2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Dave]

Anyone who moved from Fioerntina to Juve is a wrong un in my book, Kosovo doesn't come in to it.

Harsh on Bobby Baggio.

[LeeB]

Lots of footballers have a lot of dodgy views. Anyone who moved from Fioerntina to Juve is a wrong un in my book, Kosovo doesn't come in to it.

That's fine, there are lots of other clubs for them to play for.

[AV84]

I'm sure there's questionable political beliefs at most clubs already, Villa is no exception, but someone who openly professes them during a time of active conflict is probably better off somewhere else.

'Political beliefs'? We're not talking about somebody still in favour of water privatisation here.

Supposedly looking at Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.

Looks like Chelsea and Real are also looking into his situation.. would be insane if we were to pull something like that off.

Vlahovic is better than Kane ... at free kicks! But seriously he's good just been failed by the team and tactics at Juve.
I think if he came to the Prem he would thrive and be back to scoring goals like he did before his Juve move. Blame Juve more than DV as he is an excellent striker in my eyes.

No fascists, nobody genocide-adjacent, no nothing like that. Villa are something of a national team for Birmingham, an exceptionally diverse city with a lot of Muslim people in it, and anybody who has anything to do with any of that Serb racial imperialism can't represent them.

So we can't have Serb nationalists who want Serbia to claim an area with lots of Muslims as their own play for us because we've claimed an area with lots of Muslims (admittedly more of whom are on board) as our own (and on top of that we now have bogus self-important notions of nationhood so presumably Coventry will need to up its defence spending)?

Lots of Muslims in Birmingham are against homosexuality. Can they be part of this Villa nation conceit?

Elanga going to Forest. Does that free up Johnson to leave...

[OCD]

Diaby, Doku AND Johnson?

[Villatillidie25]

i'm going to assume it's Diaby and Johnson or Doku...

Elanga going to Forest. Does that free up Johnson to leave...

I saw a tweet about Johnson signing a new contract  at Forest the other day. I admit I just scrolled past without paying much attention.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Genoa not happy that we may be 'meddling' with their deal for Mateo Retegui. I hope we are but we're cutting it really fine, they have everything approved and hoped to sign him today.

Are you hearing anything, Monty?

Can't find anything in Gazzetta, they're pretty much just profiling the player and what he might bring.

Of course, as it's Genoa I wish them nothing but curses and epithets.

[LeeB]

Any particular reason for the ire?

Venice-Genoa thing. They didn't like each other 800 years ago and around here that's more than enough.

Also, charlatan, Serb nationalism in Kosovo involves genocide denial. There it is.

[Footy-Vill]

There were links with midfielder from Barcelona González but appears he's going to Porto
