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

Bailey, a gambling addict? Who's been telling you that?

Just something I heard. Could be complete bollocks, maybe there's an element of truth to it...who knows. Whether it is or not, Emery seemed to decide sometime ago that it was time to move him on.

My ex-wife accused me of being a gambling addict. I said ‘bet you  a tenner I’m not’!

My ex-wife accused me of being a gambling addict. I responded by not taking out the bins when she dropped the hint.

Arsenal and Aston Villa are eyeing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, 25, with the Serie A club expected to ask for around £42m for the Serbian. (Fichajes - in Spanish)

I dont think Asensio has been great last 4/5 matches but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we have a deal for him, he's not going to get his PSG wages anywhere but Saudi and UE has tried to get him before. A lot of players coming from overseas struggle initially with the PL, its just that he's done it in a bit of an arse about face way.

Ugh, not this guy again. Arsenal can have him. Play him alongside Partey, then wonder why people don't like them.

I can’t see him dropping from 300k to 100k, so the only way it’ll happen is if PSG pay-off part of the contract.  Given his age, and likely cost, I think we would be focusing elsewhere.  Furthermore Asensio solves a problem that doesn’t exist, we’re well stocked for 10s with Rogers, McGinn, Tielemans, Ramsey and even Buendia. I doubt we will have the luxury of spending big here and for a winger, which is a more pressing problem.

🚨🧨 Aston Villa are looking to sign at least one goalkeeper this summer — they expect to trade heavily again & will consider offers for Emi Martínez if they can sign a younger alternative of similar ability.

🚨 It is believed Emi Martínez has held talks with Gestifute, the company run by super agent Jorge Mendes, in recent times.

🚨🧨 Aston Villa need to make at least one significant sale before June 30th to ensure they stay in line with Premier League spending rules.

Bailey

Wouldn't be overly surprised if Kamara was already in talks elsewhere. He's going to have a lot of admirers and a huge PSR positive sadly for us. Onana has been a disappointment this season really but might be seen as a ready made replacement like Tielemans was for Luiz. Tielemans after this season will have loads of admirers too after getting back to his best but must be years in the Midlands now so hopefully very happy where he is.

We sold our ready made replacement for Watkins in January. So will have to go to the market to replace him. I think he might have missed the boat with the Arsenal move in any case. Martinez obviously would have loads of admirers, Athletico under Simeone an obvious fit but I'd love him to stay and show his best form again next season. Ramsey, I think we would be crazy to consider any bids.

It's an utterly bonkers system, PSR. Incentivises experienced players running down their contracts and academy farms which are hardly in the best interests of young players.

Would be a phenomenal achievement for Emery to deliver CL football again for next season in light of our financial constraints.

The players out on loan should cover this and we must have some left from the Duran sale...

It'll be lowball season for us this summer.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

How and why?

Purely in terms of selling a key player I mean. Can't imagine there's going to be many clubs clamoring to offer our asking price on someone if they know we're up against it.

[LeeB]

It's not troubled us so far has it?

We appear to be fully on top of this shit, I'd imagine we've already got a deal for someone ready to go, and as suggested earlier my guess would be Bailey off to Saudi.

I think it's helped we had a spare striker worth 60mill we could shift this year. 

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I do wonder how long it is before we're forced to sell someone we simply can't replace.
