Reports suggest we have had an offer of 30 million refused for attacking midfielder Otavio. don't know anything about this guy
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?
1.) 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?
2.) 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
3.) 26 May 2022 17:34:38
AVFC official site confirms he has agreed to join Villa.
4.) 26 May 2022 17:36:26
£26mill is fairly reasonable for his age, any more and we should have walked away.
5.) 26 May 2022 17:42:30
Fab player if so! And another great bit of business done early! ???
6.) 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.
7.) 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!
8.) 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
12 May 2022 02:38:14
Reports suggest that couthinho has signed permanently.
1.) 12 May 2022 17:36:21
I stand corrected - according to The Guardian a 20m Euro (£17.2m) deal has been agreed for Coutinho.
2.) 12 May 2022 19:46:51
100% confirmed, seems figure is €20 which for me makes it a really good piece of business!
Welcome Phil onwards and upwards and great statement of intent especially getting it done already! Full pre season with us!
3.) 12 May 2022 20:01:53
Menace Coutino now officially a Villa player as per AVFC site.
4.) 12 May 2022 22:31:52
Great piece of business. Other quality players are likely to follow given his commitment to the club. I think we’ll also see much more of his real talent now he has a permanent home - being on loan must be unsettling for a player of his quality, especially after the way things didn’t work for him at Barca.
30 Jan 2022 22:31:08
Looks like trez is off to turkey
1.) 31 Jan 2022 09:32:21
Just as he scores the winner to put Egypt into the AFCON semi finals ?
22 Jan 2022 21:01:56
So Rodrigo bentancur is a player we are after according to a few reports, have to admit I know very little about him, has anyone got an informed opinion on this guy?
1.) 22 Jan 2022 23:26:00
I presume that if this is true that the move for Bissouma is dead
2.) 23 Jan 2022 16:26:49
I'd imagine so but was bissoma ever realistically going to happen in January, my opinion is he wants a big move in the summer and we would of just wasted the whole window chasing him
3.) 23 Jan 2022 18:32:16
There is a question mark over his character as well. I'm not too disappointed that we seem to have moved on. He would have cost a lot too. It's all money we can't spend elsewhere with FFP.

Anyone else getting impatient? We need to get a few more pieces of business done soon
1.) 28 Jun 2022 00:46:38
I agree Whack. Getting a bit unnerved as some of our supposed ‘targets’ look to be going elsewhere and, despite our early promising activity, we still need strong signings in key positions ?
2.) 28 Jun 2022 10:20:59
We need to be prepared to be patient you can’t get all your deals over the line as quickly as you might want. I’d rather wait and get the right player than move onto someone else not quite as good but available now. Obviously I don’t know but given the rumours it appears we are interested in Conor Gallagher but Chelsea want to assess him pre season, given the strength of the Chelsea midfield it’s unlikely he will be a regular starter therefore if we are interested I think we have a real chance of landing him but patience will be the key.
3.) 28 Jun 2022 11:13:38
Apparently our alleged interest in Soucek is also cooling. Why it would when he is affordable is beyond me. I agree that it is worrying that our proposed signings are finding other avenues to pursue while we seem to have run out of breath in the transfers race.
4.) 28 Jun 2022 11:50:03
Agreed Loti, it's going to be a long summer for people who buy into the paper talk and then get disappointed when we don't sign them. If there's one thing we've learnt, it's that Villa like to do their deals quietly and effectively with minimal fuss. We do things properly and to your point, will only push for the right deals, not get drawn into protracted bidding wars with agents and do things publicly. Long may it continue. Let's judge the effort in the market when the season starts. We've already done some pretty good business nice and early.
5.) 28 Jun 2022 12:22:49
Most footballers are still on holiday, (especially jack) i think things will start to move again in the next couple of weeks ahead of the start of the pre season games. I don't think Phillips or Bissouma were ever going to join us, so we need to focus on players that will.
6.) 28 Jun 2022 23:00:12
Think we need to be patient, we haven't even kicked a ball pre-season yet - We'll get the LB, No.8 and forward we need before the season starts.
16 Jun 2022 09:41:20
So looking at the fixtures, we have a good chance to get good points on the board in august if we hit the ground running.
Christmas looking tough with Liverpool and spurs, both of them again then in 2 of our last 3 games of the season.
1.) 16 Jun 2022 09:56:44
Hope we get some early points since we’ve got Arsenal and Man City within 4 days at the end of Aug/ beginning of Sept ?
27 May 2022 09:47:58
I'm getting greedy now but I'd like Stefan de vrij and Bassey in next, sell mings and keep konsa and bassey to learn their trade and take over from Carlos and de vrij in a few years, but that's being a bit far fetched lol one can always wish ??
1.) 28 May 2022 12:38:29
Would love that! And still got chambers as the i between as cover!
22 May 2022 21:12:13
Would of being nice to win today but rubbish season all in all, the teams finishing behind us were all diabolical, huge work needed to get into top 10 let alone Europe. didn't see the game but from highlights I thought Olsen was awful and it might of being much different with emi in goal, what was wrong with him? Out of the loop today with work commitments
19 May 2022 01:28:34
Borre and kostic from Frankfurt look pretty useful if they could be tempted to the premier league.
1.) 19 May 2022 16:55:36
I thought Calvin Bassey looked useful I saw we were linked with him a few days ago and thought who is he! Just goes to show there are decent players north of the border who could probably make the transition to premiership football although I guess given our experience with John McGinn I shouldn’t be surprised
2.) 19 May 2022 22:17:19
Yeh he looks like he has potential, strong lad also, I’m sure we’ll be linked with half the rangers team all summer.
We definitely need a CB now with konsa injured and hause most likely out the door.
08 Jun 2022 23:29:03
In favour of another player or is he satisfied with his midfield options now ?
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.
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 22:10:34
I agree with most lord but trez and AEG will be on the 5 million group.
26 May 2022 19:40:25
And Chuck.
23 Jun 2022 21:29:52
I have to agree scotty. said it last week, if we could get 20+ million it would be great business
18 Jun 2022 23:59:14
Id rather see maginn playing further forward than Doug, Doug is ok he’s a decent player but he’s not going to bring us to a higher level no matter where he plays imo, if we got 25 million for him I’d be pretty pleased, I don’t think we will get that much for him though, he makes a lot of mistakes and his dead balls are terrible most of the time, I’d sooner sell and buy another defensive midfielder.
18 Jun 2022 08:56:21
Yes please ?
16 Jun 2022 09:31:16
Yep 100% mate
15 Jun 2022 22:12:45
2 more signings would make me happy, left back cover and another midfielder or winger
