Aston Villa Rumours

30 Aug 2021 13:01:10
If both Villa and Liverpool are looking at Damsgaard, sadly I think the likely sequence of events may be Damsgaard to Liverpool and Curtis Jones to us 😢.

30 Aug 2021 13:46:06
I have seen reports that Villa are not in for Curtis Jones - it is purely a case of SUN speak.

Hourihane seems close a loan move to Sheff. Utd, whilst Guilbert could be on his way to Fulham or a few options in France. This might make room for one more newie?

30 Aug 2021 14:37:32
Van De Beek it is then since he's not wanted at United.

30 Aug 2021 21:36:09
Villa will not sign anyone else, as I said before Its possible that the owners want to see Smith prove himself before investing further. If it's a positive first half to the season they will look at making funds available for January window 22.

Bailey due to play, according to his Dad.

28 Aug 2021 10:20:56
Don't know how I feel about that.
We all know what's going to happen.

Dad says I can play football
He'll then get called in for tea.
Takes his ball home with him
Screws it up for the rest of us.

Are the Winston Mckenzie rumours true.

27 Aug 2021 13:58:28
Raj, keep on throwing names into the mix. You might get one right eventually. 😂.

27 Aug 2021 16:20:29
Is Raj Kingy in disguise?
He Normally pops up about now.

To answer your question, if it's reported in the Birmingham mail OR has any former Villa player making a comment it's probably 99% untrue.

If multiple sources and quotes from agents - then it's probably 75% untrue.

Villa have been doing deals closed doors, so until it's announced its untrue.

Anyone heard of Abdou harroui. Centre mid from Sparta Rotterdam. Reports saying club have accepted an offer from unknown club but it's being reported it's us.

{Ed002's Note - My notes say:

Abdou Harroui (CM/DM/RW) Due to his versatility, seen at one time by Brighton as a Bissouma replacement and his agent has noted enquiries from Anderlecht, Nottingham Forest, Rangers, Leeds and Twente - but it is difficult to see how the Sparta Rotterdam player would get a Work Permit without an exemption or a club paying over the odds to be able to play in England. Generally used in CM or as a RW. Nottingham Forest had said that if they can sign him they will seek an exemption.}

He chosen a relegation battle with Forest.

So Southampton are said to want 50 million for JWP. Should we push the boat out then and smash our transfer record once again?
My feeling is we should go for it but sell one or two players to help finance the deal.
What are your views lads?

18 Aug 2021 16:04:19
Yes I have to agree Mark, no use pussyfooting about mate, and complaining later in the season.
Get it done, why look at him in the first place, we knew what he would cost.

18 Aug 2021 18:34:09
Agree with you both

Try and get some money for hourihane, nakamba, even el ghazi

That might give us 20 million towards it.

18 Aug 2021 18:45:59
Not for me guys not only is it too much but if we have only one big money move then I don’t think JWP is the enforcer type we need for me I would be asking Brighton about Bissouma.

18 Aug 2021 19:00:18
So would I John in the ideal world, but as it stands we have shown no interest in him at all mate.

18 Aug 2021 21:12:21
Not that we know of Dave I agree, but then again we hadn’t heard anything about Ings before it happened.

18 Aug 2021 21:27:55
True mate, I just want a decent DM, that is the position that would transform Villa in my opinion mate.

18 Aug 2021 21:52:39
Totally agree.

19 Aug 2021 11:36:10
Agree Dave, it’s like the final piece of the puzzle. First year in the championship we were a mess all over the park, yet we had Jedinak, can’t remember the star but it’s either we didn’t win a game without him playing, or we didn’t lose any game in which he started. Either way it highlights just how influential that role is and how even when the rest of the sides a mess, that position can be the difference!

The problem with most of the speculation here is that we have to find buyers for our players and in the market at the minute there’s very few clubs prepared to spend what clubs want or what players are worth, everyone wants a deal. Usually one of the relegated clubs will pay up for four or five players but that doesn’t seem to have happened.

On here we all know despite his record last season, El Ghazi is so hit and miss that if you want to achieve something he isn’t your man, the problem is if we know that 99% of clubs happy to pay for him will work it out before a deals done, (unless of course Tony Xia is back in club ownership😂) .

He's involved in a club alright Chris but it involves someone called Bubba, a shower and a bar of soap.

19 Aug 2021 13:55:05
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear😂.

19 Aug 2021 19:47:24
In all fairness I don't think it would take the full £50m I think they'd find it very hard to turn down 40, but a lot of it would depend on how much JWP wants the move. More often than not these days a player gets what they want regardless of a clubs valuation.

Nevermind just seen the news about his contract - forget everything I said lol.
