Looking more and more likely we get Jackson from Chelsea, talk of £47m plus add ons. Hopefully we don’t get issues with UEFA. He wouldn’t be my ideal choice but not a lot out there for what we have to spend.

Looks like we’ve missed out on Ordonez.
If true that is a major blow.
FFS!
26 Aug 2026 18:46:29
They obviously don't have a clue how they are being manipulated in the transfer market this window! Shhh!
26 Aug 2026 19:21:01
Can we all relax, please? 99% of the players we're linked with (key word is 'linked') are probably BS newspaper click bait.

Missing out on Ordonez would be a big loss, in my view. Can't say I'm overly impressed by us being linked with 2 centre-backs from relegated clubs. Whilst we can't necessarily shop at Harrods, we should be able to do better than Poundland. 🤔
26 Aug 2026 20:23:59
I completely agree, my lord.
26 Aug 2026 16:01:15
Can’t say how I know, but Watkins is 100% going to Saudi. 👍🏻

They reckon they weren't happy with his injury. Chelsea on the fiddle again, sold Kellerman for £5 m to their own team in Salzburg, very corrupt but very clever. UTV.
26 Aug 2026 13:42:26.
Southampton have agreed a deal to sign a centre back from Augsburg. Does this mean that Harwood-Bellis is leaving?
Would we be looking at him as well as Ordonez or instead of?
Still waiting for Goretzka announcement, which I assume is imminent.
What of the attacking options we're apparently looking at, nothing concrete yet?
Watkins hasn't left the building yet has he?
26 Aug 2026 18:13:02
Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head, 74. Ordonez is off to Palace. The only thing I'd say is Ordonez is currently injured, so it would be 4-5 weeks before he's even fit again.
I don't know. What a transfer window this has been, and not in a great way so far.

What's happened to the ex Bayern midfielder who is red supposed to be signing. It's all gone quiet.
25 Aug 2026 13:53:47
Passed his medical at 13:00, apparently, so should sign today or tomorrow.
25 Aug 2026 13:58:30
Medical passed. Announced later today.
3 or 4 possible on the way. 🤞🏼
25 Aug 2026 14:05:40
Hi 59, I hope so.
I believe in Emery to kick-start our season, but not until after the Arsenal game. I think the team will need to gel under the boss, and then, hopefully, do like last season but with a younger squad.

What's happened to the ex Bayern midfielder we were meant to be signing. It's all gone quiet in that one.
25 Aug 2026 17:03:59
Medical today, and just waiting announcement apparently.

Just seen on Rasta Lion Facebook, reckons Ollie stopping. Supposedly in today apologised to rest to rest of players, had meeting with Emery and trained with Tramzambi. Hope in a way it’s true, a lot of explaining to do, but would solve a lot of problems UTV.
25 Aug 2026 13:00:24
With Villa once again being linked with Mattetta, the Ollie thing looks like a load of rubbish.
Any comment on Villa on Sky today is all about Emery leaving, wouldn't Sky just love that UTV.
25 Aug 2026 17:12:15
I hope it's not true. I think Emery is probably thinking I will show those Wan***s just how good a manager I am by rebuilding a better side.
He has done exactly that at previous clubs, and I wouldn't bet against him.
My worry is that the owners might just get fed up at not being able to invest in success that they sell up.
24 Aug 2026 16:24:16
Talk of Alejandro Balde to Aston Villa. What do you guys think?
24 Aug 2026 19:53:01
We have 2 left backs already, unless Ruggerri has been bought to play left centre half? And they want £50M for him.
UTV.
25 Aug 2026 12:14:05
Do we really have two? Maatsen is such a disappointment!

Watkins' reputation up in flames. Saudi oil making the world burn. Enjoying barbecues we are.

Thought barbecues were banned... 🤔 👮🏻♀️

Hi Allstar, I really liked Watkins and always stood by him even when he missed sitters. I now want him out of the door, you don't s*** on your team mates, manager, and especially supporters, when they are up against it.
Let him take the Saudi pennies and play against rich has beens.
23 Aug 2026 20:00:03
We are after Joel Ordonez of Bruge Ecudoarian defender and Jackson if we get rid of Watkins for 45 million.
24 Aug 2026 07:11:02
We need a top notch defender to replace Konsa... not someone from Southampton. Someone with excellent experience, and who is always reliable. In addition, maybe someone Emery can build on and improve over the next few years as backup.
We also need to bring in a top notch striker who will score many goals and doesn't have phases where nothing is working (Watkins had such no-goal phases, where he looked like a confused opossum).
Would be wonderful if AV finally had a really good striker!
23 Aug 2026 14:36:40
I can see Emery walking before the end of the transfer window. Who could blame him?
23 Aug 2026 15:44:28
If Emery was going, he would have gone before now. With the upheaval we have suffered, this was always going to be a difficult season. We need 3-4 in before the window closes, and give Emery time to work his magic on the training ground. Ok, so we get hammered today. It's one game, it's not the end of the world.
24 Aug 2026 00:52:21
Getting beaten 4-0 was bad, but I'm so disappointed with Watkins, I don't even care about the result. End of an era for one of my favourite Villa players in my years of supporting. Could have left with an awesome legacy. Actually, hope Saudi don't raise their bid and he rots on the bench till January.

Remember my post a few weeks back about Emi to Spuds? …. 😉
