Looks like Chelsea interest in Rogers is being stepped up, apparently they have offered Jackson, Aderabayo plus cash. I am sure we will reject the offer however as Palmer is allegedly one of his best mates I wonder if he will eventually have his head turned.

Chelsea want £100M for Jackson, other guy I’m going to guess £30M+, and cash? Why don’t we make an offer for Palmer, we need a left footed attacking mid, and he’s mates with Rogers so even better, they can carpool to training too and save the planet ??

Looks like Asensio is off to Fenerbache sadly
1.) 03 Jul 2025 01:21:31
I saw that… but with Duran coming in and them paying 3/4 of his wages I would’ve thought it was one or the other! That’s a significant outlay otherwise

Just read an interesting take on the Marco Asensio situation, apparently we won't be taking up the option to buy not because Emery doubts his ability by because they think he has lost 'his legs' and can't sustain a performance over 90 minutes which has a ring of truth about it in that he hasn't started many games and those that he has he invariably gets substituted.
1.) 11 May 2025 17:30:51
He has gone off the boil lately I really don’t know why he started yesterday I would of started Rogers centrally and give Malen a start on the wing
23 Apr 2025 22:02:00
I see we are being linked with a possible move for Kevin De Bruyne. Interesting and costly I would have thought.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 00:17:02
He would be a brilliant signing if he came
2.) 24 Apr 2025 13:01:43
He will be 34 in June and demanding a big wage. Already seen this season his legs ain't what they use to be. Money to be spent more wisely elsewhere is my call.

Just seen a rumour that Utd have offered us £69 million for Rogers.Nowhere near enough.
1.) 13 Apr 2025 22:50:14
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

I see Unai is the fastest Villa manager to achieve 50 wins and by some distance, and some would have us get rid of him. Really!
1.) 07 Oct 2025 12:24:46
Surely he has won more than 50 games? Seems a bit low after 3 years
2.) 07 Oct 2025 15:02:10
Think it's fastest to 80
05 Oct 2025 18:20:51
4 wins on the bounce, but we are a difficult watch. I agree that we should have been out of sight by the hour mark, then after Malen's second we tried to coast to the final whistle and allowed Burnley back into it and against better teams we may very well have been punished. Work is still required to get to somewhere near where we were in the early part of last season.
Just as an aside everybody raves about Rodri and Rice as defensive midfielders and both are excellent in the role, but Kamara isn't far behind them his shielding of our back four is first class he rarely turns in anything other than a 8 out of 10 performance, and I don't think his contribution is recognised by the national media who focus on players from the so called big six, the one area where he could improve is in the goals column but in fairness as a defensive midfielder that isn't really his game.
1.) 05 Oct 2025 19:43:19
Not very often we agree LOTM, however you are absolutely bang on. Burnley were a poor side and there for the taking and we should have been out of site before their late goal. How many times have we had squeaky bum for the last quarter of the game, as you said better teams wouldn't have let us of the hook.We definitely need to step our game up and Watkins just isn't helping or pulling his weight. Positives, we are getting our injured players back, Rogers was much improved, Bogarde was excellent and Kamara is absolute class and is so calm on the ball. We have some difficult games ahead and after the next three games we can see if we have improved.

Just read the statement from Sawiris re Olabe's appointment, his ability to spot talent early and develop it. Reading between the lines that suggests to me that whilst the PSR restrictions are in place we are more likely to spend modestly in the market with a view to bringing players on. I think that the days where we spend £40-50 million on a player are probably gone at least in the short to medium term.

Just watched Match of the Day and VAR fails again. Since when has a kick in the head not been a foul? Bad enough the ref didn't give it but even worse VAR confirmed the decision.Something needs to change with regards how VAR is operated or better still scrap the bloody thing it's sucking the entertainment out of the game.

Just seen Illing Junior score a nice goal for the Baggies, pace, balance and a decent finish he's worth watching, might do a job for us??♂️

If it true then we move on but I hope it doesn’t turn into Billy McNeill chapter 2.
22 Sep 2025 13:25:51
Not sure how true these rumours are, Emery has pretty much total control of the football operation at Villa, he won’t get that at any other club and I’m not sure having to work with InEOS and the Glazers would be that attractive. However time will tell and as Alain these kind of things money talks. If he does go I am sure we will live to regret it in the long term
21 Aug 2025 09:47:28
They have sold Danilo, Ruben Sosa, and Matt Turner for somewhere in the region of £40 million plus some other squad players for a few million, that plus the Elanga fee equates to something over £100 million.
20 Aug 2025 21:25:36
Allstar, Forest have raked in over £100 million in sales so I think the net spend is something like £40 million to date which isn’t that great. Add in the money they will rake in from European football they should be ok however if they are in any trouble at the end of the season then selling Gibbs-White will no doubt resolve it
13 Aug 2025 18:33:21
I think Asensio would be great, provides flexibility across the front positions and 8 goal contributions from 21 games isn’t too shabby either. I think Emery is fairly confident that this deal is going to happen as despite some offers from Turkey and Italy Asensio hasn’t signed which suggests to me that once we have completed a sale he will move to us all assuming we can match his wage expectations.

I’ve written to the BBC I think the politicians approach is extremely short sighted, they are asking for a decision based on a risk assessment undertaken by the police to be changed, how can you ask for the decision to be changed without having seen the assessment? I managed risk at a senior level for most of my career and the police will have assessed what level of risk they are prepared to take ie high medium or low and acted accordingly. By all means ask to see the paperwork and critically review the process and if you think the police are risk averse by all means review the decision but to ask for it to be arbitrarily changed is foolhardy and if something happens and god forbid someone is seriously injured then the political classes will be culpable.
09 Oct 2025 08:52:23
I’m sure at some point Unai will move on all managers do, but I think unless we sack him (god forbid) he will be very selective over where he goes next he has more or less total control of the football operation with us would he get that elsewhere? Not sure and he certainly wouldn’t get it at Utd and I agree with Whack re it being a graveyard for managers. I don’t think Jesus could get a tune out of Utd currently.

Sorry VillaShew I used the same stat as you in a later post I should have checked earlier posts before posting.??♂️

We will hear from him next time we don’t win.
