Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[LeeB]

That's it now, a monster will appear and rip any hope for the new season from you.

[Nii Lamptey]

Almost certainly complete and utter bollocks, but seeing a lot of smoke of Tielemans to Villa.

Cannot see this happening for the life of me, but even he would turn to shit under this shambles. No amount of strengthening will make a difference until the manager is dispensed with.

[Dave]

Conor Gallagher for a Barkley-esque fee. Though more likely Ruben Loftus Cheek.

Loftus-Cheek has played every Chelsea match this season.

That doesn't scream "loan him out"

[Goldie.7]

Probably why they only have 7 points from 15 . Awful player.

[eamonn]

Telemans would be potentially fantastic. Where are these links coming from?

[sid1964]

Telemans - would be fantastic, but he will have far better options than to sign for us

We are not a very attractive proposition at the moment

It is so disheartening and the season has only just started.

[Dick Edwards]

I'm going mental here trying to think of the name of the lad we brought in on the last day of a window from Spurs. Pretty sure it was a loan. Can anyone help? It was during the long doldrum years under Lambert or McLeish.

Anyway, whoever he was, I think we should get him back. He knows the club.

Wasn't it Simon Dawkins?

Eleven years ago today we signed Jermaine Jenas on loan from Spurs. McLeish would have been manager then I think.

Zero chance of Tielemans, no smoke at all. Apart from a few kids on Twitter.

Like he would give up European football and a massive pay hike for us. 😂

Especially to play full back.

That's the worry really.  Any potential new recruits will be looking at our poor form, the fact the manager who signed them might well be gone within a few weeks and just the general negative vibes associated with the club at the moment.

Most villa thing ever


On 3 December, Jenas started his first game for Villa against Manchester United. While playing, he tripped over his own feet and suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury

No rumours, not a peep, diddly squat, zilch, nada sweet fanny adams.

Not true, actually: Elmohamady is heading back here to work as a coach.

We signed Benteke, Hutton and Abraham on this day too.


Oh and from Villa Analytics on Twitter....

Today marks 10 years since Aston Villa last signed a player that was later sold for a profit as both Ashley Westwood and Christian Benteke joined the club.

In that time 68 players have joined, 48 of which have already left. Not one for more than we paid. £590m spent, £420m net.
