I expect and would hope that in his video he does acknowledge his love of Villa as a fan and former player. I’d like to hear him tell their fans he’s joined to be part of something unique at City and to not only elevate his personal career at club level, but on a national stage too by training and learning under Pep.
He should also point out how the fee was a huge attraction as it means Villa, his childhood club, can now invest and progress where they couldn’t of had he stayed.
I’d then like to hear how excited he is at this new challenge etc. I think he needs to address and please both sets of fans to save the abuse he may get otherwise. Not only that but as a Villa fan he needs to explain his reasoning to their fans.
Just my opinion of course… Doesn’t harm his reputation to admit he turned down higher wages to join us too!
