Exclusive: Aston Villa are to rename the Holte End to the 'BK8 Betting Stand' and will replace the Aston Villa logo on the front of the stand with the BK8 logo. The deal is worth an extra £2 million a year on top of the shirt sponsorship. #avfc

I'm hearing from my sources in France that Aston Villa have made a bid in the region of €45 million for Lille forward Jonathan David. It's expected that this offer will be accepted. #avfc

Anyone questioning this, just wait until tomorrow. You'll all see.

Newcastle already proving my previous claims that they won't be splashing out anywhere near the cash that their fans expect. Blown out the water by Villa on Kamara, Coutinho and Carlos transfers. It's my understanding that they won't spend over £60 million this window. #NUFC

A lesson to be learned here that owners net worth does not = big money spent. Newcastle is not a high priority on the Saudi's spending list.

Lescott absolutely spot on regarding Bielsa. 'Master tactician' my backside, the man is a class A fraud. Leeds will go down this season. #LUFC #MCFC

#NUFC fans has it sunk in yet that you aren't going to spend even a quarter of the blood money you expected to? Owners net worth means absolutely nothing if they aren't willing to spend it. Getting relegated 100%.

Hearing from a very trusted source of mine that Grealish will REJECT move to Manchester City and sign a new contract with Villa. Whispers from Grealish camp have been leaking out this evening. Fully expect him to remain at Villa unless there is a Delph-like U turn. #avfc #mcfc

Kalvin Phillips is the definition of a 'system player' how he is in the England squad is beyond me. Woeful. #ENG

Reports of Villa being interested in Emile Smith-Rowe are true. They have been tracking his contract situation closely and now feel as though a bid may be accepted. Initial offer expected to be around £28 million. #avfc #afc

I'm hearing from my sources that Aston Villa are to make an offer of £30 million for Leeds United forward Raphinha. I expect Leeds to sell this summer. #AVFC #LUFC

Geordies, do you have an apology for trying to completely destroy Richard Masters reputation? Self entitled council house dwellers. You are a disgrace. Trying to give a murderer freedom of your city just so your football club would get a bit of extra cash #NUFC #NUFCTakeover

#NUFC fans are you still going to moan about Premier League corruption? Complete and utter self entitled scum. Trying to have an opinion on something without the full facts. Egg on your faces. Hate to say I told you so. #NUFCtakeover

If this wave of sustained abuse continues by #LUFC fans, I will be noting down your Twitter usernames and reporting them to Twitter support. For the more serious threats against myself, I will be passing your usernames over to my legal team.

Get off your high horses #LUFC fans, we all know when Bielsa leaves you will be back in the Championship. You'll never be able to sustain this form with your awful squad and finances. The equivalent of little man syndrome, but a football club.

#LUFC fans do you still want to abuse me over this. Egg. On. Your. Faces. You'll be lucky to stay up.

Personally think all the hype around Leeds United is unjustified. Bielsa is an extremely overrated manager - has never won a trophy in any European league. Leeds have very limited funds, talk of a top half finish is lunacy. I personally believe they are going down. #LUFC
