Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Apart from me is there any other Villa supporter still out there that saw the great Stanley Mathews play? I don't look in mirrors these days.

I did. One match was his birthday (maybe 40) and Walter Hazeldine, our youngest player presented him with a briefcase if my memeory serves me well.

The conversation about Onana, Ampadu and Kamara is academic: I don't think we'll be in the market for the Leeds player; and, he'd cost more than we'd want to pay for a back-up to Kamara.
I like Ampadu: he's decent on the ball and can play the CMF and CB role pretty well; but not for us.

Aye. Any PL based player we buy will either be in the 'young/unheralded enough to not demand a mental fee' category.

Or will slot straight into the first team to justify the PL tax.

Rashford news.

We even get a mention.

Grealish back at Man City, there is going to be a lot of unwanted loanees returning to their home club this season.

Be suprised if he doesnt sign permanently for Everton.  Did well there

Aren't the wages pretty off putting.

He is 30 and strikes me as the party years will take their toll sooner rather than later.

Yeah i think  he is on massive wages so cant see anyone buying him tbh he wpuld have to take a pay cut if he wants  a permanent  move or it will be another loan. I would consider a 12 month loan for him but thats all

Grealish did well under Deano, as he was just asked to go out and play. I don't think he would like Unai's structure
