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

[Tuscans]

Don’t start a thread TV!

Which exciting transfer was TV wholly responsible for fucking up last time?

Legend Joe Bryant. And Loic Bade was reported by a number of journalists until it fell through as he didn’t want to come and fight for his place.

You’re all welcome

People shat themselves when you started a Malen one.

It's not entirely fair, but you'll have to accept that you're considered the Michael Fish of Villa transfer forecasting.

Mid table mediocrity was Michael Fish. Pretty much sums Villa in the time I’ve been on here. All my posts considered, not just transfers, some highs, some lows, I think I’ve been bang average mostly. I’m like Chris Tavare or someone equally boring. But also have some Ian Botham 6’s in there starting Emi, Rogers, Ollie and Emery to name a few. I’ll dine out on those.

On the basis that our latest signing is for a position that we have a number of players, I am wondering Whois onthe way out.
I hope it’s Bailey.

Ahead of Ramsey for sure.  We should cut our losses on Buendia as well.

[ozzjim]

Someone more accountancy inclined can answer I am sure, but surely Bailey and Buendia are now essentially paid off the books so anything we get for them should go into the black, plus remove their wages. So even if we got say £20M for Bailey and £12M for Buendia, it would be better than them kicking about Villa Park for a season not playing.

I might be wrong, but whilst selling Buendia helps domestic PSR, and wages, I think that because he was in the European “A” squad then him going doesn’t help make space in the Europa League squad. Bailey though would.

If Ramsey were to leave, that would leave us with noone in the four club trained spaces.

And while last season he was the only one, leaving three empty spaces it would be a bit of a shame if we had nobody.

Well we had to sell all the club trained players to be the football accountancy manager game.

This month, Villa confirmed the €5m signing of Modou Keba Cisse from Austrian side LASK, edging out France’s Troyes for his services and so keeping the 19-year-old out of the clutches of the City Football Group (CFG), which owns the Ligue 2 side. He will be loaned back to LASK for the coming season.

Cisse only joined them last July from the Be Sport Academy in Senegal and didn’t make his league debut until February, so the data available on him is a much lower sample size than some of the other young additions mentioned in this article, but Villa’s checks indicate there’s something promising about him.]

Something which I'd not seen mentioned, his usual centre-back partnership at LASK is with Lamar Bogarde's older brother Melayro.

Grealish could fill that spot........

[garyellis]

Well there will be a central defender added at some stage.
Wonder if we will bring Disasi back on loan at the end of the window?

[London Villan]

Desasi - fine as a centre half but dreadful full-back - which Unai seemed to prefer!

I highly doubt it

From the very limited footage I've seen of him so far, he seems to be playing predominantly on the left or in a more central area.  A replacement for Bailey would be on the right.
