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

Given the constraints we have to now work under. It would be a really convenient time for some of the youngsters to step up into the first team squad. The Europa League would give an ideal opportunity to blood a few of them. Unfortunately I'm not aware that any are ready.

Assuming we can move on or loan out, Buendia, Dendonker, Barrenechea, Barry, Moreno, Nedejkovic, Bogarde, Dobin & Iling-Junior. We won't lose anything from our first choice squad. Only Bogarde made any notable contribution last season.

As a minimum we'll need a right side centre back, a number 10 & a first choice wide attacker.

I think that is a tad harsh on Nedejkovic and Barrenechea both of whom performed well in pre season and had very successful loan spells at a good level.

Nedejkovic was replaced mid-season by Garcia, according to the Athletic the club are actively trying to flog him.

They didn't contribute anything to our season, which is the point.

True. Realistically we're looking to reduce the wage bill by reducing the size of the squad with players who played no part last season.

[Drummond]

If we're looking to move Barranechea on, it suggests Kamara, Onana, Barkley and Tielemans are going nowhere.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Maybe a loan for Dougie but yeah, hopefully we'll be keeping our midfield core.

[JUAN PABLO]

Aston Villa can confirm that Kosta Nedeljković has joined RB Leipzig on a season-long loan.


no cash for him then ,  well maybe Matty

Why sign him in the first place, then? Same goes for Barrenchea.

Looking at rumoured fees for the latter, we're not even making much money out of the deal (if it's true).

Our right hand side options are very weak currently.

It is why I can't be too optimistic for what we're going to do next season.

RB has Cash, Garcia and Bogarde?! Unless Garcia is going to get a run of games and be amazing that is weaker than previous seasons as we don't have credible back up for Konsa so he needs to stay at RCB.

Less said about what we have right wing the better.

If we look at our competitors Newcastle have Livramento at RB and added Elanga ahead of him. Forest signed Aina to new deal last week and Spurs adding Kudus to their wide options. For the stick he gets it is worth noting Brennan Johnson scored 18 goals across competitions for Spurs last season. Bailey managed two.

I know it has been done to death but these financial compliance issues really do feel that they are in place to hinder any team that shows a modicum of ambition.

And i am sure posters will point out that the scum like Redfilth, City and Chelsea have technically not done anything wrong but it is sickening that they just carry on regardless.

Makes me wonder why anyone else actually bothers

The only way to overcome the odds is to buy cheap or to develop your own & sell for a profit. But that takes time, patience & a bit of good luck. As far as I know, they've not yet come up with anything to restrict teams doing that, but I'm sure they will in the event it ever becomes a possibility.

Us having Emery and Monchi makes the above a realistic target. They’re both Grade A at what they do and appear to be aligned in their thinking.  Most other clubs dont have that and their approach is likely to be more scatter gun and reliant on luck. 

Over time we can close the gap.  Whilst at the same time the income should increase as “Championship/relegation candidate” contracts expire.

Ramsey, Konsa, Tielemans, Kamara, Rogers, Watkins, McGinn and Big Emi all fall into that category. But none of us want us to sell them.

We did it with Dougie, Duran, Kellyman, Carney, A Ramsey, Archer, Philogene, KKH.

[VILLA MOLE]

I am on holiday this week and away , i demand we sign a number of  players.
