Aston Villa centre-back Mungo Bridge sealed a deadline day loan move to FC Annecy.
And a number of Villa supporters were quick to share their thoughts at the transfer news on social media.
The 20-year-old’s only senior Villa appearance came against Liverpool in the FA Cup last season, and he’ll now be gaining first-team experience in the French third-tier after completing a season-long loan move.
Bridge, who will turn 21 later this month, became the 11th and final Villa Under-23 to leave Bodymoor Heath on loan, shortly after Dominic Revan’s switch to Northampton Town was completed.
Villa’s loan player development coach, Mile Jedinak, looks set to be a busy man during the season, with Bridge another player he’ll now be keeping a close eye on.
Villa fans react
Villa shared news of Bridge’s move to FC Annecy on their official Twitter page on Thursday evening. This is what these Villa fans had to say in reply, with one labelling it as ‘great’.
“Wow, save a back up lol”
“Oh my god, you can’t keep doing this to us”
“That’s massive for him. Will be a special player for us soon”
“This is great. But boy, the squad is gonna feel so small”
“We love loans at this club”
“Weird move this.”
