Aston Villa Transfer Rumours

19 Jun 2026 18:55:45
So we have been linked with Harry Wilson and Julian Brandt for quite some time, both available on frees. According to reports both are now likely to sign for Leeds, in fact bookies have stopped taking bets on the Wilson move to Leeds.

If we can’t beat the likes of Leeds to these type of transfers, you have to wonder why, given we are a bigger club and have CL football to offer.

19 Jun 2026 20:19:36
The only thing I can think of is we were never looking for him and it was all just the usual bs from the papers, which isn't surprising, as the club don't advertise their business till it's done. Maybe with Champions League we are aiming for higher quality.

19 Jun 2026 20:26:22
I think if we wanted them then we'd beat Leeds to 'em. Wilson, I see as purely being cover for SJM. Brandt, I don't know too much about. I think we're gonna be pleasantly surprised by who we get in. Be nice to get some quality frees though.

They're both old as well, though, with no resale value, and I agree we're most likely looking at younger, higher-level players.

19 Jun 2026 21:14:22
Not with the budget we have. I'm afraid we only have £100 million, and that has to be matched with £100 million worth of sales. So, Baturina, who we are linked with and is the right age profile; Como want £69 million!! And we don't know how he will adapt to the PL.

I'd rather take Wilson or Brandt on a free, and look at cheaper alternatives in either the Scandinavian or South American markets, like Bournemouth, Brighton, and Brentford do successfully.

17 Jun 2026 12:50:21
Any truth that Rodgers has put in transfer request? It's the noise going on. Also, I think Villa should say 150mil going price and not a penny lower. Anderson going for 130mil. Rodgers is worth more than Anderson as well.

Arsenal need to know there place and Villa need to show we can't be bullied into selling any of our best players on the cheap. If clubs want our price, pay the going rate.

17 Jun 2026 17:57:56
All B.S. I'd imagine, it's not even journo's writing the headlines anymore. It's all AI rubbish. We hold all the cards, he's under contract till 2031. If a deal happens, it's going to be a mega one, I reckon. If Arsenal want to be big boys, they're going to have to pay big boy prices.

17 Jun 2026 18:58:40
It might be rubbish, but it might not, particularly if the conditions UEFA have allegedly placed on the club at the end of last season are as reported. Irrespective of the owners giving Emery £100 million to spend, he cannot do that without securing the equivalent sum by way of sales.

If we breach that, we risk a 3-year ban from European competition. So, we are faced with a difficult choice of either boosting our spending capabilities by selling Rogers, or facing a summer of limited spending, subsidised by 2 or 3 free transfers.

18 Jun 2026 14:00:38
Option B for me, Lotm. Sell a few fringe players and reinvest the cash into some younger players our scouting department have been working on. We have at least a dozen players who could be sold. Keep Rogers, build around him. The press make so much about our financial restraints that clubs will chance their arm, hoping we are stuck.

We have Elliot Luiz and Sancho's wages off the books now, so as it stands we are well within budget on psr. Selling Rogers for big money won't solve all the problems, because it would only be one wage gone off the books.

16 Jun 2026 21:38:11
Stick a 20 million price tag on Martinez's head. If Juventus pay it, let him go.

17 Jun 2026 00:18:20
And not a penny less. 👌

08 Jun 2026 21:00:19
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?

UTV

10 Jun 2026 13:45:55
Good shouts, I think we need another center midfielder as well, though.

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.

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. 🤷🏼‍♂️

UTV.

11 Jun 2026 08:22:54
Gutted to see Senesi gone to Spurs. I think he will regret it. We should have been all over this.

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.

UTV

Just read a ridiculous article about Martinez being sold to Juve for 5 million. Where do they get this rubbish?

08 Jun 2026 09:39:31
In other news, Tonali, Wharton and Anderson price tags are all 100 million, but Rogers apparently is 80 million...
Wharton, 1 goal, 5 assists.
Tonali, 1 goal, 5 assists.
Anderson, 4 goals, 5 assists.
Rogers, 13 goals, 11 assists.
Figure that one out.

08 Jun 2026 12:23:43
I know its a joke. Rodgers wont go for anything less than 110mil mil if he goes, that is. Im let listening to the press media, they talk alot of bs.

08 Jun 2026 18:18:32
The whole article on Martinez is rubbish. The salary he is supposedly on £230k is wrong, and although we do have certain SCR issues, by returning Sancho, Elliott, and Luiz we save circa £350k a week, and if the likes of Mings, Digne, Guessand, and Bailey leave, we will save a further £300-400k a week, so it's not the doom and gloom that certain media outlets are peddling.

08 Jun 2026 20:54:46
The SCR thing... reports Emi is on £230K & that's why we're ok with letting him go. Then we make a bid for Rashford who is on even more money, clown world. 🙄

UTV.

08 Jun 2026 22:17:56
Apparently Rashford has lowered his wage demands, and if we lose our 3 loan players that would more than cover Rashford's wage demands.

09 Jun 2026 00:50:48
Lotm, personally I don’t want to see Digne leave. Maatsen is a liability defensively, and we’re much weaker without him imo. The others I’m fine with leaving. As for Rashford, I think there’s younger players out there just as good as him. We qualified for the Champions League in 2 of the past 3 years, missing out the year that he was here.

On paper we had a weaker squad this year, but we got our business done, so I’m fine with signing him or not signing him. I don’t think he’s going to make or break us. We need younger players with resale value in my opinion.

09 Jun 2026 10:33:03
I like Rashford, he is a good player, proven in the Premiership, and what's more Emery can get a tune out of him. If, as reported, he is willing to take a significant drop in salary and is available at circa £25 million, I would take him, particularly as players like Rowe and other wingers we are being linked with are only available at £35 million plus and none of those have shown they can cut it in the PL.

06 Jun 2026 21:01:30
Ollie, Rogers, Rashford with Kane helping out, not a bad forward line.

03 Jun 2026 19:46:48
I was just reading an article which confirmed what I think we all knew, which was last year our net transfer spend was amongst the lowest in the PL at circa £27 million; however, our spend on agents' fees was second highest, in excess of £38 million. It just goes to highlight the hidden costs in any club's transfer business. The sum is quite shocking, really.

06 Jun 2026 01:06:48
I saw that, Lotm, it's stomach turning, the only plus is that some of that went on contract extensions to some of our big players, and if any leave that signed a new contract, we will recoup all that money as players are worth more to us now with the longer contracts.
That 38 million would have been nice to add to our transfer kitty, though.

06 Jun 2026 11:58:35
Biggest scourge of football agents, not just the money they get, it's the problems they cause, upsetting players. When you see people not being able to come to games anymore because of increased prices, it galls even more when you see that kind of money agents are receiving. UTV

03 Jun 2026 00:10:13
Karin Adeyemi now there’s a player I’d snap up asap, you know the drill with these rumours but apparently we’re monitoring his situation.

04 Jun 2026 00:32:44
Would be an amazing signing if we got him whack. Only thing is hes on 100thou a week, mate. I also see Unai wants only rumours thou, a cb, rb, 2 cms, 2 winger, and striker.

31 May 2026 08:32:55
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.

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.

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.

28 May 2026 08:31:08
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.

Someone on here at the start of the season said Samsung.

Champions League again. Europe 4 consecutive seasons in a row.
The icing on the cake awaits.
Wrap these players in cotton wool for the next 4 days.

Just sat through a replay of the game again, obviously you see a bit more than being at the game. Brilliant to see Prince William enjoying it as much as I was, the interview with Ginny at the end was great as well, what professional. Ally in the commentary suggested that we should have had another pen for that reckless foul on Ollie, he said any other where on the park that would have been a foul.

One of the most complete performances I've seen in years, all because we had energy, non-stop closing them down, never gave them a second.
Has to play same side on Sunday, make sure of those 3 points. UTV.

04 May 2026 16:01:08
Does any1 really think Madrid will be stupid enough to get Unai, he'd be sacked in 9 months with the big egos in that locker room.

09 May 2026 08:50:34
We need Emery for as long as possible. He can deliver everything and look at last season, beating Bayern and PSG at home and Europe every season.
