Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[JUAN PABLO]

Someone's forgotten Nicklas Helenius.

It still gets me Angry that he literally had his shorts pulled down by a spurs defender in the box and didn't get a penalty.

I know,   a shirt pull is  a yellow card so pulling someones pants down isnt far from sexual assault     Pen and Red def

[Footy-Vill]

If Unai thinks he can get a tune out of him, then I'm all for it, simply because we know the talent is there - it's just whether Unai can find a way to unleash it properly.

I'd also throw into the above, that Emery does seem to be a proper forward-whisperer. Not just with Villa - getting Bailey, Watkins, Duran and Rogers to levels that they could only dream of before, but also beforehand.

At Villarreal, the one season he had with Danjuma he became one of the best wingers in Europe. As soon as he has no Emery to help him, he's plodding around Spurs and Everton reserves. He turned (the solid, unspectacular) Gerard Moreno, Kevin Gameiro and Carlos Bacca into 30 goal-a-season strikers, something they'd never done before or since at that level.

He just seems to do something to forwards and if he reckons that he can harness that with Felix, I'm quite interested to see how.

And yes, I accept it would be nice if he did it again to Bailey.

Nicolas Jackson

Nicolas Jackson

Not so much. He only played a handful of times under Emery, and really kicked on under Setien after Emery joined us.

[Goldenballs]

Felix would be an unbelievable signing.

[Drummond]

Marco Asensio still on the radar.....

[Chris_Jephcott]

Ever time I hear that name, I think of a Harry Potter spell

[Tuscans]

Aston Villa believe they can offer Sverre Nypan a persuasive package & potentially offer more regular & immediate first-team football.

His name is popping up a lot and he is supposed to be a top talent.

This in spite of the fact that he's clearly fictional.

[paul_e]

He'd be a superb signing. 8 goals and 7 assists in 28 whilst playing mostly as a centre mid is a fantastic record. From his highlights he reminds me of Tielemans at that age (with maybe a little extra pace).

[Sexual Ealing]

He sounds like a description of a particularly nasty hangover.

Compared to last season, we have become very narrow.

Bailey is currently out of form and moves inside too much. Our threat down the left has almost disappeared. Too much pressure on Rogers bursting through the congested middle to create anything.

We need an 'out and out' quality left winger. Despite Southampton being crap, Sulemana has shown potential. Antoine Sememyo of Bournemouth can play up front (left, right or centre) and might also be worth checking out.

Ramsey flatters to deceive. Hardly any goals, assists or continuity. If anything, he gets in Rogers way!!

Probably be for the summer now but I would sell Ramsey and invest in an 'out and out' left winger. Give us some width.

When was the last time we had a good left winger???

[Tuscans]

Chelsea keep working on outgoings as Aston Villa have sent official bid for Axel Disasi.

Loan proposal with fee + salary coverage, up to Chelsea.

Fuck it, let’s get Nico Williams, sell him the dream.

About ten months ago?
