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

I'd have Fernandes. Firstly because I think he's an excellent player, and secondly because we don't have enough bastards on the pitch.

Don't like Fernandes but would have him at Villa like a shot. It would strengthen us, and weaken Man U. I fail to see a downside.

Would it strengthen us?  Who would he replace?

He would play where Asensio is currently residing. We lose Rogers to the right side more but I feel Ratty's scoring / assisting / penalty winning would more then make up for it.

There’s logic there, but I’d prefer the expense was focused on a RW with Rogers returning to the AMC role.  I feel the net gain would be greater, assuming we dont have a money tree.

If the money is there, I think we should look at a 'number 10' and a right sided attacker this summer.  I honestly think that Rogers' best position is on the left and that him and Ramsey could rotate well there over tje course of a season. 

I think we need genuine pace in those two attacking positions, si that would be a key aspect of players I'd be looking at.

🚨💣 NEW: Aston Villa have approached Lille keeper Lucas Chevalier as a designated replacement in the event of Emi Martínez’s departure.

He was decent against us.

I'm sure Emery'll get a tune out of him.

We'll be going from Emi to Mimi.

Think he's also not far from being France's first choice keeper.

I'd rather keep Emi, but if that's doesn't happen this feels like the sort of replacement that would make it not a disaster.

Seems like we want someone who can be our no.1 for the next 10 years. Someone who still has their peak years ahead of them.

No. There must be a good Uruguayan goalkeeper.

I reckon Muslera is the only one they'll every produce and he'll still be going when he's 70.

[AV84]

Seems an insult to replace Martinez with a French man!

🚨 Aston Villa are monitoring Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

Would have though Amorim would be after him for next season being as he has experienced a relegation fight already so should be used to it.

You'll know they're in trouble when they sign Jordan Ayew.

If you'd told me when he played for us, what, ten years ago that he'd still be getting PL games somewhere a decade later, I'd have thought you were fucking mental.
