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

[Villatillidie25]

He’s garbage. I know we’ve tried a couple of times with youngsters that haven’t worked but we were also pretty heavily linked to Hickey and Kayode (& probably others) who have gone on to do pretty well so maybe we’ve just missed the mark slightly. If Emerson royale is the answer though, god knows what the question is, even if it’s just as a cheap ish back up

[dr.chekov]

My Flamengo supporting friend also thinks he's utter shit and is extremely happy someone is willing to buy him

SSN: Aston Villa have said, with interest from several clubs, that they have no intention of selling Morgan Rogers.

This needs to seen by a wider audience and noted.

Pretty sure we'll sell him and we're just going through the motions.  It all feels very much like Jack Grealish denial to me.

I do tend to agree.
It has a feeling of inevitability about it, although I think it will be on our terms and we will get maximum value out of a deal.

I have for month - would love to be wrong - but think this is all about making it clear that we wont be selling him cheap

[Clampy]

So far, all we have to go on is about Rogers is 'Sky Sports Understands'. Its hardly concrete evidence is it?

Age, an indifferent season & relegation means nobody is paying anything like £50m for Bowen.

Unai loves players who've been there & done it. A reasonable price of around £30m & it could happen.

I have no feelings about this Royal character, with or without cheese.

If he’s cheap, has Premier League experience, and is a backup option for Cash, then okay. There has to be a reason they think he can do the job.

Stick him in a Villa shirt and I’ll back him till he gives me reason not to.

[brontebilly]

I'm a bit shocked by the Emerson Royal links tbh.

Did anybody see anything in him during his time at Spurs that I'm missing?  My recollection was that he was absolutely shite, but I don't want to be too hasty.

Matt Doherty regularly played ahead of him, think that says it all. Absolutely awful and then some.

Exactly. It's not too long ago that the consensus on here was that signing Rashford was confirmation that doom was imminent.

I'll raise you a Victor Lindelof.

[Percy McCarthy]

I remember when the general consensus was that Lindelof and Buendia were shit.

[LeeB]

On Bowen also, he seems a remarkably similar profile of player to Malen, only not as good, older, and more expensive.

And a Marcus Rashford.

Do we have to do this every time?

[VILLA MOLE]

So what we are saying is , we do not know anything 😀

[Clampy]

Who was it that never seemed to stop telling everybody what a terrible signing Barkely was?
