Lots of talk about ins and outs and I've always been banging the drum for Jonathan David on a free, which is a no brainer for me. The other 1 being mentioned is Delap and his buy out clause of £30M. That's another no brainer for me because he's worth a hell of a lot more than that in today's market, you might disagree with me but I think he's the right mix of Harry Kane and someone like Chris Wood, both effective at what they do, I think he's going to be Englands No9 for quite a few years to come once Kane slows down. and let's not forget we have Malen around too, not been given a run of games yet but who know he could be 1 of the biggest bargains we've ever signed, he pretty much plays in the same positions as Rashford without t for half the price and a quarter of the wages ??♂️

A lot of sense in what you say Allstar, pick up David on a free, we could also go for Delap, let Watkins go and have money in the bank for other signings. I agree re giving Malen a decent run he looks dangerous whenever he comes on and it would enable us to assess whether Rashford’s replacement is potentially in house.

Just reading that 'apparently' we are looking at Maddison in the summer. Take it from me as I know some people connected to him, he HATES Villa, and if that's not reason enough then him seemingly being crocked for half a season most seasons is a reason for it being a big no from me

For some reason and I’m not sure why quite a few Coventry players dislike us remember Callum Wilson? as I say I’m not sure why but it is what it is. I can believe we are looking at Maddison though, as he would be significantly cheaper than Asensio when you take wages etc into account but I know which of the two I’d rather have and it ain’t Maddison
2.) 02 Mar 2025 08:40:41
It’s going to be the art of the deal that gets us Asensio. I’m under no illusion that Rashford will be at Villa next year, he’s put himself in the shop window, he’s performing well, the price is £40M, that will have so called bigger clubs here and abroad going for him. If Watkins goes to Arsenal for big money and we get David on a free then there’s a big chunk of money made. On the banter page Daz alluded to us having a substantially bigger shirt sponsor. Some fringe players will leave. Some surprise players will leave. I’m hoping too that common sense will prevail and something will be done about the terms of FFP/PSR as it is scandalous how stacked in favour of ‘certain clubs’ it affects us and even more so clubs like Newcastle, the only real competition it seems to me is who can get the best players cheap and flog them on, like Brighton excel at (used to be Southampton) just to keep above the stupid financial rules. Back to Asensio, kind of reminds me of when we got McGrath, he was on 10x the money the rest of the team, that didn’t upset the apple cart, just hope that todays squad would have the same attitude

It's refreshing to see that Spurs have agreed a deal with Chelsea for Disasi but he's insisting he wants to join Villa, if the reports are true, that'll give him a head start with the fans if he signs. Can't say I know much about him as a player but he seems the type that would become a cult hero ??♂️

I've heard that Duran is going to be getting £750K pw in Saudi, and like Mane he's going to be sending large chunks of it back to Columbia to help his hometown prosper, hospitals, schools etc. fair play to him if that's the case ??

Hearing Buendia is off on loan, not before signing a 1 year contract extension. I'm looking at it like this. maybe he's signed that as a thank you for him being out for (most of) last season, and pretty much knowing he's in the window for a permanent move come the summer and we'll get a better price for him, got to applaud him for that ?? also, don't you think it'd be wise to keep Barry around for the rest of the season if Buendia goes? When you think about it he'd be cover for the guy that covered (in Buendia) Rogers. It's less of a gamble than buying/loaning someone from Europe like the young Turkish and French forwards we've been looking at ??♂️

I’ve read he’s signed new contract until 2027.

The usual Jaoa Felix rumours are circulating again but what I found interesting was that his wages are £67K per week, he's on a 6 or 7 year contract but I'd of thought he'd be getting £200K+ per week ??♂️

I would of thought he was earning more Allstar, pretty reasonable in the current market but it hasn’t worked for him anywhere in the last few years so I’d see him as a huge risk, personally I don’t rate him in the slightest and I really hope we don’t go after him.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 11:37:49
I don’t think any of the players Chelsea have signed recently are on major wages besides palmer and a few others who have signed new deals since their first
. They’re rewarded for their performances it seems, which I guess also massively helps with their ffp.
3.) 22 Mar 2025 13:05:47
I don't think you can invest too much in someone not playing at Chelsea. Their ownership buy up players without regards to what their managers want for their team.
Disasi has shown in a short time with us that he's better than any of the defenders they actually play.
I know Chelsea fans who wonder why Felix isn't getting game time with how bad their other forwards have been lately.
He produces chances every time he plays and if we have to miss out on either Rashford or Asensio due to wages then we could do far worse than Felix in my opinion.
4.) 22 Mar 2025 13:36:34
That would be some front 4, a No9 and Felix, Rogers and Asensio swapping round the wing and No10 role, that’d be hard for an opposing coach to figure their tactics around ?

There's been a few rumours about Tammy coming or wanting to come to Villa in the summer, what do you guys think? If Ollie was to leave for around £50M, I'd be happy with Tammy, and a punt on that Turkish kid from Beskitas who's been likened to Aguero ??♂️

50mil for tammy no thanks watkins is way clear and there's better strikers than tammy around we need an upgrade on players not dwn grades, some1 like david, lookman, vlhoavic, delap

For the £50M Jonny I meant Tammy and the Turkish kid combined

So then fellas, win the FA Cup and get Europa League or qualify for CL by finishing top 4 (or 5) what's your choice?
UTV

Win fa cup and go again nxt season winning a trophy is important top4 is good for our clubs accounts, but as fans winning a cup is more important it stays with you forever that moment and bragging rights aswell with your mates
2.) 03 Mar 2025 18:13:00
FA cup.
3.) 03 Mar 2025 18:15:25
Good question Allstar for me I would take getting in CL again for financial purposes it makes so much sense as with this becomes higher profile sponsorship deals and higher quality players coming to us.But I get why some want us to win a cup as they have never seen us win one and as I've said many times on here good things come to those who wait.

Champions League. A cup is great but usually gets forgotten about soon enough, especially domestic cups which aren't taken overly seriously by anyone until the semi or final.
Regularly qualifying for Europe brings revenue and players that you wouldn't get otherwise which itself leads to competing for trophies more often.
I'd absolutely put a bet on a lot of people who say they'd be happy with just the cup then complaining when we're not challenging for honours again the next season.
Would you really want to be West Ham right now because you sacrificed it all for 1 trophy?
6.) 03 Mar 2025 21:18:50
Exactly that RK and great shout about West Ham also.Its about building the foundations for the future cups will come for that I am sure and I can tell you something when speaking to Ian Taylor out in Nice everybody at the club are right behind Unai and his team and believe he will get us trophies.

But Daz, you reckon we’re in the money next year with our new (un-named) shirt sponsor…? ?

Heard rumours last season, of a deal of all deals with Coca Cola, now that would be a beauty . If not shirt it could be ground renaming . UTV
9.) 04 Mar 2025 20:33:36
We don’t own the ground, renaming it won’t generate money towards our finances
10 Feb 2025 13:40:58
Just a thought. if most teams only have 1 up front or a No9, why do you need 2 recognised centre halves? A stopper and Kamara would work well against a solo striker, Kamara was great last night, can't remember a stray pass from him and defended well too, a very Danny Blind like performance ??♂️

Was saying this to a Utd fan, don’t know the exact figure but that’s what they roughly paid for Mount who was in the last year of his contract at Chelsea, and aside from that he was crap and as it turns out injured more often than not, Utd are a joke
UTV
03 Apr 2025 06:49:35
Guilty of this myself but the time to speculate about who we will won’t sign is pointless till we see where we are at the end of the season, but tying down Kamara to a new contract is the most important signing to be made above all others
