It seems that Ramsey is definitely on his way then. Somewhere between £30-40m.
If it's closer to £40m I say it's a good deal for us, especially as he has had some injury issues.
Not so sure that I want us to spend this money on Asensio though, as being reported on some sites.
1.) 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.
2.) 14 Aug 2025 21:19:01
They’re saying £43M inc add ons for Ramsey, keeps getting better don’t it? I’ve just got this feeling something is in the pipeline that no one is going to see coming, that’s going to blow us away ?

Another website are saying that Ramsey's preferred destination, if he were to leave, is Newcastle. If a new contract cannot be mutually agreed.
Mixed feelings about him tbh.
1.) 12 Aug 2025 16:18:51
If we get £40M for him and get someone like Dibbling or Guler I’d be happy

Also McAtee for £30M ??♂️

He is off to Forest it seems

This lad we're apparently about to buy, Evann Guessand, certainly looks a talent.
I just wonder about the construction around this deal however. Nice are owned by Ineos. Ineos owner, Ratcliffe owns Utd. Utd are rumoured to be interested in Watkins.
Call it a coincidence but there might be a link here. I hope not, but.

Looks like sesko is going to united
01 Aug 2025 16:06:00
I've read that Turkish defender, Yasin Ozcan, who we signed just earlier this is on the verge of leaving for Anderlecht, either permanently or on loan.
If it's a perm deal that will leave me totally bemused as to what our transfer policy is.
What was the point of signing him?
1.) 01 Aug 2025 22:22:55
Apparently a permanent move is an option but for an amount in excess of what we paid. One can only assume Emery has had a closer look at Ozcan up close and doesn’t think he has what it takes and from that perspective if we get more than we paid we haven’t lost anything. I would also presume we have included a sell on clause.
2.) 02 Aug 2025 02:12:56
A profit and a sell on clause is good business to be fair, it’s unusual but with the position we find ourselves in every bit helps.
5 million profit pays one of our first team players 100 a week for a year, probably not going to make 5 million but you get my drift
21 Jul 2025 08:14:15
Rumoured that Chelsea are prepared to offer Villa 3 players to prise Rogers to Stamford Bridge.
I don't want 3 players from them who probably don't want to leave and possible don't want to come to Villa. Would be a bad deal imo.
If he does go it's got to be a cash deal.
We can then get players in who we want and need.
1.) 21 Jul 2025 08:48:55
If we let Rogers go and it wouldn’t be the end of the world if that did happen I’m sure Jackson would be part of any deal.
2.) 21 Jul 2025 12:53:42
A swap deal doesn’t help our psr, I honestly couldn’t see this happening, we would actually be worse off having to pay 3 players wages instead of 1 player, same with united they are interested in Martinez but don’t want to spend any fresh money for a deal they want to swap garnacho, I find it comical they have all this money to spend on new players from other teams but don’t want to give us cash money when in fact we are the team who needs that cash more than any other team in the league, Rogers is our golden ticket, if they want him let them stump up 100 million or sod off, only a fool would take any swaps imo, Chelsea are desperate to get rid of Jackson after buying 2 new strikers, we are holding the aces in my opinion. Selling rogers or Martinez to a rival club makes them stronger and us weaker so if it happens we should be making damn sure that we get ourselves out of the financial pickle we find ourselves in.
3.) 21 Jul 2025 14:14:49
Whack, income is not limited to cash. Like with Luiz, the value of any players taken in exchange count towards a profit on a player sale.
4.) 21 Jul 2025 14:42:23
I certainly wouldn’t take 3 players and tbh I wouldn’t take Jackson either he is half decent but if we want a forward I would rather go for my own personal favourite Patrick Schick or failing that Mateta from Palace but in reality I think Emery rates Jackson and would take him with a cash adjustment in our favour, but the cash adjustment would be key so it would have to be £35-40 million minimum and I can’t see Chelsea going for that.
5.) 21 Jul 2025 21:18:03
Hey RK, yeh I know what your saying about player value counting towards psr but as far as I know it’s the wages that are hurting us at the minute and taking on 3 players wages instead of rogers wages won’t help us out, the luiz deal didn’t help us out that much, we got 2 players we didn’t want who went on loan and 1 of them gone again this year, god only knows what the plan is for illing jr I haven’t heard anything. whereas if we had gotten a straight up 50-60 million we would of being financially much better off.
6.) 21 Jul 2025 21:37:03
Lotm I would have both those strikers ahead of Jackson, Chelsea looking between 80-100 million for him, no chance, they are having a laugh and only trying to big him up so they can try recoup money or make a deal for rogers which won’t break the bank for them, in reality they want rid of him, they rate him that badly inside the club that he couldn’t nail down his spot when they had no other real striker, he’s not going to get a sniff now they have delap and Pedro ??
I know you keep mentioning that Emery rates him but your reading to much into a simple comment that Emery made when asked about him, if you asked Emery what he thought of any player in the league he would say the exact same thing about them, managers don’t pass negative remarks on players from other teams unless there is bad blood there, it would be very unprofessional and would only cause controversy,
Emery is a pro and a gentleman I have never heard him say anything bad about anyone, I’ll believe he wants him if we ever put in a bid for him, I just can’t see it. every window the press link is with every player Emery ever managed, when in fact he’s only bought 1 player that he had history with. personally I think Chelsea are crossing fingers and toes that saudi come in for him, much more likely that he goes on loan to the likes of Leipzig or Leverkusen or Sporting etc who have lost a striker already.

You maybe right Whack but as with all these things time will tell.

We look a bit leggy.
Buendia in particular looks well off it.
I hope he doesn't take Malen off. He's had no service.
What price Watkins to come on and break his goal drought?
27 Nov 2025 23:43:24
Sole intention to cause trouble.
Should be kicked out the competition, no doubt in my mind.
For those criticising West Mids Police a few weeks ago I hope they can praise them for their bravery tonight. ?
27 Nov 2025 19:52:05
From the comfort of my recovery bed (post op) that has not done my recovery any good at all.
How bad is Watkins?
Guessand is just not up to it. Whoever is responsible for bringing him in needs to pay the transfer fee themselves.
How bad must Elliott be not to get a game in that team?
Overall very, very frustrating.
1.) 27 Nov 2025 21:07:35
Trinity I'm able bodied and I'm only just recovering from that performance. My two grandsons both echoed your views about Watkins and Guessand, how on earth did we pay a stupid fee for possibly one of our worst signings. If Ollie had an open goal he would probably miss.
Why don't we ever put teams to bed when we have such control of the game, tonight could easily have been a draw. If we play this slow complacent lethargic play against Wolves don't be surprised if we struggle to get three points.
27 Nov 2025 19:27:24
This had the potential to get our goal difference massively improved. Too many players trying not to get injured.
Frustrating.
27 Nov 2025 18:08:13
15 minutes in and our biggest risk tonight is our own complacency. Similar to the GAE game.
15 Aug 2025 19:43:35
Whack, is he a Villa boy? Not that it matters.
The physio will be a lot less busy with Ramsey and Bailey going (if he does) . Not their fault but some players are held back by injuries.
10 Jun 2025 12:49:48
No Rogers, Watkins, Tielemens, Kamara, Ramsey. What are we going to do?
03 Jun 2025 13:49:43
VJ, both Chelsea and United have much stronger brands around the world not just in the UK. Money is constantly flowing through the tills. Chelsea also sold their Women's team, something we've been rumoured to be looking at.
Every club is waiting for the outcome of the 115 point legal case. Win it and I suggest the floodgates will open.
22 May 2025 14:18:21
Jonny, this is the world we're in. All clubs are trying to do it. Having a youngster on the books from a very young age and then selling them is 100% profit to the bottom line. Grealish and Palmer are the obvious examples and I'm sure there are more.
Looking at the U18s I would say that there could be a significant revenue stream for the club over the next 2 - 3 years.
It would be great to benefit from them playing for the 1st team but PSR has caused this and this loophole is the only way for us to compete especially as Villa Park is c15-20k short of some other clubs capacities which significantly reduces our income.
Sorry to talk about ££££ but that's what football is about now.
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.
09 Nov 2025 13:58:53
Nothing to with his poor form this season then?
07 Nov 2025 07:57:36
Great post.
Highlighting the positives and also identifying some of the issues, eg. slow play.
Guessand is surely a better player than we've seen so far and for £23m we should expect a lot more from him. Sometimes players struggle to settle at a club and this might be one of those.
The 'Elliott' question is an interesting one. Only Emery knows the truth, at the moment.
Sancho looked a bit better last night.
Bournemouth will provide an altogether different proposition.
UTV
25 Sep 2025 21:58:49
Agree 100%. I’d love to see his pass completion stats.
Time for a spell out of the starting XI
02 Sep 2025 07:57:58
Malen instead of Sancho?
I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, but many on here and other forums have slated Malen.
No Kamara either? Or is this purely for the Everton game as he will probably still be injured?
01 Sep 2025 12:43:43
How is this going to play out? Emery was visibly annoyed about the situation around Martinez yesterday.
Does he cut his nose off to spite his face by keeping him out of the squad or does he move on and pick him next game (if he does stay) .
Does Martinez refuse to play?
I don't see how this is anything but a problem for the club now.
