So there's an article on the BBC today saying that there have been no negotiations at all over a permanent transfer for Rashford and that he believes United would be prepared to sell him for £40m to anyone this summer, not just Villa. So that says to me that he's hoping someone else will come in for him. It also says he's got no intention of taking a pay cut from his £325, 000-a-week salary (same amount as Vinicius and Bellingham) so essentially he wants someone to pay £40m for him and then a further £17m a year in wages. I suspect, therefore, that we will see him back permanently warming the bench at Old Trafford next season. Thanks for your efforts Marcus, but for that sort of money I suspect we can do better.

Big headline on the BBC tonight : 'Villa hold talks over De Bruyne move'. Thoughts? ?

Depends on the deal Menace he will still command a fairly sizeable salary and given we are already breaching the salary cap I don’t see how it’s possible to offer Kamara £300k a week something similar for Rashford and £150k for Asensio our income streams won’t sustain that kind of outlay.
2.) 24 Apr 2025 10:20:25
Kamara not going to be on 300grand a week lol wheres that come from that's insane if true lord? And kdb if he came would be the play maker we been missing would be a statement signing
3.) 24 Apr 2025 10:46:50
We're already wondering how we could possibly afford the full wages of Rashford and Asensio.
KDB is a fair bit older than both of them and spends way more time on the treatment table.
One of the best in the world but we just cannot afford that outlay without massively sacrificing elsewhere.
4.) 24 Apr 2025 12:54:26
VJ apparently £300k is what we have offered Kamara to sign a new long term contract as he enters the last 2 years of his deal. That was reported by a number of outlets a week or so ago.
5.) 24 Apr 2025 17:40:55
Thats crazy i'd put on 200thou but not 300 lord that's mental i know he's our most important player but seems too much for me heyho thou if he signs fair play

Some interesting targets for January. According to the BBC, Unai wants to shore up the Defense with Diego Llorente from Real Betis. Apparently we're also the front-runners to sign attacking midfielder Oihan Sancet from Bilbao, even though he's got an £66.9m release clause.
1.) 24 Nov 2024 20:56:09
Wouldn’t class llorente as an upgrade, never heard of the other guy. I’d love to know how we are fixed financially, how much can we actually spend in January, anyone know?

Brilliant bit of nonsense going on over social media. A Turkish journalist posted on X that Digne was going to Galatasary on loan. Digne swiftly issued a denial wherein the journo posted a screenshot of the letter from Galatasary to Villa outlining the terms of the loan. Perhaps Monchi forgot to tell Lucas something .
1.) 07 Aug 2024 17:22:53
Nobody has to tell Digne anything until the offer is accepted.
Someone forgot to tell the reporter that a letter from Galatasary asking if Digne is available means nothing. There isn't even a guarantee that it was actually sent to Villa, it could easily just be a draft.
2.) 07 Aug 2024 23:31:46
Hands up who wants to keep Digne then? Just flagging up the rumours RK. ?
3.) 08 Aug 2024 08:33:32
Digne is one of our highest earners therefore given we have Maatsen and Moreno who are left backs it makes sense for us to sell him if we can
4.) 10 Aug 2024 18:46:39
I actually thought Digne was one of our better players last year and I would prefer to probably keep him over Moreno (I don’t have anything against Moreno either, just think Digne is better suited to the prem) but I guess if there’s a significant wage difference between them, then I understand why it would be Digne to leave of the pair.
5.) 10 Aug 2024 21:04:29
I agree Nebuchadnezzar, we were at our best in the first part of last season and that was when Moreno was injured, looking at the minutes that have being shared out it looks like matsen and digne will be our left backs, Moreno seems to be the one that more fancies a move aswel.

Rumour has it that we have reached a deal with Chelsea for Lukaku, but he's holding out because he wants to join Napoli. ?

I have a question. If we have Rashford on a loan contract that includes the right to buy at an agreed price (£60m?) does that mean we have first dibs and thus, even if Barcelona offer more, we can still sign him for that price no matter what they offer?
1.) 27 Apr 2025 21:02:41
MD, I think the player has the final say, I reckon he is Barcelona bound.
2.) 28 Apr 2025 00:11:23
Yep he has used villa to get bigger clubs bck in for him, his wages would be too high anyway, there's other players out there better than him anyway that we could rashfords been ok but not worth 40mil and 300gs, we must tie arscenscio dwn thou quality player and dissasi can go bck to chelsea awfull cb, rb what ever u want to call him
3.) 28 Apr 2025 01:42:09
Thanks for clarifying Scotty. I’m sure Rashford’s fluency in Catalan will help him enormously. Would be amusing if Barcelona don’t actually want him though ?
4.) 30 Apr 2025 16:46:29
It essentially doesn’t mean anything at all except if we bid the 40m then we we will get to enter talks with the player instantly. All it’s really doing is skipping the negotiation stage.
Nothing stopping Barcelona offering 25m if UTD accept the offer they’d have the same “advantage” if you want to call it that.
10 Apr 2025 00:29:00
On the extremely optimistic side, if we hold them 2-0 at VP, it's down to a penalty shoot-out. Well, I can dream ?
1.) 10 Apr 2025 13:41:32
I’ve had a look at the betting for us, Real and Bayern to win the tie, or get to the semis, no way Dortmund will recover but I’m going to stick a tenner on that acca ?

Fascinating and heartwarming insight into Luis Enrique and his approach to PSG. Well worth a read here on BBC.

In my frenzy to concentrate on tonight's CL semi-final, I must have missed all of your many messages of congratulations to the bluenoses on getting promoted back to the second tier ??
1.) 09 Apr 2025 18:02:33

Palace in the semi-final is probably the best draw we could have hoped for given Forest's form and City's current unpredictability. That's assuming Bournemouth don't turn City over later on today ?
1.) 30 Mar 2025 17:26:35
I'd have said worst draw. Palace are strong, fast and organised. We've struggled the last 2 or 3 times we've played them.
The other 3 are difficult but all will give up chances and not counter us as effectively.
2.) 30 Mar 2025 18:43:48
Worst draw would of been forest in my opinion rk
3.) 30 Mar 2025 20:39:30
So Forest, City or either rather than Palace RK. Pick one and then explain your logic ?
4.) 30 Mar 2025 22:28:51
My logic is already there MD. The physicality and pace of Mateta and Eze have ripped us apart twice and we've lost the midfield battle.
Maybe we'll be lucky with Mateta not being available but in recent times we've handled the other teams better even when we've lost.

Daily Mail says we’ve been offered Sterling so it must be true ? Also says Unai is not sure if he’d fit in with his plans, which I think is pretty much what everyone else on here is saying.

28 Jul 2024 01:20:42
Sorry Allstar, I initially mistakenly read in your post that you’d been doing a bit of dogging which, up our way on Cannock Chase, is a particularly popular evening pastime - see Stan Collymore for details ?
17 Jul 2024 19:17:03
Based on Williams’s Euro performances, I’d drive over to Bilbao and fetch him back myself, though Barcelona and Arsenal are also in the picture ?
06 Jul 2024 09:47:06
According to reports on the BBC today, it sounds like we are trying to get the contract terminated as part of the agreement ?

The only connection between Leroy Sane and Villa is that, according to the press, he recently moved into one on the outskirts of Munich ?
28 Apr 2025 01:42:09
Thanks for clarifying Scotty. I’m sure Rashford’s fluency in Catalan will help him enormously. Would be amusing if Barcelona don’t actually want him though ?
15 Apr 2025 20:56:23
Hospitality of course! Get your £1500 per-head lined up and you’re sorted ?
05 Apr 2025 23:13:26
Whilst we have a ‘right to buy’ clause with Rashford, do we have the same with Asensio? Otherwise his performances will be attracting much attention at other top European clubs ?
30 Mar 2025 20:39:30
