Seen on sky sports app today that Brighton are monitoring Bogarde as a replacement for baleba, would be a shame to lose him but if it meant not selling any first team stars for psr at the end of the season it wouldn't be to bad for the immediate future, that said I had seen him as a future replacement for kamara whenever he leaves, retires or whatever.
what's everyone's thoughts?
Rather keep him for the future?
Sell him?
If so how much?
Take into consideration that Brighton want 100 million for Baleba.

I’d keep him, apart from the fee they were suggesting being low (£25 million) his salary costs aren’t that high and his ability to play several positions are a plus. Having said the fee for Bogarde is too low that’s in the context of the £100 million Brighton want for Baleba.
He is a decent player but £100 million never, if he is worth £100 million what price Rogers?

That guy Enzo we got from juve is ripping it up on loan, reports are describing him as 1 of the best CM in Europe right now, bad news for us as reports state he's only a couple of appearances away from a permanent move for what's described as peanuts, looks like we might have lost out with him, the signs we there that he had quality but instead we paid 50 million for Onana, these are the things putting us under financial pressure, I hope the new guy has a good eye for talent and I hope these young players get game time or we are just wasting our time.

Tielemans out for another 5 weeks apparently, that's going to hurt us he is one of the most important players imo

Diogo costa rumour circulating also. don't know anything about lammens but Costa is among the best in Europe I'd rather him to be honest, god only knows what our team will look like come Wednesday, going to be a busy finish to the window

Whack, window closes today at 7pm not tomorrow.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 18:05:32
Lol what’s that got to do with the price of turnips?

Here's a positive outlook for those disappointed with lack of signings.
If any premier league team signed Watkins Martinez and rogers it would be hailed as a brilliant window, same goes for us keeping them.
1.) 04 Aug 2025 06:52:17
Totally agree.
I would also add that Watkins having a break to recover looks almost like a new signing going into the new season.

Emery needs to light a fire under everyone at half time, 10 shots 1 on target, messing about way to much at the back we are going to get punished, need to move the ball faster and get Watkins off the pitch he's as useful as a chocolate teapot
1.) 11 Feb 2026 22:39:37
Whack, Watkins gets worse every game and Abrahams is definitely not the answer. Whoever sanctioned the Malen move wants shooting. Sancho, Dougie Bailey Abrahams are not the answer to our problems and again our transfer policy is definitely not helping matters. Guessand was our highest cost recent singing and that sums up our recruitment policy.

That midfield does not give me much confidence that we can create enough chances to win enough games for top 5, a draw is not the worst result but we had no control in midfield, Onana good defensively but he gives the ball away too much going forward for my liking, very unfortunate to have maginn, YT and Kamara all injured at the same time we look a shadow of ourselves without them, YT is probably the biggest miss with his distribution and chance creation.
anyone know how many more weeks him and maginn are missing?
1.) 07 Feb 2026 21:10:08
I think Mcginn is out for another 5 weeks and YT 8 weeks I'm afraid
07 Feb 2026 13:26:55
If ever we needed a win it's today, United are really reeling us in big time. can we do it? Not so sure, we had some really great results this season but when the pressure has come on we haven't performed as well as we could, tough place to go aswel so whatever players we have are going to have to be at the top of their game.
a hopeful 1-2 victory for me ?
02 Feb 2026 00:45:02
So the boss says our transfer window is done, opinions on the business we done?
I'll probably still check the sports app 20 times tomorrow to be sure ?
01 Feb 2026 15:19:24
Where's the pictures to prove the ball went out and was a clear and obvious error?
14 Feb 2026 06:41:19
This would be great if we could wrangle it, I do think there are some restrictions though, I’d imagine it’s a bit like selling the stadium and the women’s team where we had to stick to market value. I do think we will have a juicy sponsorship deal if we can get top 5
11 Feb 2026 20:24:08
Yep because Emery rang around all the news outlets and informed them what he’s planning to do in the summer. or maybe it’s just made up rubbish. every tabloid going will try sell Roger’s in every window, yet not one bid we have received for him
07 Feb 2026 18:11:50
I think Mings has to take some responsibility for it aswel he gave him 2 much space to shoot, he does give better support to Martinez for corners and set piece into the box but defending in open play he’s not good enough for the PL.
feel sorry for Lindelof he was playing better than both Mings and Torres when he lost his place. it’s going to be a long few weeks waiting for tielemans to come back. missed maginn tenacity big time aswel
07 Feb 2026 13:29:41
Good post scotty I have to agree, time to roll up our sleeves. on the plus side Bournemouth at home will come at us so hopefully leave some space to get in behind them
31 Jan 2026 14:12:47
???
14 Feb 2026 06:35:11
100% agree Scot, there are probably a few things working against us, i'd imagine the price goes up when clubs have teams that play in Europe interested in their players, then you have playing time to consider, players who go to the likes of Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth etc know they will get more first team chances than at Villa, but they usually move on quickly if they show their quality. Look at the fees the big six pay for players they don’t get to many bargains, compare ours then and most of our team cost under 30 per player apart from Buendia and Maatsen, 95% of them cost less than 20, then you have bargains like maginn under 5 million, Kamara and tielemans for free, I’d say if you added all our players up to get the average player cost we are well under 20 million per player, pretty incredible when you consider what other big clubs are paying, unfortunately they have the revenue to afford it.
I do agree about some of our recruitment and if we can improve it there’s no limit to what we can achieve we just need to be consistent getting Europe which will expand the fan base worldwide and get our stadium expanded, it’s just going to take time.
1 thing we have majorly improved on is our weekend results after playing in Europe midweek, I haven’t heard the phrase “European hangover” once this season and that tells me we are getting that “big club” mentality. be consistent and we will get there?
12 Feb 2026 09:38:06
We’re not deluded saying our midfield is poor, obviously the injured players are a huge part of this, nothing we can do about what players we can use but they need to improve, onana good defensively but nearly every pass forward goes to the opposition, Luiz is too slow with the final ball, Buendia has gone missing since the Newcastle game, Roger’s can’t do it all on his own, sancho is actually the only one improving at the minute, him and Roger’s have some chemistry starting to show.
12 Feb 2026 09:31:15
Definitely miss him, it’s true he’s not at his best every single game but he has way more good games than bad ones I’d give him a 3 or 4:1 ratio.
12 Feb 2026 09:23:54
What’s he done now menace?
11 Feb 2026 22:02:12
It was very poor trinity, players walking around all second half, we look jaded and Luiz looks like he hadn’t a clue what to do with the ball, Bogard good defensively but offers nothing else as a fullback.
they say the best teams find a way to win when not at their best so that’s the bit of positivity I’m going to latch onto ? horrible game but massive MASSIVE 3 points.
