Aston Villa Rumours

25 Jul 2021 13:38:52
Looks like the Cantwell rumours are b####### Stuart Webber who I think is Norwich's CEO has said they don't want to sell so close to the new season, but they would consider a bid if it was a club record fee. I can't see us paying £30 million plus for a player who only has 12 months left on their contract.

25 Jul 2021 14:49:46
Yep agree mate, they have said he will cost us more than Buendia, 35+ is the starting point, move on and look elsewhere I say.
If he is unsettled and wants a move, his head will turn, and so will his performances.

25 Jul 2021 18:37:43
If I’m being honest I’d be underwhelmed if we did sign him. I trust our recruitment and management team, their record speaks for itself. 90% of transfers in recent years have been successes to varying levels, but I’ve never watched Cantwell and thought he was a player ready to go up a level, he gets over hyped because he’s English, I’m guessing but I’m sure El Ghazis last season trumps Cantwells in his prem season.

23 Jul 2021 20:19:53
I see Everton and Palace are supposed to, be interested in Marvelous Nakamba.
11m mentioned, wonder who dug this one up.

23 Jul 2021 21:46:56
Yes I read that story to Dave, apparently Marvelous is high on Benitez and Viera’s wish list, it will be interesting to see if either club follow up the interest with a bid. I know a lot on here like Nakamba but for me if the offer was more than we paid then I would let him go but I think I am in the minority in holding that view.

23 Jul 2021 23:06:53
Yeah I like him John, but I am a bit like you, in respect of every player has a price, I have always had that belief.
As with Jack, three players of the quality we are looking at, ie Bailey, Cantwell and Alverez for the price of Jack, could only be good for the club.
Although it would be nice to keep him, Villa come before any player, that should never be forgotten.

23 Jul 2021 21:38:14
I saw it too. If we had signed Papa Mata Sarr it might be believable. But we didn't. As it stands we don't need to sell, do we? Can't see him going even for twice that.

24 Jul 2021 10:11:00
Agree that every player has a price. I wouldn’t entertain offers under 20 million for Marvelous, and adding just 10 million to that could get us a significant upgrade in Sander Berge.

24 Jul 2021 12:17:40
Yes Mark, agree 20m+ for me.
Berge would be a real good signing for us I feel, but things have gone very quiet on him, I am wondering if his injury history, is putting question marks over his suitability.

24 Jul 2021 13:55:22
Yes Dave, 30 million + for Berge would be a bit of a risk if there are injury issues. I like Romeu also, but I’m sure Southampton would be very reluctant to part with him.
He’s 29 but the way young Lamare Bogarde is progressing, that might not prove to be a problem. Not sure if Bissouma is Liverpool bound or not, but he really is top drawer and would be a massive upgrade.
I would be happy enough if Marvelous stays though, as I thought he did an excellent job at times and I think he could improve as a player.

24 Jul 2021 14:39:07
Bissouma is a good shout mate, although defensive Mid is not his preferred position, where as it is Berges natural and preferred spot.

24 Jul 2021 14:47:00
£20 million for Nakamba would be Marvelous 🤣🤣. I like Bissouma to but I think he he will be looking at a team that has qualified for Europe tbh. It wouldn’t surprise me if Utd lose Pogba they move for him I think he is the best defensive midfielder in the league, but I think he will cost big big money particularly as Brighton will have lost Ben White they won’t be under excessive pressure to sell.

22 Jul 2021 18:18:48
John Percy has reported that Stoke City want to take Keinan Davis on loan for the season and that talks are in progress. I think this would be a good move for Keinan as it it should give him regular first team football which hopefully would build his confidence, particularly in front of goal. Best of luck to Keinan if this loan happens for him.

22 Jul 2021 19:09:48
More than 7 sides have enquired to take him on Lon in the championship, Villa aren’t rushing into anything but more than likely he’ll be sent out on loan.

22 Jul 2021 19:30:58
Any idea who the other teams are Chris?

22 Jul 2021 22:59:45
Don’t know all the clubs Mark but I believe Huddersfield, QPR, Preston and Swansea are in the mix.

23 Jul 2021 08:47:50
Villajohn Derby and the Baggies are also looking at Davis as well.

24 Jul 2021 21:44:06
I know a lot of fans have a soft spot for Keinan. Good hold up play, strong physical presence etc.

Call me Mr Meanie, but I can’t really see what the future holds for him at Villa. Yes, a loan might raise his profile and maybe his price, but I just don’t see him breaking in to the first eleven. If Alvarez comes along or maybe Bailey, his ranking is likely to diminish further. In the long run, he may best served finding his feet in the Championship and moving on from there.

18 Jul 2021 15:50:46
Looks like we are chasing Caleb Chukwuemeka from Northampton Town, he is a forward.
He is also the older Brother 19yrs of our very own Carney Chukwuemeka.
They have said No.
How very dare they.

18 Jul 2021 16:04:35
Said we can’t have him Dave, I reckon they’re taking Coblers mate 😁.

18 Jul 2021 16:12:44
We must unite the chuckle brothers.

18 Jul 2021 16:43:30
Chucky 1 and 2, very scary 😱.

18 Jul 2021 17:34:12
My wife said NO 😂.

19 Jul 2021 20:20:08
Heaven help the commentators.
I can't even say his surname properly so in the middle of a game will it be Chuky 1 and Chuky 2?

20 Jul 2021 13:31:02
I has to be Oldvillan 👍
Its good to hear from you, are you and your wife OK mate.

15 Jul 2021 18:05:57
Apparently we have enquired after Danjuma at Bournemouth, no bid just registered an interest. I know his numbers looked quite impressive last season however when I watched games in which he was playing for me he flattered to deceive a little bit, and certainly when compared to Buendia he was definitely second best, personally I think we can do better.

15 Jul 2021 23:23:39
I guess the question is, is he better than El Ghazi, if the answer is yes then he automatically improves our squad and left wing is perma-reseverved for our Captain anyway so not a priority area. I'd be surprised if there is any truth in this rumour, surely not a priority area?

16 Jul 2021 16:18:06
Focus seems to have swayed toward the left flank.

Noticed many reporting sites have discovered the Grealish ‘secret release clause’, well possibly. Wasn’t very secret then?

16 Jul 2021 18:58:13
There isn’t a release clause mate😂.

16 Jul 2021 21:11:07
Wasnt it confirmed by the club that there is no release clause lads? To be honest I'm sick of the whole situation now, it needs to be resolved one way or another soon as we need to prepare for next season. If Jack is going (which I don't feel is the case) then we need bodies in the door ASAP, the question is who?

16 Jul 2021 23:14:45
There’s no resolution to it BK there will be speculation until the window closes and it’ll be back in January, just guys trying to sell headlines, the way I see it there’s no substance to it until they submit an offer so no point worrying about it, even if he signs a new deal it won’t guarantee him staying if you remember delph. it would be worse if we didn’t have players good enough for other clubs to want to buy at the end of the day.

17 Jul 2021 15:18:33
I think if he signs a new contract that puts it to bed until next summer Whack, perhaps naive but I feel a new contract will quell the rumours for 12 months but agree next summer will be the same old nonsense. It's great that we have players of the calibre but we are so reliant on Grealish it would be a massive blow to lose him this summer.

17 Jul 2021 18:07:47
Agree BK and you have to ask yourself, if Citeh have Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, why do they need another number ten who could struggle for game time against the other two.

18 Jul 2021 11:42:56
I think Southgate has done is a huge favour at the euros showing jack what it’s like to have competition for his place and not starting every game, also substituting him, he’s the first name on the team sheet at villa and always will be, he’s the main man he gets so much ball it will be very hard to give up all that. I also think he was much prouder when he lost 2 cup finals with villa than when he lost it with England, maybe it meant more to him having played more or just cause he’s villa born and bred.

18 Jul 2021 22:12:59
Villa owners do not want or need to sell Jack, and even if he wanted to leave against their wishes he is unlikely to want to force a move from the club he loves!? Also City will need to sell several players within the hext month or so to fund a purchase. It will not happen.
