#AVFC boss Unai Emery admits he's always "worried" at the start of each season, but remains positive this year because of the "intelligent" business the club is conducting this summer. "I am worried. Yes. I am positive. Yes. And then it's time to work." https://www.birminghammail

Johan Manzambi is back on the grass as he steps up his recovery. #AVFC managing his rehab carefully and will need to catch up due to no pre-season/adaption period, but Manzambi is on the next stage and stepping things up.

#AVFC have sold Ezri Konsa to Arsenal in a deal worth £55m including add-ons. Dean Smith bought the centre-back for just £12m seven years ago, and he went on to make 231 PL appearances - only eight players have made more for Villa - before winning the UEL. https://www.birminghamm

Unai Emery: "With Ollie, he's a fantastic striker, always being up and down in performance, but we still believed in him. Now, there are 10 days left to finish the window. We will see what happens. If he leaves then it must be good for him, for the club and the team." #AVFC [cont

Unai Emery "definitely" did not expect the level of change that has taken place at #AVFC this summer and hopes fans will be patient with the club's new signings. "This year, teams have come for our players, but I accept it, and we have to stay positive." https://www.birminghammai
