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

[Drummond]

If true, it's a good return a year after we signed him. So much for us having our pants pulled down by Juventus.

[ROBBO]

I would take Grealish on loan so long as City were paying fifty percent of his wages.

and his bar tab.

He'd probably be lose to being our top paid player even at that. No thanks.

£8m loan for 4 goals and 2 assists in 2 years. Are you mad?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Francisco Conceição is still available until tomorrow for £25m from Porto, thereafter the fee rises to €45m. Juventus want him but don't have the money, Everton do and he turned them down. As much as I hate the little shithead for stamping on Ramsey's foot, I may have different feelings if he were to wear a Villa shirt.

Right winger, 22 years old, already tonnes of experience, £25m seems a bargain for a position we're desperate to fill.

[ASHTONVILLA]

I’d like to see Grealish back, wasted at that mortuary of individualism.

50% uplift on Barrenechea is good business. When you at far Luiz’s star has fallen at Juve, it seems the deal we did was not so bad after all.

He's the one player I wanted this summer. Thought he was terrific at Villa Park and adds something totally different for us.

[Demitri_C]

He would be worth it because i do think if he does well in england the sharks will circle and we could double that 25m easy.

Im suprised unai isnt interested considering  how good he was against us

[VILLA MOLE]

who on here is monitoring Brum Airport for flights of new signings ?  come on shake a leg

[algy]

Have the people that think it's a low fee ever seen him play?

I'm not quite sure why he's apparently rated as highly as he is on here.  Admiteddely I've never seen him play, so I could be grossly underestimating the guy ...

But he's 24 years old.  In that time he's played 3 games for Juventus, been a regular at relegation candidates Frosinone in Serie A, and then been a squad player at mid-table Valencia in La Liga.  Everything suggests that he's a bottom-half player in Spain or Italy, with no evidence to suggest that he'll adapt to the game in England.  And as he's 24, he's not going to get much better than he is right now.

He's nowhere near our first team, and IMO €15m seems quite a good price for a player we paid €7m for 12 months ago and is clearly not going to make it with us.

^^ Good points, but he has been called up to the Argentina squad.

[Sexual Ealing]

So has Buendia.

[Percy McCarthy]

I really like Buendia.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hmm.. Juventus were very reluctant to let him go, he was never a squad player at Valencia once they replaced the coach who was hell bent on relegating them. I could go on but guess Algy is trying to convince himself the lads crap which is understandable given most have never seen him play.

Reports this morning suggest Forest think he could adapt to the PL..
