Aston Villa Rumours

01 Feb 2026 15:34:36
Rumour from guys I meet before the game were saying that Emery will wait to see if we're in CL before deciding on next move.
Sort of makes sense and the rumour about Madrid seems to be very much part of his decision.

Funnily enough Trinity I’ve heard much the same thing. Apparently whatever we achieve be it qualification for CL winning the Europa League we are still going to be in difficulty financially and dependent on our level of success we will have to sell 2 maybe 3 current first teamers. In terms of incomings we will look at free transfers and players from abroad as the salary demands aren’t as great as established PL players. I was told we have offered contracts to 2 Bundesliga players and 1 La Liga who are free in the summer no names were mentioned and apparently the players concerned are keeping options open before committing to anyone.

As a consequence Emery is frustrated however the board have drawn up a list of potential replacements should Unai leave. I accept this is purely speculation and obviously time will tell whether any of this is accurate or not but you could understand if what was shared contains a grain of truth.

Apparently Real Madrid have spoken to Emery's agent about taking over come the summer!. Hope this isn't true I would rather we lose Rogers than Emery.

29 Jan 2026 15:34:57
Yes, read that earlier. It shouldn't be a surprise that he's linked to top jobs in Europe as he's one of the best in Europe.
Be gutted if he left. Fingers crossed it comes to nothing and is idle media gossip.
One thing is for sure, he wouldn't have PSR concerns there.

It’s been said about Emery that he struggled at PSG because of the egos of the big players, would be the same at Real because it pretty much sounded like the players bombed the Lat guy out 🤷🏼‍♂️

If EMI is to go and if fee of £40m is to be believed then I would take it and sign Trafford from city. Good young keeper maybe a risk now but will be excellent keeper in future

26 Jan 2026 16:51:20
No chance of 40 million we won’t even get 20 he’s 33, personally I don’t think he’s worth selling, we won’t get anywhere near his quality for the money we get for him

26 Jan 2026 23:29:38
We don’t need a keeper ‘for the future’ we need one that will equal Emi’s current performances so we continue to compete for the league and inEurope 😡

27 Jan 2026 06:59:58
I like Trafford, but if Emi was to go (in the summer) I’d go with Henderson of Palace, but they’re saying the Porto/Portugal keeper is the 1 that Emery wants

Costa would be my choice aswel.

I prefer Starbucks.

I understand we have a ten million surplus from the Malen/ Tammy deal, taking in to account the younger kid.Wonder if we are lining up a big money signing and every penny counts, we will certainly know pretty soon🤞🤞🤞

24 Jan 2026 15:32:56
There's not a 10m surplus at all. 21m euros and Ozcan. Cash wise its about 3m if we're lucky.

24 Jan 2026 17:06:01
There are some loopholes around signing youth players so it’s possible that although we didn’t make cash profit on him it could contribute more than the 3 million towards psr.

24 Jan 2026 17:15:04
Dave I think that Sky getting it wrong again, they reported we go something stupid like 30 m Euros for the kid . UTV

Ruben Loftus-Cheek?
Didn't even know he was still playing.

21 Jan 2026 13:25:25
I liked him at Chelsea however he is a tad injury prone if memory serves me right

21 Jan 2026 22:01:42
Can’t say he would excite me, just another in the sancho category

22 Jan 2026 08:16:06
Have to say Whack I agree with you.

22 Jan 2026 11:30:47
At the moment we need bodies in the door and unfortunately bodies that are relatively cheap and I don’t think players that excite you come cheap. An ex England international for £15-20 million isn’t a bad deal in my view, as I said before my only concern would be fitness

22 Jan 2026 13:53:24
Agree LotM. January notoriously bad for value.

22 Jan 2026 14:03:16
The transfer fee seems ok but he would want big money, I’d rather raid the championship for an up and coming talent like we did with Roger’s, obviously Roger’s was an absolute gem and they don’t all work out like that but the risk is similar to Stirling and you won’t have to pay astronomical wages.

Liverpool certainly don’t seem likely to take Elliot back and supposedly he doesn’t want to go to the mls.

22 Jan 2026 15:05:47
With Elliott I think he has only played for us 3 times so we can play him a further 6 times without triggering the obligation to buy. He can play anywhere across the frontline, surely we could make use of him particularly tonight as Onana, Kamara, and McGinn are all out I am really surprised Emery hasn’t been able to utilise him because in my view he’s a good player.

22 Jan 2026 16:55:19
100% agree I find it weird he hasn’t squeezed a few more games out of him, I think he’s trying to send a message to Liverpool that we won’t be buying him and that’s that, maybe trying to force them into renegotiating but I genuinely think he’s doesn’t want him at any price let alone 35 million

22 Jan 2026 17:21:22
Having seen the teams I worry about tonight, particularly the Duran/Asensio link

22 Jan 2026 17:40:25
The problem with playing Elliott for even one more game is that we're basically telling Liverpool we do want/need him and they'll hold out hoping to get the £35m.
I personally don't rate him above bench cover, most of his Liverpool cameos have been either basic keep ball when winning or 'pass it to Salah'.

He made a difference for England U21s but so many players in the past have looked great at that level and not gone on to do much.
