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

[Gareth]

I'm bored of buying teenagers. Can we go the other way and get some over-40s in instead? There must be some experienced talent around the globe. Start on Craggy Island and go from there.

Is this a sales pitch for a contract eamonn?

[Demitri_C]

Was hoping we might have 1 or 2 in for pre season but seems abit unlikely  at the mo

How dare you, I barely qualify! And am firmly anchored to the mainland (per my "Location").

The non internationals will be back in on Monday/Tuesday.

BBC
Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Aston Villa and England striker Ollie Watkins, 29, and have held tentative talks with the Midlands club who want a fee of about £60m

[olaftab]

This is clearly a  ruse to get Mbeumo signing across the line. Nothing else.

[stevo_st]

Or the next Hojland when they fail to land either

[VillaTim]

and will also push the price up for Arsenal.

[Beard82]

not sure the best place to put this - but:

"PL's Key Match Incidents panel release full list of referee errors in the 2024-25 season. Aston Villa suffered the most from decisions going against them (6). 3 teams had no errors go in their favour (Arsenal, Chelsea, Palace) Simon Hooper, highest rated referee. "

Goal difference! Or a single point. Aaarrrggghhh!!

[ASHTONVILLA]

Would anyone take Dominic Calvert Lewin on a free? If he could stay clear of injuries he’d be a very good back up for Ollie,

[DC1874]

DCL is a broken down old banger you steer clear of on the forecourt - on the subject of Emi & Ollie going to the Red Scum, are we reverting back to the late 90s version of the Villa? That turned out well didn't it?
