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

[Anthenagin]

Dave could be a replacement for SJM if we sold him.

Not sure my knees are up to it.

I can only blame the heat and my advanced age for suggesting you could do a job at 6, 8 or 10 Sir. A real brain fart, I meant to say Dougie. I’m probably putting 2 + 2 to make a lot more but I was mixing the Everton/ SJM rumours with (and wanting) Dougie to return.

🚨 NEW: Fenerbahçe have started discussions to sign Leon Bailey.

Great news. Leon would be bargain at £40M for them.

[Clampy]

I wonder what will happen with Harvey Elliot? Thinking about it, he'd be a good fit I think.

If they haggle well, they might be able to get him for €40m.

Have seen a few spurious click bait links to Dougie and Jack

For me , I would have  both back at the right price (£25m touted for Doug, loan for Jack)

Not sure where we are headed this window but would take them both back if it was at the right price

Is Monchi taking some time out to help his old club avoid liquidation?

If we can’t spend money then yes, I’m all in for these two.

The problem buying domestically is the PL premium price and if we need to end the summer with a credit balance from transfer activity, I can't see us shopping in England for players who we want to make an immediate impact next season.

🚨 NEW: Al-Hilal made an enquiry for Ollie Watkins earlier this week.

I'd be disappointed with Ollie if that interested him. Though I'd rather take £100 million from them than £40 million from Arsenal, obviously.

[Sexual Ealing]

I'd imagine they're attracted by all the work he does near the oil.

On the BBC Sports app, the top story on the Aston Villa tab for the last several days has been "All you need to know for Kendrick Lamar and SZA gig."
I am old, but now I feel older.

[tony scott]

All a lot of Podcasters think we will get more players in towards the end of the window, apart from a keeper I’m beginning to have my doubts.

[London Villan]

A couple of loans might be more likely. Back up to Olllie and central defender.
