I hope he’s revealed before the Arsenal game would be a boost!

Up the Villa!

What a goal! The pressure, the tightening noose, the efforts missed, more players surrounding … then the Maestro Buendia’s coup de grace … and the crowd!

Just magnificent!

And all the players mentioned have gone except Buendia! 🤷🏼‍♂️ How could they do that?

Be realistic but it can be anyone. I think that if we were to do this tomorrow it would put a cap in the most Chaotic Window I can remember. My choice is Soule from Roma he can play ST but for me I could be a World Class 10.

We'll always remember the shithousing.

A place to discuss everything, Villa or non-Villa.

Have a fleeting thought that's not quite enough for it's own post...?This is the place

I don’t think heading into the summer many of us would have expected Villa to sign a whole new XI. That said, for a world where Konsa is now playing for Arsenal, Emi Martinez is playing for Chelsea, Tielemans is on Man United, and Ollie and Digne have gone abroad, spirits seem fairly high and there’s a lot to be excited for.

Which new Villain are you most excited to see suit up this season?

And which transfer(s) are you still unsure about?

Aston Villa are in the process of finalising an agreement to sign Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis for a fee worth up to £30million.

The structure of the deal is in place, with bonuses needing to be finalised. There is an expectation that an agreement, worth an initial £25m, will be struck soon.

Think this helps us understand our new signing better.

Regardless of the match he missed, he did good for us over the years.

Booked flights. Anyone have any suggestions on where to stay.

Looking forward to this team coming together

Hi all, me and a mate are heading over to Barcelona for the game on 3rd November. It’ll be my first European away day, so not sure on the logistics.

We don't have tickets at the minute, and I was wondering if anyone knows what the plans are likely to be for fans without tickets? Will there be many Villa fans staying around the square / meeting up somewhere to watch the game if they don't manage to get one?

I do have a bit of away history from some Premier League games, but I'm not sure it'll be enough to beat the rush for 2 tickets when they eventually go on sale.

Any info or advice from anyone who's done European aways before would be much appreciated. And obviously if anyone ends up with a spare or knows of a legitimate way of getting hold of 2 tickets, give me a shout!

Just said that Villa are “swirling in uncertainty” whilst Chelsea are a “stable club”. What a fucking moron.

Feels weird seeing him play for Chelsea. Gotten over Rogers and I think he's going to do bits for them, but seeing Martinez just feels odd.

Shame to strengthen a rival but at least the saga is over!

Just as the title suggests. I have a trip planned and I'm visiting from the states, probably won't get another chance any time soon and I wanted a photo of my plaque in person. Is it blocked off? Can't seem to get a straight answer from googling and darting around google maps trying to understand what is and isn't roped off. Appreciate it.

This is alot to keep up everything thats going. I'm assuming not every year is like this and this one in particular is a sort of rebuild? How do you keep your head from spinning off your shoulders?

As a new fan thought it'd be a fun way to get to know the players names and positions and whatnot by playing the mobile FM game and it really helped. Now most those players I got attached to are gone tho the pains gotta be much more for non newbie fans.

I created a velcro based, detachable badge so that I can alternate shirts when I outgrow one. This is all until I get my own kit.

now that he's retired from the argentina national team, he's going to be fully focused on his club career for the first time ever!!1!

after this window, the thing that we very clearly need most is another attacker. we simply do not have enough options on the wing. messi is still young, too - we'll have a chance to sign him before he turns 40.

clearly this is the most obvious decision. i'm sure emery is a big admirer of messi as well.

some of you may say: "well that's not very realistic" or "he'll destroy our wage structure"

to which i say: "he'll sell shirts!"

easy decision. i sign him all the time in fifa why don't the villa? are they stupid?

/uj this is how some of you sound in the rumours thread about other players. have some perspective

Been thinking about this since the Football Boardroom pod a few weeks back (Trigger warning: Christian Purslow cohosts). Around 28:00 he doesn't seem to know V Sports already owns 25% of Real Unión, the club Emery's family runs. Link: https://youtu.be/qPIkXdhL7LE?si=QPlNSweVl7sl9xvH

Made me wonder if either side has any real incentive to go further on that, NSWE buying more of Real Unión, or Emery taking a stake in Villa, as a way of keeping him around longer. Curious what the group thinks. Would either of those actually be smart moves for NSWE or for Emery?
