I hope the ink is dry on Digne's contract at PSG 🙈
14 Jul 2026 22:55:44
Had a stinker tonight. Thought the penalty was harsh, to be fair, but he was really found out for pace tonight.
14 Jul 2026 20:58:50
Digne gone? No, he gives a penalty away on the semi final. Ha ha ha
14 Jul 2026 15:50:56
Sounds like Visit Rwanda is going to be front of shirt sponsor, I think sleeve sponsor would have been OK but on the front! I think it's going to look awful and they will get loads of flak from people talking about humanitarian atrocities.
14 Jul 2026 17:04:05
Who cares. I say it's their problem, not Villa's.
14 Jul 2026 17:09:50
If it's a decent amount, we get who cares. Other teams will be getting way dodgier sponsors now betting firms are off the table. At least we didn't get Visit Iran lol.
{Ed001's Note - Iran isn't committing a genocide anywhere. Maybe you meant Israel?}

One player I would like to replace Digne is Adrien Truffert from Bournemouth 24 years old and on 35 grand a week there could we get a deal done for 25 million? I'd like to think so but time will tell.
13 Jul 2026 23:21:53
I've been impressed with Truffert to be fair, good call.
13 Jul 2026 23:45:54
Or Robinson from Fulham.
14 Jul 2026 05:31:11
Personally, I think Robinson is the best all round left back in the Prem.

14 Jul 2026 09:23:53
Robinson is pony.
13 Jul 2026 21:15:40
Who gonna replace YT then, boys.
I'll throw a few names: Mika Godzts, Gonchalves, Kone from Roma, Bouaddi, Barrela from Inter,
Derkerteler from Atalanta.
13 Jul 2026 22:03:28
I think Manzambi is his replacement. Some of those players you’ve listed are mostly forwards/wingers, & wouldn’t say no to any of them tbh. I think we’re gonna have to accept (maybe not the right word to use) that we’re not gonna find a like for like replacement for YT, but if Manzambi plays there it’ll be different, but that’s not a bad thing.
He’s a more dynamic player, maybe build ups will move faster, less sideways & backwards passing, it’s been effective but things move on. 🤷🏼♂️
UTV.
13 Jul 2026 22:16:48
Yes, YT was a good player, but he's replaceable, same with Digne and Rodgers.
It's sjm, Konsa, Bouba, Watkins that are the jewels in my opinion; every1 else for the right price can be sold. We knew, A72, that we needed to bring age of squad dwn and needed a rebuild, mate. We have to trust the manager.
13 Jul 2026 19:26:26
Tielemans let his contract run down at Leicester and went for a free. Villa saw same thing happening and decided to cash in now. Good business in my opinion. He will be a big miss but as stated on here he does miss a lot of games through injury and his scoring stats are not the best.
All in all I think we have made the correct decision.
13 Jul 2026 21:11:24
Same aswell, shew he will be replaced, owners trust Unai, plus age of the squad is coming dwn, and seems like we are rebuilding the squad again. All good managers rebuild teams and squads. nxt few weeks will be interesting for Villa, plus also frobt sponsor could be announced aswell and arm sponsor.
13 Jul 2026 23:20:33
We didn't decide anything. United met his release clause, there was nothing we could do to stop it, only he could choose. I'm raging it's United, to be honest. He will be brilliant with Bruno.
I see people complaining about his release clause being so low. In truth, it probably reduced each year of his contract.
He was also a free agent, so he held the aces in the negotiations. Hard to see him go; he's the engine in our midfield. We improved when McGinn came back, but we weren't back properly until Youri came back and got back to match fit. We need a strong signing in the center to fill that void. Gussand plus cash for Wharton, anyone?
14 Jul 2026 08:32:58
I'd like to see us get Kone from Roma or Zaire Emery from PSG.
13 Jul 2026 18:03:29
My lad just shown me a post off a very upset Villa fan. For his Birthday his wife brought him two shirts, one a Belgian shirt with Tielemans on, and a French one with Digna HaHa. Non to happy, he believes she’s put the voodoo on us, don’t know if she kept the receipts HaHa. UTV

13 Jul 2026 20:36:18
Can we get word to her to buy him one with Bailey on it? 😂😂
13 Jul 2026 23:25:00
All the names bandied about that are potentially on the move, don't hear anything about Bailey. 😞
13 Jul 2026 17:40:45
Interesting stat, in 3 years, Tielemans has missed 36 competitive games which is almost one whole season and we’ve still qualified for Europe 3 consecutive seasons.
2 ways of using this stat obviously but one season in 3 is still a lot.
13 Jul 2026 17:37:43
Just a thought… wouldn’t Curtis Jones from L’pool be a good replacement for Youri for roughly the same price that we got for him? He’s on £50K pw at L’pool & if we doubled that it’d still be half what Youri would’ve wanted to sign a new deal? Prem ready & I think he’d shine at Villa.
UTV.
13 Jul 2026 23:01:17
Liverpool want 55mil not for a72, but wouldn't Eliot back though, or Kone or Soule from Roma, or even Zaire Emery from PSG, he doesn't get a lot of game time there.
13 Jul 2026 16:48:27
Interesting Fact:
Youri Tielemans missed 36 Competitive Matches in his 3 seasons at Villa, That's the equivalent of almost one whole season.
13 Jul 2026 15:48:01
Check out a No. 9 called Jose ‘Flaco’ Lopez, plays in the Brazilian league, banging them in, he’s in the Argentina World Cup squad, valued at around £25M.

13 Jul 2026 14:17:29
I simply can't believe Tielemans is on his way out, he will be missed. Appears it's his choice and has a release clause, obviously doubling his money. £30+ million transfer fee. How on earth did Villa agree such a low fee? Obviously his agent did a clever job when he signed for us.
We aren't going to be able to get anything of his quality for that figure. Really disappointing.
13 Jul 2026 15:18:44
Dave, I was just going to do the same post. You can understand wanting the %100 profit, but can't believe the low price. Another reason, I suppose, is cutting the wage bill. Digna is a top earner. Will hate seeing Tielemans in a Man U shirt. Will hate it even more, seeing Rogers in an Arsenal one. Certainly don't agree with helping top 6 sides. UTV.
13 Jul 2026 15:36:16
He is definitely going to be missed. His range of passing and his ability to pick a pass is second to none, and he will definitely be incredibly difficult to replace. That said, however, I understand we tried to renegotiate his contract last close season, but despite improving terms, he didn't respond to the offer. If you cast your minds back to his Leicester days, they tried desperately to keep him, but he let his contract run down so that he could leave on a free.
If we felt we were running a similar risk, then it would be better to let him go now, even if the fee is slightly less than his market worth. The one positive aspect to all this is that, if Tielemans and Digne go, and you add Dobbin and Barrenchea, we will save in excess of £325,000 on the weekly wage bill. That should put to bed any SCR issues in the short term, at least.
13 Jul 2026 16:44:08
We got Youri for nothing. Had we paid a fee to Leicester, say 30 million, I'm sure the clause in his contract would have been a lot higher.
13 Jul 2026 17:32:43
Before he came to Villa, he wasn't at his best. Unai got him back to his best. Not sure he will do as well at ManU.
