no other teams come in last minute to ruin everything.
Must say this el-ghazi excites me the most,



22 Aug 2018 16:37:53
Me to MainBob, I've watched a few vids of him and, dare I say he reminds me of C Ronaldo but that's from my perception, to others he may not.
Exciting times indeed.

According to Talkrubbish, we are signing Netherlands winger Anwar El Ghazi on loan from Lille - initially on a season-long loan, though there will be an option to buy.



22 Aug 2018 11:53:49
This kid when at Ajax was a potential superstar.
Has not hit them heights since but he is a talent no doubt.



22 Aug 2018 12:15:30
From what I've seen on Twitter / Internet Anwar El Ghazi was super highly rated at Ajax but it hasn't worked out for him at Lille - This kid could be a revelation in the Championship.

Bolaise is close also, not convinced but if he can get back to the form he showed at Palace, pre injury, we have has a serious player.

If we can add Targett and Abraham as well, wow, that is a serious team.

Nyland

Hutton, Chester, Tuanzebe, Targett

Bjarnason, McGinn

Bolaise, Grealish, El Ghazi

Abraham

Subs:

De Laet
Taylor
Whelan
Lansbury
Hogan
Hourihane
Jedinak
Bree
Davis
Green
Moreira
Elphick
Kodjia
Elmohamady
Hepburn-Murphy
Bunn
Doyle-Hayes
Adomah.

According to BM journalist on twitter both Bolasie and El Ghazi have agreed to join and club are waiting (presumably on paperwork) before official announcement. If these two reach even close to their full potential this could make us genuine title contenders.
Agree with previous post that we need one more defensive signing and ideally another striker. Looking good though, so hopefully a bouncing Villa Park will really get us going this year.
