John Terry is a new player of Aston Villa. The former captain of Chelsea and of the England National Team, after having left the Blues, arrived in Championship in order to help Villans to come back in Premier. The announcement was given, not without a certain dose of pride, by the president of the team, according to who this was the greatest transfer market operation of the history of the club.

But what captured the attention of the media, followers, and supporters was the way in which Tony Xia announced it, via Twitter. He posted, in fact, a fake WhatsApp conversation among him, the team’s manager and John Terry himself, where the number 26 stated the desire to fight to come back in Premier League the next season.
