Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Yeah, it's weird. This time last year I would have been in favour of getting him out the door for the more exciting Moreno especially after seeing how the latter linked with Ramsey in early 2023.

But now, I think I'd prefer to keep Luca even if he's earning twice as much money as Alex.

With the players now back, only Maatsen and Onana seem to be stick on starters for the West Ham game. I can't see Barrenechea, Illing or Barkley starting.

Me too, last season Digne was one our many stand out players. He’s was fantastic, I really hope he stays.

I would imagine we'll be mostly playing a team that could have played last season, but perhaps with Ramsey, Maatsen and Onana coming in.

Aston Villa can confirm that Kaine Kesler Hayden has joined Preston North End on loan. 🟣

Was just about to put on the match thread that he's not there either.

Think Konsa's a right back next season.

Yeah I reckon that’s it, but then we certainly have to get a far superior player to Carlos.

[SaddVillan]

Unai & Co have had a good look at some of our youngsters in the various friendlies and look to have decided who to put out on loan. Expect a number of Academy players to be loaned out as we go along.

Pretty sure that we'll see a couple or three more senior players go too, with replacements coming in: central defender, forward and an attacking central midfielder.

[JUAN PABLO]

Bogarde could stay then ?

I was really hoping he would be in the plans for this year. 21yo and already a bunch of loan spells.. Hopefully we're still busy in the transfer market.

Bogarde could stay then ?

He's quite versatile so can offer cover for CDM, CB & RB. And with his electric pace, especially useful for getting up & down the flank, he might have shown Emery in pre-season that he is worth keeping as squad cover.

And if he pushes on really quickly, he could become to the RB slot what Konsa offers, allowing Konsa to switch back to CB.

But either way, he's cover for right sided CB, CDM & RB.

Good luck, KKH. Make the best of it.

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is keeping an eye on the Diego Carlos situation at Aston Villa [@ExWHUEmployee] #avfc

Do you think that West Ham thinks it's...Buy one, get one free

[Dante Lavelli]

I’d take £50m for the pair.

I reckon all parties would do pretty well out of considering the differing priorities.
