Some interesting targets for January. According to the BBC, Unai wants to shore up the Defense with Diego Llorente from Real Betis. Apparently we're also the front-runners to sign attacking midfielder Oihan Sancet from Bilbao, even though he's got an £66.9m release clause.

Wouldn’t class llorente as an upgrade, never heard of the other guy. I’d love to know how we are fixed financially, how much can we actually spend in January, anyone know?

Brilliant bit of nonsense going on over social media. A Turkish journalist posted on X that Digne was going to Galatasary on loan. Digne swiftly issued a denial wherein the journo posted a screenshot of the letter from Galatasary to Villa outlining the terms of the loan. Perhaps Monchi forgot to tell Lucas something .

Nobody has to tell Digne anything until the offer is accepted.
Someone forgot to tell the reporter that a letter from Galatasary asking if Digne is available means nothing. There isn't even a guarantee that it was actually sent to Villa, it could easily just be a draft.

Hands up who wants to keep Digne then? Just flagging up the rumours RK. ?
3.) 08 Aug 2024 08:33:32
Digne is one of our highest earners therefore given we have Maatsen and Moreno who are left backs it makes sense for us to sell him if we can
4.) 10 Aug 2024 18:46:39
I actually thought Digne was one of our better players last year and I would prefer to probably keep him over Moreno (I don’t have anything against Moreno either, just think Digne is better suited to the prem) but I guess if there’s a significant wage difference between them, then I understand why it would be Digne to leave of the pair.

I agree Nebuchadnezzar, we were at our best in the first part of last season and that was when Moreno was injured, looking at the minutes that have being shared out it looks like matsen and digne will be our left backs, Moreno seems to be the one that more fancies a move aswel.

Rumour has it that we have reached a deal with Chelsea for Lukaku, but he's holding out because he wants to join Napoli. ?
31 Jul 2024 11:28:18
According to the BBC, we have submitted a bid for Hoffenheim forward Maximilian Beier and we're also interested in Jean-Philippe Mateta from Palace. Certainly looks like we're looking for another striker then ?

Just hope the ffp rumours are not correct
And we have to sell a certain mr Watkins!
For me it’s talksport talking rubbish but you never know
22 Jul 2024 11:25:58
According to The Sun (always reliable?) we are looking to replace Diaby with Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix. At least there's plenty of other Portuguese he can hang around with in the Midlands?

Decent set of results today. Now all we need is United to put one over on Chelski - oh and we need to beat Spurs - then we'll be clear second, one point behind City ?
1.) 02 Nov 2024 18:06:35
You been drinking mate, Liverpool are top.
2.) 02 Nov 2024 18:11:13
That should read ‘clear third’ by the way ?
3.) 02 Nov 2024 19:32:45
Definitely been drinking then md
4.) 02 Nov 2024 20:17:42
When do we ever take advantage of these situations ?
5.) 03 Nov 2024 15:01:11
Half way there
6.) 03 Nov 2024 15:41:17
Certainly not today Southern
7.) 03 Nov 2024 15:57:03
Obviously never. Poor all round today.

Emi voted the world's best keeper for the second year running at the Ballon d'Or. And I thought that was my missus ❤️ ❤️

I see Mourinho said yesterday that he wants to take on managing a team at the bottom of the Prem. Well surely that comment can be no coincidence given the position the Dingles find themselves in and their penchant for all things Portuguese. I wonder if he's already been approached? ?
1.) 25 Oct 2024 20:47:48
He said in 2 years when his contract is up
03 Oct 2024 21:51:11
Someone pointed out today that during the farcical season of 2015-16, the club were rightly criticised for the rebranding exercise when we removed 'Prepared' from the club crest. Whereas ironically that pretty much totally sums up everything that Emery is about ?
1.) 03 Oct 2024 22:00:47
MD, imagine being the guy that got a tattoo with 'Prepared' on it, only for it to be removed from the crest about a year later. ?♂️
2.) 04 Oct 2024 11:51:15
That guy was was me RK ??
3.) 04 Oct 2024 12:33:52
You're not alone Daz, seeing them turn the lion around really took the biscuit for mine. Having a left facing lion in flames with Prepared made me feel a right wally last season ?
4.) 04 Oct 2024 23:48:59
Especially since it’s on your forehead RK ? I had EUROPEANCUPWINNERSAGAINSTBAYERN1982 tattooed down the length of my old boy in massive letters back in the day. Nowadays at my age due to natural shrinkage sadly it just reads ‘UPINASTAR’ ?
29 Sep 2024 18:36:43
Don't over-complicate it. Put simply, neither Konsa nor Carlos could handle Liam Delap and that's where we lost it.

Daily Mail says we’ve been offered Sterling so it must be true ? Also says Unai is not sure if he’d fit in with his plans, which I think is pretty much what everyone else on here is saying.

Sorry Allstar, I initially mistakenly read in your post that you’d been doing a bit of dogging which, up our way on Cannock Chase, is a particularly popular evening pastime - see Stan Collymore for details ?
17 Jul 2024 19:17:03
Based on Williams’s Euro performances, I’d drive over to Bilbao and fetch him back myself, though Barcelona and Arsenal are also in the picture ?
06 Jul 2024 09:47:06
According to reports on the BBC today, it sounds like we are trying to get the contract terminated as part of the agreement ?

I’m taking up the mantle of Villajonnys official translator ? I think the last top post should have read
Agree. Something needs to be put in place. Also, if the Blues somehow get back-to back promotions, then the plans for their stadium will look even better if they’re in the premier league. A 70,000 capacity stadium is a must for Villa and needs to happen asap unless Villa Park can be expanded to say 65 thousand.
Good post methinks
24 Nov 2024 13:12:43
I know we didn’t sign any resigning agreement when we sold him so we’d have to pay market rate or take him on loan. On balance, I’d have him back if not because we look most dangerous when we’re running at teams and our free-kick count would go up considerably ?
07 Nov 2024 00:52:54
You’re right Scottie. That performance was as crap as Reddich ???

I’m sure he’s left with a few million in his pocket so won’t be straight down the dole office. I think he was handed a poisoned chalice. God knows how many failed managers they’ve now let go in the last 10 years. I think the wind of change is finally blowing through the clubs that thought they would forever be the crème de La crème. Perhaps they are destined to be mid-table for a while. As we have seen at City (and possibly ourselves) investors with some money, a plan and the required vision can make a big impact. Even with a great squad, no-one can be complacent or automatically expect to win every game. Ratcliffe’s billions won’t buy success ?
