Use our rumours form to send us aston villa transfer rumours.

30 Aug 2016 23:30:24
Richards is off to westham.



31 Aug 2016 07:42:48
Could be one the best transfers we have concluded.
Both LeScott and Richards gone, fantastic.



30 Aug 2016 22:38:56
I believe Kodjia is ironically pronounced 'Codger' and thus not dissimilar to most of the signings we made this time last year.



30 Aug 2016 22:16:03
Deals i'm hoping for

Out ayew an traore (sulkers) 15m
Richards - free

In - adomah 5m
Wells 10m
Dunk 8m
Hendrick 10m

Another 18 m doc please then re evaluate in Jan.


Loan - loftus cheek
Maybe another couple of loans if available matty James at Leicester was good in championship kept drink water out of Leicester side.



30 Aug 2016 22:49:46
I like this but you might be asking Γ₯ little too much. Some good names there though.



30 Aug 2016 22:55:30
Would be delighted with that.



31 Aug 2016 09:17:49
That would be brilliant but think Hendricks going the prem.



30 Aug 2016 21:50:52
Traore out adomah in good deal . aweyou going as well we just need flaby an richards to go now.



30 Aug 2016 23:18:52
On your bike Traore let's see how you like Middlesborough on a cold winter night and then relegation. Money money money, another Parasite.



30 Aug 2016 21:47:41
Ayew to hull.



30 Aug 2016 19:48:33
Now if we could just sign nakki wells, a defender and an attacking midfielder, even just loan deals, i think we'll be starting the real campaign from here onwards.



30 Aug 2016 20:47:19
Totally agree.



30 Aug 2016 21:01:01
I was hoping RDM might be able to use his Chelsea contacts and take a few of their young players off their hands
Anyone for Loftus Cheerk and Piazon?



30 Aug 2016 22:00:14
I forgot about wells would be great. Ayew has got ever so gready i rekon he thinks he can walk the ball in the net. Traore thinks far too much of himself too could of done a job for us. I would like us to get lansbury from forest schwartzer tom ince if possible no would be hard to get. Assombalonga could b an option.



30 Aug 2016 22:08:51
Loftus cheek would be brilliant, don't know about that piazon, hasn't he been out on loan to championship a few times and never really impressed?



30 Aug 2016 22:09:44
Like Lansbury could be a good shout.



30 Aug 2016 22:34:11
It seems young players have a sense of entitlement which is not deserved, but there again agents and clubs are just as bad so hey presto, they live in a bubble.



30 Aug 2016 22:55:47
Remember traore is a product of barca, best thing since dliced bread brigade, and they're treated that way from a young age, or another way to put it, the land of make believe!



30 Aug 2016 21:39:17
Either or both please lol

Youngsters such as Dack or Judge would be good signings I think.



30 Aug 2016 20:25:06
These transfer are frightening If kodija scores the goals then understand its worth it to get back in the prem, I would sell ayew if hull offer 11m would take ulloah from Leicester.



30 Aug 2016 20:45:28
Agree with selling Ayew but would prefer Nakhi Wells as his replacement. Pace, direct and provide some creativity we are missing.

Would take Ulloa as a replacement for Gastede as Kodgia is as good in the air and has pace and skill Rudi is lacking.



30 Aug 2016 21:02:39
With you on that one Dave. I was hoping Ayew would tear up the division but he has a face like a well slapped arse and is getting on my nerves.



30 Aug 2016 23:22:54
Wells would be a great signing but selling Ayew for Β£11 million is never going to happen, his agent has made it up and leaked it to the press to cook up a frenzy! Looking and sniffing for his sales fee!



30 Aug 2016 19:45:04
So what we going to do when the African cup of nations comes about?



30 Aug 2016 19:53:33
We're in deep trouble.



30 Aug 2016 20:30:23
As I said earlier, I have a feeling that someone else is coming in and that either Ayew or Gestede will be leaving as there is interest in both.

Need creativity now to lay on the chances and maybe contribute goals from midfield.



30 Aug 2016 18:28:24
It's ok signing all these strikers but unless we have players to set them up we're going nowhere. Qe need creativity.



30 Aug 2016 17:29:19
Are any fans worried that we have spent too much money as it does t gurantee success! Also what do people think on the balance of the squad?



30 Aug 2016 17:42:41
So, after years of underinvestment, you are concerned about over investment?
Who'd be a football club owner. Particularly at this club.



30 Aug 2016 17:59:58
Worried about how much we have spent fgs all football has gone mad since latest tv deals enjoy it we getting quality for money we have spent its not as if its been wasted like other years xia is the man think what he will spend once we get back in the promise land.



30 Aug 2016 18:30:54
I never said I'm worried I'm just keen how other fans think, I just think we could have got some players for cheaper e. g. Kodjia.



30 Aug 2016 19:19:59
If he scores 20+ league goals this season, with Ross, rudy, etc. And these goals get us back up, that's 100m.

Bargain if you ask me.


I'm not sure if it's a Midlands thing, I'm our dna or something, but Jesus guys.
We moan with an owner that had no passion
We moan with an owner that had deep pockets, and short arms
We moan with an owner that wears his heart on his sleeve
We moan that he spends to much

We are a work in progress, but for progress to happen we have to ride it all together.
New owner
New manager
New players

Criticism for the sake of it is so counter productive, negative and annoying!

Avfc10, I'm not saying you are mate, just using this thread to say something that normally needs saying on every thread!
What other fans think, or what other clubs do, is irrelevant, stuff them!
We are Aston villa, stand together, walk tall, and believe!
The only way we move forward is as one!



30 Aug 2016 19:26:14
I know where you coming mate, but I think it all comes from last season, we spent money last season and we only got a couple of good players out of that!
I think what the owner has done has been brilliant so far e. g. Cutting the wage bill and buying good players for the championship, however until results come on the pitch there is going to be negativity around the fans and you have to understand that!



30 Aug 2016 19:29:29
Well said Flackie. No pleasing some people! I for one am really looking forward to this season instead of the dour last few years we have had. RDM and Dr T are doing a great job so far. can't wait for our next match.



30 Aug 2016 20:09:40
I get where your coming from Avfc10 but it doesn't worry me at this stage. I think we can afford to push the boat out to try and get back to the Prem at the first attempt but if we end up staying in the championship for multiple seasons, this level of spending will become unsustainable.

Right now I would be happy if we could get the last few (Richards, Gabby etc) out the door on deadline day to get a few quid in and a chunk off the wage bill and splash a bit more cash for a creative attacking midfielder.



30 Aug 2016 21:04:51
Flackie, if you're strarting a political party, I'm joining!



30 Aug 2016 22:02:07
Sounds good to me mate!
You can be my foreign secretary!



30 Aug 2016 22:03:42
I know what you mean but last year we brought players from a different league (poor one at that) . At least this time we are buying players who know the championship. It will take time to gel just think if we can win 2 games on the bounce would make a big difference.



30 Aug 2016 16:44:16
as I am a man of my word and I was wrong about remy kingvilla will now be retired and I'll be know as notacluevilla going forward. end of an era. I feel quite sad πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.



30 Aug 2016 16:51:06
A bit late to be changing your name cause you got a post wrong buddy. Keep it up all the same though!



30 Aug 2016 17:06:35
yes I'll still be me but reign in some of the real wild ones lol.



30 Aug 2016 17:26:06
Nah, keep 'em coming πŸ‘πŸ» think we've all got to hold our hands up and say that you're right about Dr Tony's wealth though, imagine what what he's going to spend when we go up, yes WHEN we go up πŸ’΅πŸΎπŸ†

UTV.



30 Aug 2016 17:44:18
It's alright mate; we already though of you as "notacluevilla" anyway
You stay as you are cockah.



30 Aug 2016 18:39:16
lol mendax πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†.



30 Aug 2016 16:49:39
do i have to re register Ed to change name?



{Ed033's Note - yes, it only takes 1 minute to register

30 Aug 2016 19:45:40
I don't think you should change your name!
You might be a numpty, but your our numpty, and sadly we love ya!
How ever! I think an appropriate avatar should be added!



30 Aug 2016 22:35:18
Agree with Flackie. If you're a larger-than-life bloke that matches your larger-than-life stories and predictions, then add a humpty numpty avatar ;) . Stick with us mate - bizarre entertainment is hard to come by nowadays.



30 Aug 2016 16:24:05
a bit more business I'd like to see.

LB Rico henry. would not cost a lot and would provide comp for amavi.

CB Joe gomez loan. just coming back from injury but would be a good option off bench and adds cover.

and an attack minded creative player or 2.



{Ed001's Note - Gomez has been promised first team football this season. Sakho is the one Liverpool are trying to offload.}

30 Aug 2016 16:41:10
I'd take him on loan but don't think he would come would he Ed? he has already turned down a loan to Sunderland if I'm correct.



{Ed001's Note - Liverpool rejected the offer initially, hoping for something better. They just want rid but want his wages gone too. It is probably unlikely he would want to drop a division, but he might not end up with much choice. He is persona non grata at Liverpool after the preseason.}

30 Aug 2016 16:47:49
Rico Henry in talks with Brentford.



30 Aug 2016 16:52:30
I know but I'm sure if we went in he would come to us.



30 Aug 2016 17:05:44
Better be quick then lol.



30 Aug 2016 16:16:24
Thats a great signing kodje he is rapid an good in the air . think we are signing another striker herd jordon awey off.



30 Aug 2016 16:11:02
Happy to see Jonathan sign but 15 mill! Maybe 5 just hope he can stay on side and bang these goals in.



30 Aug 2016 16:15:33
As predicted, ayew and his agent are bags packed, waiting by the exit door. but there again, if we get the 11 million for him, that means kodija is costing us only 4 million, and so we can try and nab or loan a minimum of a midfielder, striker and maybe another defender.



30 Aug 2016 16:32:26
I still don't think Ayew will be leaving mate, his agent will want it to happen for his fee so will be pushing him, however he hasn't looked good in early games and who has bid for him!? He will be staying
there is no clause so his agent will have to sit tight for his Β£1million fee! Parasite.



30 Aug 2016 19:44:27
I see you know his agents middle name then!, it seems marseilles and hull are in the mood to spirit away our little 'livewire', and 11 million has been quoted, fingers crossed it could happen, or worst case, a loan deal just to get that little so and so away from us, because make no mistake, he's a high maintenance (drama queen) type of player, so hopefully out the door, jog on mode for him.



30 Aug 2016 22:59:20
I would like to see him gone too but I doubt very much anyone has bid Β£11million for a player who is unproven in both leagues! Hull were interested in Kodzilla then Suddenly they bid that much for Ayew who hasn't scored half of what he has!? Na its purely Lazy journalism and absolute rubbish paper talk, his agent is at the heart of it to wind the whole thing up. Staying at Villa.



30 Aug 2016 15:26:02
I think our chairman is the real deal i worried at first but not now . just think of the players we could get if we were in prem.



30 Aug 2016 16:35:04
I have never been in any doubt as I'm sure others on here will know. put his money where is mouth is.



30 Aug 2016 15:14:57
I think Kodjia is a good signing! He scored 20 goals last season, regardless of the price we have to get behind him! Heard he is offside a lot but that's something we have to deal with! Him, Gestede and McCormack are 3 quality strikers at this level!



30 Aug 2016 15:32:29
Only problem with what we have is that it is African nations Cup again later in season.

ATM we could lose Ayew Kodjia and Gestede leaving us with?

I think someone else in and possibly someone leaving personally.



30 Aug 2016 16:25:27
I agree, I think Ayew will leave! We still have Kozak who scored a hat trick yesterday!



30 Aug 2016 23:02:19
Kozak scored 3 at a lower mebel let's face it! he's way off the pace for first team and i wouldn't gang any hats on him, average at his very best i'm affraid.



30 Aug 2016 15:07:48
Great, so we've signed this Kodjia. never heard of him. and McCormck isn't exactly looking like a lethal striker is he? Just like last season we can't score goals.



30 Aug 2016 15:21:57
Maybe you have been smoking something?

It's early in the season . Let the team gel and then come November start moaning if they are not performing . Because you have just spoken a complete load of tosh.



30 Aug 2016 15:35:48
Jesus you need to go look up players we are signing if he's owt like he was last season for Bristol city he will be leathel and he's quick also give McCormack time to settle in and find his feet he will bang em in too we arena new side playing together we need time to gel this strike force could be very leathel and whoever said xia wasn't the real deal eat your words he's splashing money around he is definitely the real deal people just couldn't give the man the time.



30 Aug 2016 15:45:41
McCormack has created the most chances in the championship this season! He's game is more than scoring goals.



30 Aug 2016 17:42:20
Any striker needs service if you're getting that you've got a better chance to score goals.



30 Aug 2016 13:59:13
Does anyone know if we are signing a gk because ours is πŸ’© we need a proven gk green schwartzer pantilmilion speroni even given bck.



30 Aug 2016 14:37:47
1000 percent agree, 3 strikes and your out, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield and bristols first goal were all a shambles. We need a keeper.



30 Aug 2016 13:08:17
Cissohko out for some time, Bennet, Richards, Okore, & Lescott gone, our defence looks a bit light . Three ch, one lb, not enough for the season . Everybody that obsessed with strikers, what about the defence . Even our U21 defenders have been loaned out . So come on Dr T defenders, defenders, that's what's needed, new striker as well though . Onwards and Upwards Villa forever.



30 Aug 2016 13:45:25
Its going to be a busy couple of days

For me we need another left back as cissokho is out and Amarvi just back from injury

We need a striker and central midfielder also

Kodjia looks like he will be coming

Would love Ravel Morrison and also Will Hughes

Left back would bring in Rico Henry from Walsall.



30 Aug 2016 15:16:02
Kodgia signed. Does this mean Rudy is leaving?

Would still like to bring in Wells and sell Ayew good switch IMO.

Would love Bradley Dack from Gillingham in MF player with lots of upside and goals.

Would like to give Morrison a chances but he is an enigma same as Balotelli N'Zogbia and any other sulkers u could mention but if u can get them playing then wow.

I would like Rico Henry but he has an injury which will keep him out for some time which is one of the reasons they have loaned Toner.



30 Aug 2016 16:19:42
Henry in talks with Brentford over permanent move.



30 Aug 2016 22:06:46
Cant believe hernandez couldn't agree personal terms every1 knows villa pay stupid wages. Lucky escape if he don't want to play for us then go elsewhere for the money.



30 Aug 2016 11:00:01
Doubt it would happen but would anybody take a pop at getting Wilshere on loan? Apparently he's been made available for the season to get regular football.



30 Aug 2016 11:10:47
He would be perfect.



30 Aug 2016 11:23:19
Just the challenge of keeping him fit for any team that gets him.



30 Aug 2016 11:46:27
I'd move heaven and earth to get him

UTV.



30 Aug 2016 11:50:41
Love to have him.
A full year of guarantee footy if he fit. But I think he end up at Everton.



30 Aug 2016 12:36:33
I can't believe anyone could think this even remotely possible.



30 Aug 2016 13:27:50
Anything is possible Charlie. - Grandpa Joe.



30 Aug 2016 10:44:01
I know its a long shot i think we should sign bolatelli on loan but sign another striker aswell kodje or hernandez or asmomblonga. there's nothing to loose its worth a punt.



30 Aug 2016 12:32:13
why would any one of sound mind want Ballotelli - he has a worse attitude than flabby gabby - not for me thankyou.



30 Aug 2016 16:53:07
I really cannot believe people still bring up Balotelli as a viable option

Look at the effect he has had on some very good managers :
Mourinho: couldn't wait to get rid
Mancini: couldn't wait to get rid
Klopp : can't wait to get rid
Clearly the penny has not dropped with Balotelli but I thought it had with most supporters.



30 Aug 2016 07:40:33
Come on dr Tony pull out all the stops now we need a CB cm cf.
