Ruben Loftus-Cheek?
Didn't even know he was still playing.
1.) 21 Jan 2026 13:25:25
I liked him at Chelsea however he is a tad injury prone if memory serves me right
2.) 21 Jan 2026 22:01:42
Can’t say he would excite me, just another in the sancho category
3.) 22 Jan 2026 08:16:06
Have to say Whack I agree with you.
4.) 22 Jan 2026 11:30:47
At the moment we need bodies in the door and unfortunately bodies that are relatively cheap and I don’t think players that excite you come cheap. An ex England international for £15-20 million isn’t a bad deal in my view, as I said before my only concern would be fitness
5.) 22 Jan 2026 13:53:24
Agree LotM. January notoriously bad for value.
6.) 22 Jan 2026 14:03:16
The transfer fee seems ok but he would want big money, I’d rather raid the championship for an up and coming talent like we did with Roger’s, obviously Roger’s was an absolute gem and they don’t all work out like that but the risk is similar to Stirling and you won’t have to pay astronomical wages.
Liverpool certainly don’t seem likely to take Elliot back and supposedly he doesn’t want to go to the mls.
7.) 22 Jan 2026 15:05:47
With Elliott I think he has only played for us 3 times so we can play him a further 6 times without triggering the obligation to buy. He can play anywhere across the frontline, surely we could make use of him particularly tonight as Onana, Kamara, and McGinn are all out I am really surprised Emery hasn’t been able to utilise him because in my view he’s a good player.
8.) 22 Jan 2026 16:55:19
100% agree I find it weird he hasn’t squeezed a few more games out of him, I think he’s trying to send a message to Liverpool that we won’t be buying him and that’s that, maybe trying to force them into renegotiating but I genuinely think he’s doesn’t want him at any price let alone 35 million
9.) 22 Jan 2026 17:21:22
Having seen the teams I worry about tonight, particularly the Duran/Asensio link
10.) 22 Jan 2026 17:40:25
The problem with playing Elliott for even one more game is that we're basically telling Liverpool we do want/need him and they'll hold out hoping to get the £35m.
I personally don't rate him above bench cover, most of his Liverpool cameos have been either basic keep ball when winning or 'pass it to Salah'.
He made a difference for England U21s but so many players in the past have looked great at that level and not gone on to do much.
20 Jan 2026 17:44:25
Mateta the latest doing the rounds.
I'd take him over Abraham but be very surprised if this one happened.
1.) 20 Jan 2026 22:02:09
Id love to see him at villa but i'd imagine it would be very expensive and probably beyond our budget especially if we have to bring in a center midfielder. En Nesyri is another I’d like.
2.) 21 Jan 2026 09:12:59
Transfer fee would be a problem however his current contract is rumoured to be worth c£50k per week which I think would be well within our grasp +25% to make it worthwhile for him. Certainly a better use of money than some individuals we've got.
20 Jan 2026 12:20:23
Confirmed: Kamara out for the rest of the season.
The hits just keep on coming.
Feel absolutely gutted now.
A devastating blow and with McGinn's injury to be assessed this could now be turning into a crisis.
1.) 20 Jan 2026 13:57:04
This truly is bad news trinity, he is the one player in the team that we really struggle without when he don’t play, most other positions we can move guys around to accommodate. I wonder if Lindelof could do a job in the center?
2.) 20 Jan 2026 14:44:46
That's a good shout re: Lindelof and I actually said to my lad I wonder if he could slot into that role.
3.) 20 Jan 2026 18:25:30
When we played arsenal at VP didn’t Emery bring him on as a sub for the last 15-20 mins in the CDM role, I think he did. if you asked me 2 months ago I’d of said no chance he’s a donkey but he really proved himself when he got a run of games I have to say I have a new found respect for him but Kamara is a real hard act to follow.
that ref in the spurs game really buggered us, absolutely no protection from him for our players
11 Jan 2026 10:07:27
Now being reported that were after Tammy Abraham. Any substance or lazy journalism?
I think that ship has sailed tbh but if the numbers made sense then maybe there is something in it.
1.) 11 Jan 2026 10:25:53
We need another striker, no brainer for me ??♂️
UTV
2.) 11 Jan 2026 11:52:26
If we got Tammy, and Gallagher, I wouldn’t bet against us? I wonder… Athletico wanted Martinez in the summer (rumoured) so I wonder if there’s some kind of swap/swap and cash thing going to happen ??♂️
UTV
3.) 12 Jan 2026 15:11:35
It looks increasingly likely that we will se another striker join but at the expense of Malen leaving. I'd be disappointed if this one is accurate. He fits into the system we play and has quick feet and seems to interact well with Rogers and Buendia. Think he's really settled into the team now and is an asset. Surely everyone could see that on Saturday?
4.) 12 Jan 2026 17:06:31
I agree trinity, maybe things will make more sense come the end of the month
5.) 13 Jan 2026 19:05:27
I've read a number of times now in different places that Malen is concerned about his playing time and that's why he's happy to speak to/join Roma. but I can't see how he's going to be guaranteed anymore playing time there? And has been picked ahead of Watkins due to form?
I'd half understand if there was a high transfer fee being offered, but even with that it's mindless to loan him out until the summer and then bring in a bang average fee for him.
£22m? he's got to be worth close to double that.
02 Jan 2026 19:02:54
Can Dean Smith really help us out with Harvey Elliott?
Reported that Charlotte FC are considering taking him on loan which would free up funds for Villa to make moves in transfer market.
Can't imagine Liverpool will sanction this.
1.) 02 Jan 2026 20:53:07
If he’s not in the shop window he ain’t getting sold, win win for all concerned

We won.
Not sure how if I'm honest.
Salzburg youngsters looked very good.
Just ran out of steam, fortunately.
29 Jan 2026 20:54:27
That is one of the worst halves of football I've seen this season. No, it is the worst.
Elliott must be wondering what is going on.
Watkins getting injured is the icing on the cake.
29 Jan 2026 20:35:34
And there it is, the mistake from Mings.
Watkins looks injured too.
WTF is going on here?
29 Jan 2026 19:29:20
So, Elliott starts. Really pleased we're giving him a chance tonight.
Well documented his attitude has been great on the training paddock.
Time to show us what we've been missing.
UTV!
29 Jan 2026 13:48:13
Villa (and Spuds) hit with £125k fine after the FA Cup game earlier this month.
Absolute shocker. If the officials had done their job during the match there wouldn't have been any issue at the final whistle. Palhinha should have been booked for foul on Kamara and then booked again later in the game.
Again no punishment for the referee for being incompetent.
29 Jan 2026 19:33:31
72, we can dream.
Think it’s a loan unfortunately.
29 Jan 2026 15:34:57
Yes, read that earlier. It shouldn't be a surprise that he's linked to top jobs in Europe as he's one of the best in Europe.
Be gutted if he left. Fingers crossed it comes to nothing and is idle media gossip.
One thing is for sure, he wouldn't have PSR concerns there.
29 Jan 2026 15:24:58
Re: Guessand, signing him has to go down as one of the worst pieces of business we've done in recent times.
Not sure about JPM to be honest, really not sure.
This has been one difficult transfer window.
25 Jan 2026 08:11:49
Yes, I heard that too.
Agree, the lad hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s been a victim of circumstance.
Feel sorry for him.
22 Jan 2026 13:53:24
Agree LotM. January notoriously bad for value.
29 Jan 2026 11:15:09
Agree Scott, I'd like to see a strong team, however I think with the current casualty list I think Emery will juggle his resources.
We honestly can't afford many more injuries with the schedule we have.
As mentioned previously, I think the FA Cup is the one competition that we should make significant changes.
25 Jan 2026 20:09:24
There certainly seems to be a lot of movement and contact during the corners/freekicks.
Not sure there’s ever enough for it to be penalised tbh.
23 Jan 2026 09:19:25
A very good performance. Created chances, looked good defensively.
Lindelof has been an absolute revelation. A free with all his experience. Up to now has not let us down. If there was an award at the end of the season for unsung hero, he would get my vote right now.
The only concern I have is Watkins. He's not the same player we've seen for the past 3 years. He had a good pre-season but that just hasn't translated into the regular season.
20 Jan 2026 14:47:12
We all think he has total control at Villa, but I just wonder whether that has been disproved in the past week with the sale of Malen? Hence his frustrated interview.
20 Jan 2026 14:00:00
Scotty, would take him over Guessand at the moment. From what we've seen so far he is a better option.
