Aston Villa rumours 2

Moises Kean u having a laaugh

According to Read Aston Villa, Ben Mee is on Villa's radar. He's out of contract this summer, and I do believe that he would be a better signing than Tarkowski.

04 Jun 2022 16:05:30
We don’t need him imo, either sign another CB with European experience or keep what we have, mee or tarkowski are no improvement on what we have.

05 Jun 2022 07:34:15
Fair enough, Whackattack. I've changed my mind myself after what I read about him just now.

01 Jun 2022 16:46:58
It seems we are still interested in Robin Olsen, given his performance against City I think I would be more inclined on saving a bit of money and taking Ben Foster on a free, I know Watford were relegated but that was based more on the fact he had nothing in front of him as a back up I think he would be fine.

01 Jun 2022 17:05:04
I know he's not young but I can't see Foster wanting to be a second choice just yet. Olsen is at least used to that and despite a shaky start I thought he did alright against City for 70 minutes.

01 Jun 2022 20:28:06
rk, he stood motionless for Gundogan’s header and I firmly believe if Martinez was in goal he would have saved Rodri’s shot. He was second string at Sheff Utd and conceding 3 in 10 minutes ain’t great We can do better than Olsen.

01 Jun 2022 22:39:16
I got pelters for saying Foster the other week ??‍♂️

I think people are still stuck on thinking we are in a position to maintain 2 prem level starters in every position when we can only offer many of them league and FA Cup games.
Goalkeepers very rarely get injured so you only have 3 options. A young keeper who is still fairly green, a perennial number 2 or someone near the end of their career who is about to be dropped.
Foster doesn't fit any of those categories as he's still got at least another year of being a first choice and he's not the type to not take it.
Even Steer got fed up of not playing and moved on.
I've seen Emi concede worse goals but we don't criticise him. Olsen hadn't played a minute for us and didn't find out he was starting until last minute so was unlikely he'd have an absolute worldie. He's an international number one for a team that did well at the Euros and his experience at Roma means he's been around some good players and managers. He's unlikely to play much so its more about what he can bring in behind the scenes which is probably more than some other options that we could actually get to sit on the bench. £3m isn't much for his experience whuch can be used to help the young keepers.

02 Jun 2022 06:33:50
Foster has openly said one of the clubs he would consider moving to is Villa, he has done that in the understanding that he would not be the no 1, he has a vast amount of experience played international football and even at his age he is a better keeper than Olsen in my opinion.

02 Jun 2022 08:20:40
Let's add up the total sum of those quotes.
'Would consider being a number 2 to a world class goalkeeper' meaning it's not really his first choice.
'Like Ramsdale or even Martinez' meaning if he is going to be a number 2 then he will prioritise Arsenal over us.
Foster will take his time, first waiting to see what first choice offers there are before then considering backup options.
Our current setup seems to be that we don't hang around as someone's fall back. If you're not saying yes early on then we're not interested. I like that approach as we are essentially likely to end up with mercenaries who don't put in any effort.

02 Jun 2022 09:15:48
If he is looking to stay in the premiership then at 39 it’s very unlikely he is going to be anyone’s first choice even the newly promoted sides. I accept we are going to buy Olsen the deal looks as good as done, I just hope Martinez doesn’t get injured because if he’s out for any length of time I think Olsen will cost us points.

02 Jun 2022 09:39:46
That may or may not be the case but I think that's the same with most clubs.
Spurs second choice is a keeper we didn't trust in the championship. Liverpool are worried any time Alisson is out.
Outside of Leno, Henderson and Kepa I wouldn't say there's a number 2 you'd absolutely put your money on being as consistently good as the first choice. Palace maybe but that's more a case of Guaita not being top level so Butland doesn't look like a drop off in quality.

{Ed001's Note - Liverpool are not worried when Kelleher is in goal at all. He is an excellent young keeper. Most Liverpool fans just worry we will lose him as he could easily be first choice elsewhere. Leno and Kepa are both very poor keepers, I guess only as good as the first choice because Ramsdale and Mendy are both poor as well.}

30 May 2022 22:11:09
Isco is available on a free we should try to sign him

31 May 2022 23:28:21
A cheeky loan move for Alvarez from city might work, he won’t get huge game time with haland coming in

26 May 2022 18:12:14
Twitter speculation. Could be right!
Fringe players? Our exit list should look something like this by September 1st?

➡️ Kalinic
➡️ Steer
➡️ Hause
➡️ Targett
➡️ Guilbert
➡️ Trezeguet
➡️ El Ghazi
➡️ Davis
➡️ Wesley
➡️ Luiz, Ings, Konsa,



Anyone else?

26 May 2022 18:57:05
Yes, Sanson and Hourihane,

26 May 2022 19:36:04
Hope we don’t sell Konsa, can’t see us getting decent money for him this summer and still think he’s decent especially to be demoted to back up with new arrivals.

And unless we sign a top forward to replace him, I’d keep Ings too. Proven goal scorers in the premiership aren’t easy to find and unless it’s someone who knows the league, they could take however long to bed in.

26 May 2022 19:40:25
And Chuck.

26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?

26 May 2022 20:18:48
And Mings

26 May 2022 21:12:09
So for me with regard the sales I think if we can sell most on the list and it’s a big if we should get in around £100 million.

Luiz £20 million, Ings £20 million AEG £10 million, Targett £15 million, Trez, £8 million Sanson £10 million, Wesley Guilbert and Davis £5 million each

26 May 2022 22:10:34
I agree with most lord but trez and AEG will be on the 5 million group.

27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.

28 May 2022 12:37:47
Absolutely no point selling him for 10m.
Who are you replacing him with that kinda money? Bare in mind we apparently was £8m for Davies…?!
Not to mention the significant loss on what we paid for him. That would be a really terrible piece of business.

02 Jun 2022 09:51:04
Can’t sell Mings. Most blocks, most headed clearances, most passes, 3 assists. Will the exception of a few mistakes earlier in the season average distribution form the back he is a quality defender

26 May 2022 14:04:56
So. Diego Carlos at 75 million, what's your thoughts? A lot of money but is he worth it? And is it just speculation or is there truth in it?

26 May 2022 16:01:18
£40 million, I think, will seal the deal. Whenever the quotes come from overseas sources it seems to have a bit more legs. I think it is looking likely.

Maybe Mings is off to Newcastle?

26 May 2022 17:23:14
Apparently according to Sky sport fee agreed initially £26 million due to complete medical and personal terms later today

26 May 2022 17:34:38
AVFC official site confirms he has agreed to join Villa.

26 May 2022 17:36:26
£26mill is fairly reasonable for his age, any more and we should have walked away.

26 May 2022 17:42:30
Fab player if so! And another great bit of business done early! ???

26 May 2022 18:21:30
Gerrard really wasn’t lying when he said they had a lot of work already done in the background on transfers, this could be our greatest window ever. exciting times.

26 May 2022 19:40:08
Absolutely! It’s such a breath of fresh air to have targets and signings so early! Can’t envisage any issues with the medical and can’t see us failing to agree terms as they’d already have been preliminary discussed before any travel. so it’s another happy day!

02 Jun 2022 09:54:15
Any1 see the salty quotes from there coaches and players about leaving a title challenging club to a relegation club

25 May 2022 19:33:12
Reports coming out of Barcelona,about meetings with Carney and his reps .

23 May 2022 20:09:59
Just been reported on sky sports news, villa in talks with tarkovski! Would he replace konsa?

23 May 2022 21:29:10
I thought he plays as a left sided centre back at Burnley. so maybe a replacement for mings or competition.

23 May 2022 23:15:26
I think he will be replacement for Hause / to add more competition for places. I don't think we will sell Konsa personally as he's still got tonnes of potential and age wise has still got plenty of time to fufil it. He hasn't had the best of seasons, but we've seen what he's capable of.

24 May 2022 19:45:18
@Fordy, he’s right footed so I wouldn’t say he’s a direct replacement for Mings, on a free he’d be ideal left right or part of a back 3, ticks all the boxes for me ??‍♂️

UTV

25 May 2022 07:38:14
Yeah,I agree. But a lot right footed players play as a left sided centre back, dias, VVD, I don't think he is a replacement for mings. but the competition is more than welcome for me.

19 May 2022 22:19:52
Despite the penalty Beundia head and shoulders above everyone as man of the match but he'll be dropped again Sunday.

19 May 2022 22:08:52
It seems to me it's a big summer for us not only in terms of incomings and outgoings but in how we play, we are far to pedestrian particularly transitioning from back to front. Burnley were quite happy to let us have the ball in front of there back four and wait us to play through them and despite the supposed creativity we had on the pitch we didn't have the guile to break them down. When we get the ball we often get to the final third quickly enough but once there we inevitably slow it down as if we are not sure what to do allowing the oppositions back four to reset this needs to change and quickly otherwise we are going to struggle next season.

21 May 2022 21:27:10
The part I couldn't understand, was why with the size of their defence plus a 6f6inch goalie,we kept putting those high balls into their box .
