Aston Villa FC Rumours

Slight problem with that one Wood out for most of the season

Just been reading that we are prepared to offer Kamara in excess of £300k a week to fend off interest from some of the European giants who are supposedly hovering. If that's true I can't see us paying that kind of money to Kamara, Rashford and Asensio our financial position won't stand for that kind of outlay we may be able to afford one maybe two at a real stretch but can't see how we get all three.

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

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

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

The Times are reporting we are significantly in breach of UEFA's squad cost ratio rules we are allegedly running at in excess of 90% of income when I believe this years target is 85% which tapers down to I believe 75% over the next couple of seasons and I am not sure if the costs take account of Rashford/Asensio salaries following them joining in January. This is why Emery is having to operate so creatively in the transfer market and it's not easy to sign quality for relative peanuts.

Yes I've saw this to LOTM goes to show the constraints we are going through just to try to compete

07 Feb 2025 14:21:47
No malen in champions league squad. That's a shock, especially as it means bailey is in.

03 Feb 2025 22:28:12
Not a bad window, I know a lot of ifs and buts, still to see . With these added players, if they play anywhere near their potential, it's looking good . Also we've upset Spurs and if Rashford starts playing, we could upset ManU as well, so not all bad HaHa . Get our injuries sorted, and that not a bad squad . UTV

Dassi in just confirmed not worst cb in the world well he imprpve our defence don't think so, but time will tell il up my score to 4and half lol

03 Feb 2025 20:34:28
Axel Disasi On the way to Villa Park for a medical according to a number of sources.

03 Feb 2025 21:02:03
It’s gone from us being pessimistic to probably the best squad we’ve ever seen at Villa, if a fully fit squad 🤷🏼‍♂️

An exceptional squad if we have the best version of each player but that will remain to be seen. it’s looking better than it did on Friday so that’s a good start, a good defence coach the next thing we need to prioritise, what’s John Terry doing these days?

03 Feb 2025 22:38:53
We could do with jt bck whack

03 Feb 2025 22:44:17
Someone else’s Mrs Whackie 😂

04 Feb 2025 00:49:23
I’d say Emery would let him have his missus if he could sort out our defence 😂😂

03 Feb 2025 20:27:58
Rumours are Villa are going to pay Chelsea £5 to loan Axel Disasi

03 Feb 2025 17:46:37
Anyone know what's happened to the Asensio deal?

03 Feb 2025 19:01:15
74 last I heard it was still expected to be completed.

03 Feb 2025 19:13:25
It’s done.

03 Feb 2025 19:20:09
74 it has just been announced he is now with Villa.
