How would you guys feel about this…
Senisi - free
Mingueza - free
Vlahovic - free
Wilson - free
& That would be our only incomings but there would be outgoings of the usual suspects. Tell me that we wouldn’t be a very much better team/squad with those players added?

Good shouts, I think we need another center midfielder as well, though.
2.) 10 Jun 2026 15:35:27
Vlahovic would want stupid money on a free, but good list though. All would make our squad stronger than last season. Still need another ball winner and a pacey winger/striker.
3.) 10 Jun 2026 20:33:26
I just listed those players as they're some of the most desirable frees available, which would free up actual cash to buy other players in those positions mentioned above, which I guess would come from sales. ??♂️

Gutted to see Senesi gone to Spurs. I think he will regret it. We should have been all over this.
5.) 11 Jun 2026 20:17:23
It's an odd 1, Whackie. He's a left-sided centre-half & so is Van Der Ven, who (apart from his fitness issues) imo is up there in the top tier of defenders. Unless he's off to somewhere, I'd have him at Villa in a heartbeat if he could stay fit.

So fellas, who do you all want us to buy in the summer? Assuming what would be our 1st 11 if they were all fit, who would you rather have in their place? I’d put that 1st 11 up against anyone. We just need players to push them. There’s fringe players that will leave that need replacing. Has Digne got another season in him? Is Maatsen really good enough to replace him & who do you think would be better? Talk of Beskitas wanting Mings. Senisi would be my choice to replace him. Do we keep Lindelof as he didn’t do himself any harm last season? Cash had a decent season, but I think Mingueza would be a good upgrade that can also play centre half, & we have Bogarde that’s the same.
My hunch is Emi will stay unless we get a silly offer for him. Sancho & Bailey should go. Godts & Soule would be my replacements (& where most of our budget would go). Up top we’re ok, but would Vlahovic be worth a punt? Wages would be big, but you’re getting a £50M+ player for free that has resale value. If we got those players, the only position I’m worried about is left back. A hit-the-ground-running player for me would be Robinson of Fulham, or is there someone else out there that’s younger as we need to get our average squad age down? So many questions lol ?

In terms of our 'outs', I would be losing Nedjelkovic, Garcia, Mings, Digne, Barkley, Guessand, Bailey, and, probably a little controversially, Buendia (too inconsistent for me), and Abraham. I feel a little sorry for him, but I don't think he suits how Emery likes to play. In terms of incomings, I am assuming the money we get from these sales is in addition to the £100 million we allegedly have already.
At the back I would take Mingueza, Lacroix and Neco Williams to challenge Maatsen at left back. In midfield, Rashford, Brandt, Wilson, Rowe, and Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. Up front, I would spend big on Thiago at Brentford. I also would try my luck to nick a couple of loan deals, only this time players Unai would want, so Marmoush and Nwaneri would be nice.
2.) 31 May 2026 13:25:56
Outs: Bailey, Sancho, Maatsen, Mings, Nedelkovic, Garcia, Barkley, Abraham, Barry, Illing Jr, Joe Gauci, Dobbin, Gussand.
In’s: Rowe, Whittaker, Senesi, Wilson, Alejandro Grimaldo of Bayern Leverkusen for LB. I think they might be interested in Maatsen in a swap deal. Need a decent backup for Cash, but I don’t know who I’d like. I think Cash has done enough to keep his place, so it’s not a replacement we need.
We need a like for like backup for Watkins, but I’m not sure who. Scour the South American market for one. I like Hugo Larson as another center midfielder.
We might not buy any of the players we think, but what we do need is to get recruitment spot on this year, the sky is the limit if we do.
3.) 31 May 2026 15:26:22
Id get rid of Digne, Mings, Bogarde, Barkley, Bailey.
Id sell Onana if we get a big offer aswell, same with Martinez, and Rodgers. Id keep Lindeloff aswell.
Id sign Wilson, Minqueza on frees.
Cb Id sign Calvin Bassey, lb Diouf from Westham.
Midfield Sangare from Forest, Smith Rowe.
Wingers Jonathan Rowe, Mane from Wolves.
Striker Marcus Thuram from Inter or Schade from Brentford, Id love Groupi or Marmoush, but that might not be realistic.
Also, if Martinez left, Id go for Kellerher, and if Rodgers goes, Gibbs White.

Just been told, they reckon Audi are gonna be our new shirt sponsors, maybe naming right to VP too. ??♂️

I was hoping for Guinness on that shirt, but Audi is a pretty solid option if the deal is lucrative.

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.
4.) 11 Aug 2025 13:32:48
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
UTV
1.) 30 Jul 2025 19:33:41
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

Hearing that Emi has ‘agreed’ personal terms with Juve, but (get your head around this 1) they don’t want to pay a fee ??♂️ How about this then…? They got Jonathan David on a free last year. It hasn’t worked out for him there.
Straight swap then? The rumour I heard last year was that Ollie had agreed terms with Arsenal (before they bought Gyokores) but didn’t leave because the replacement Unai wanted went elsewhere. Always thought it was David. ?

If you get the time, check out a guy from Ajax called Mika Godts, just what we need, 20 y/o Belgian left winger (right footed). Transfermarket has him valued at €35M. They’re calling him the next Eden Hazard. Looks more like a Kinkladze type to me. ??♂️

{Ed001's Note - looks incredible doesn't he?}
1.) 31 May 2026 08:04:46
There's so many young, talented wingers around. It could go either way with them, though; consistency is the problem. From a Villa view, we've had so many over the years that have 1 good game in 10, Bailey & Sancho being an up to date example. Where's all the Robbens & Riberys gone. ??♂️

2.) 31 May 2026 15:01:47
Allstar just had a look at Godts. He looks really good, but as you can imagine, he's linked with everybody.
3.) 31 May 2026 16:43:33
Looks unreal, will be expensive, I'd say.
4.) 31 May 2026 20:09:07
Just watched clips. Get this kid signed up, hes a player we need, would cost alot aswell, hes a big boy aswell for a winger, got loads of tricks, that play maker maverick that we have been missing since Jck left. Ajax always produce good players.
30 May 2026 19:48:22
Not Villa related but when commentators/pundits say ‘cynical foul’ shouldn’t it really be ‘clinical foul?’ Always baffled me that 1. ?

This weekend I’m in London with the in laws & gonna be watching the West Ham vs Leeds game, fathers in law is a Hammer. We were discussing the Man City thing, Pep leaving, maybe he’s leaving cos Finally they might get punished for the 100+ charges they face? If that’s the case & they get deducted points (I’m gonna go with 10 points per charge like Everton/Forest got) then they should end up in The Non League or whatever it’s called, Then shouldn’t whoever finishes in the 3rd relegation place be given a pass? Only problem I’d have with that is Spuds would stay up ??♂️

It’s been said about Emery that he struggled at PSG because of the egos of the big players, would be the same at Real because it pretty much sounded like the players bombed the Lat guy out ??♂️

Doesn't add up, does it? I'm guessing them selling Kane for around £100M still counts towards that homegrown player pure profit thing for at least another year, then, unless they sell another kid for stupid money, they'll be screwed down the line.
If only we'd turned up when we played them, then they'd be down, but in hindsight, it all worked out for us, so what do I know. ??♂️

Completely agree Whackie, in particular with the Paulina 1, & at the end causing the handbags we copped a fine for, when he should have already been sent off.
