Been told that we're looking at Oscar Mingueza who we were after in January, can play centre half or right back, out of contract at Celta Vigo next summer

It’s amazing what you hear during the transfer window in terms of who we are looking at whose coming/going etc. I’ve been told that despite everything heard to the contrary Asensio will be a Villa player come the 1st of September but I think I’m going to take a leaf out of Whack’s book and I’ll believe it when/if it happens
2.) 09 Aug 2025 01:02:23
Assensio doesn’t make sense to me but I wouldn’t be overly surprised if it happened, we don’t see what Emery sees. who would you rather have back between Assensio luiz or grealish?
3.) 09 Aug 2025 07:04:49
I like all 3 as players but we have enough cover in terms of defensive midfield positions in my view so I don’t think Luiz would be a priority, and it’s a toss up between Grealish and Asensio but I would slightly favour the latter as I think he is more clinical in front of goal.

Jack for me 100% ~ bring him back!
5.) 12 Aug 2025 15:14:39
Jack signed for Everton on loan
30 Jul 2025 14:51:06
A few reports saying we're after Opienda from Leipzig, that'd be a statement signing and then some

Seen Samu aghehowa from Porto mentioned aswel, both would cost a bit, you would have to imagine if we were buying one of them that it means we’re going to lose Watkins
2.) 30 Jul 2025 20:29:36
I wonder if we sign either Openda or Aghehowa whether Watkins goes to Utd with Garnacho and a cash adjustment coming our way?
3.) 31 Jul 2025 02:35:31
It could well happen. I’d rather keep Watkins, if he had to be sold for next years balance then try keep him till at least January so we know his goals will be replaced. it would sicken me if he went to united

Been watching a few fans YouTube's about what they've made of our pre season so far and what formation we've been in, looking like it's 3 centre halves and wingbacks. So that says to me why are a few on here obsessed with wingers or buying wingers? Unless you're paying silly money, most wingers are 1 in 5 matches good/effective, always been that way, look to the past with Walter's, Daley etc. Only wingers from memory that have been week in week out good were Giggs when he started out, Damian Duff, Ovemars. For width we've got Maatsen on the left, Garcia could do it on the right though Dumfries would be the ideal

I think Emery is trying 3 at the back as an option so that in certain games we are ready to deploy that as a system or maybe even change to 3 at the back in tight games when we are ahead. I don’t think he will deploy it week in week out particularly as we seem to be targeting a right sided centre back, right back and winger allegedly.
2.) 24 Jul 2025 13:33:59
I think the back 3 is only because Konsa is away. I don't think he trusts anyone of the youngsters in a 2 and doesn't seem to want 2 with the same dominant foot either.
3.) 24 Jul 2025 22:36:50
Konsa, Mings and Torres would be our best back three, problem is, who have we got as cover .
4.) 25 Jul 2025 09:39:17
Ozcan and Canvot if we sign him, young and inexperienced I know but Pele was once too
UTV
23 Jul 2025 11:31:21
Interesting 1 going round, Mika Biareth of Monaco for a No9, banging them in in Ligue 1 ?
UTV
1.) 24 Jul 2025 02:50:59
Looks like huge potential, would take him all day, probably cost a bit though. we need some outgoings soon (fringe players) so we can reinvest.
13 Jul 2025 18:30:48
This is an intriguing 1. rumoured that we're looking at the Brazilian keeper John Victor of Botfogo, Utd looking at him as well, has a release cause of around £8M, looks decent on YouTube, so if we were to sell Emi for £30M+ and get Victor and the guy from Brest for roughly £10M, good business imo ?
UTV
1.) 15 Jul 2025 23:45:40
Yes, but Brest are in the French 2nd tier so why would Bizot be a replacement for Emi? I also suspect that one or two United rejects might be coming our way since apparently, following the Bizot signing, they have formally pitched in for Emi. Perhaps Onana is one of them? Plus they want Ollie so we could end up with Rashford (with his wages cut) and/or Garnacho ?
2.) 16 Jul 2025 05:28:55
Not even close to what I was saying Menace?

To be honest Allstar I don’t really want Martinez to go whilst I know we need to raise money I think other players are easier to replace, keepers with his abilities are rare. So for me at the risk of being somewhat controversial I would let Chelsea have Rogers for Jackson plus a cash adjustment in our favour. Similarly I would let Utd have Watkins for Garnacho plus another cash adjustment I’d then look to sign Asensio who I think would replace Rogers goals and assists and take Elliott and Luiz on loan with options to buy. I think as a squad we would be stronger we would have generated cash to address the PSR/SCR issues and reduce the average age of the squad.
4.) 19 Jul 2025 11:40:17
I honestly think Emi has peaked, it’s all downhill from for him from here so I’d cash in. I can see Rogers leaving and we will make a tidy profit on him. Just get this feeling we’re going to end up with Felix, if Unai can get him ticking then we wouldn’t miss Rogers. I’m not panicking yet, tbh I think all we need is a replacement for Carlos and Duran was never replaced, if we go with the squad we have now plus a centre half and No9 I’d be more than happy. Till the PSR crap goes then what’s the point? All we got to look forward to is trying to be the best of the rest meaning the best of the teams that PSR has been rigged to stop them competing ??♂️

Seeing us linked with Ortega of Citeh as a replacement for Emi, it's not bitterness but I actually think he's better than Emi, especially with the ball at his feet/distribution ??♂️

No Emi in the squad tonight. ?
UTV
1.) 31 Aug 2025 19:37:38
He’s gone for sure. couldn’t blame him the way we are playing.
Emery won’t be far behind him at this rate
25 Aug 2025 08:32:25
Not going to weigh in with we should do this, but him, sack Emery etc. I just use any previous season's results and compare them to this season's, so far we are minus 5 points

Just read that Bailey got injured in his 1st training session at Roma, out for 3 weeks ??♂️
UTV
1.) 20 Aug 2025 20:27:19
Read that too so glad we got shot of him apparently Dendonkey is about leave too good riddance to both of them
{Ed001's Note - Dendoncker signed elsewhere yesterday, I forget where but it went through yesterday.}
2.) 20 Aug 2025 20:36:41
Just going to post the exact same thing HaHa, poor Bailey not a very good start UTV
3.) 20 Aug 2025 22:04:25
Dave, my bet he's back sooner than expected ?
4.) 20 Aug 2025 22:20:40
I don’t personally want him but if Villa pull off getting Jackson on loan, reportedly on £100K per week and Baileys £120K+ gone, that’s good business, a bit of Monchi magic. There’s been talk that Jackson wants to come to Villa above anyone else because of Emery. That’s some firepower we’d have all across the forward line. I know the AFCON would affect that but still be very interesting if it came off

I'm sure you guys have probably been sent this already but (if I got it right) if we hadn't of qualified for Europe at all this season, we could spend more domestically to try and qualify for Europe/CL, make that make sense?

Tbh Dave, that explains why we didn’t turn up against Palace in the semi final, and against Utd ?
UTV
02 Sep 2025 19:14:24
He’s signed now so I’ll get behind him but a part of me was hoping that the Sancho deal fell through at the 11th hour so Utd would be stuck with his wages
UTV
31 Aug 2025 23:29:24
A pay rise and got every Thursday off for the rest of the season

31 Aug 2025 09:59:36
I’d go Lammers and Elliot
UTV
04 Sep 2025 11:19:45
Sancho should look at it like this (assuming we won’t buy him) how Rashford played slightly above average then ends up at Barcelona, he’s in the shop window, wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up in Saudi next season ??♂️

01 Sep 2025 14:48:52
I’m hearing Utd getting that Belgian keeper (Lammens? ) instead of Emi (???) and he could be off to Turkey
UTV
28 Aug 2025 09:48:45
If that’s who we get, our squad will improve so no brainer really. Not a long term plan but I think we need a season of resetting, think we can accept it for 1 season, at least give us some performances we can be proud of
UTV
26 Aug 2025 19:53:45
What you said above Dave reminds me of when Utd were after Yorke and he played for a move (badly) and Gregory got rid within days. Straight cash though, mo makeweight crap players.
