23 year old right winger, according to Transfermarkt. Seems we're interested, and we might even have submitted the first bid already. https://sportwitness.co.uk/aston-villa-continue-negotiations-signing-making-offer-villans-proposal-e7m-short/

Interesting. I've always thought the NEC would be the logical if controversial choice if ever a move away came to fruition. Stadium could've been built where the new HS2 station is going...so much space there and right on the doorstep of the City centre. Personally I want to stay at VP or Lotus Arena or whatever it will be called shortly. No issues at all exanding the ground from lack of space....if you knock down the club shop and build them into a new North Stand then you've got a bit of space to work with for new developments there like Man. City have done. I'm interested to see what the long term solution will be...but we need to be in the premier league and at the top end for this to be viable as we simply don't have a big enough regular match going fanbase.

It’s what I do! But seriously, I can’t see us messing around with Leverkusen. If they’re starting a bidding war, I think we’ll happily move to Doku.

Where is this ground going to be with 2 x mainline railway stations on its doorstep and immediately off a motorway junction? Does Anfield have this? The location is actually great. Only The NEC would make sense to move from where we are now.

Shame so much land is taken over by large logistics warehouses around Fort Dunlop and the like… Also as I’ve said before hypothetically if we were to move to a new stadium, aesthetically I’d like us to use the Lucas Oil stadium as a blueprint. It has a connected lower bowl but then also the 4 separate stand identity with a red brick exterior.

I'd move. It'd be nice to be trendsetters again, by building a really amazing modern stadium. We could really set the standard. Where could it be? Star City, near Curzon Street? stratford - I could walk to games like I did when I grew up in Erdington.

This may have already been discussed and is probably unpopular, but I'm thinking more and more recently that we should bite the bullet and buy a brown field close to the City Centre and build a new ground. Wouldn't have to worry about attendances while it was being built and the other issues of facilities, traffic and transport links are no longer an issue. Town already has fantastic infrastructure and facilities. I love Villa Park, don't get me wrong, but getting in and out and watching every game is between 8-10 hours of my day. The area is a dog hole and I'm embarrassed for the experience we must give away fans. No wonder they all look down on us the way that they do. Arsenal and City did it. Everton are doing it. Loads of others have already done it too. I think we can be over sentimental about these things. Villa just don't feel linked to that area of Birmingham for me, they may have been back in the day, but it's plain to see how the area has changed around the ground and I doubt there are too many Villa fans living within walking distance. Interested to hear what others think?

If, as conjectured we need to sell a Crown Jewel in the summer. If we get good bids, relative to the players value. Who do you sell?

Looks like his average is 3/4 years in any one job which is a worry but we do seem to be fluffing his bed

Well since Christmas decorations are starting to go up in town I guess we might as well start.

Assuming Southgate leaves after Euro 2024, who would you like and who would you bet on? I think I might have a cheeky punt on Eddie Howe, who I think might be out of work by then. Not my dream appointment but think he could do a job since we have a deep squad and his tactics usually require it.

Villans eyeing Alex Baena Aston Villa are interested in signing another Villarreal player, with attacking midfielder Alex Baena a target for Monchi and Unai Emery. It now looks as if NSWE are close to breaking their club’s transfer record to sign Villarreal defender Pau Torres, with the centre-back previously making over 100 appearances under Emery. Talks are progressing smoothly over a deal for the 26-year-old, and it seems as if he could be joined by a teammate in Baena. Sport Witness relayed an update from Spanish outlet AS regarding Baena in the last 48 hours. They claimed that Aston Villa and Barcelona are the two sides who are ‘most interested’ in signing the player this summer, with Baena described as one of the ‘revelations’ of the La Liga side last season. Emery considers Baena as a ‘strategic signing’ for Aston Villa and a transfer could cost those at Villa Park around €50m (£42.5m). Who is Alex Baena? Baena is 21 years of age and is primarily an attacking midfielder who can also play on the wing if needed and appears to be going from strength to strength, with his Transfermarkt valuation now at a career-high €20m. The Spain U21 international has progressed through Villarreal’s youth system and actually shares the same agency as Villa defender Ezri Konsa. He has scored 14 goals and registered 12 assists in 69 Villarreal first-team appearances, with 18 of those goal contributions coming in 36 games under Emery. Hailed as “spectacular” in the media last season, Baena would offer plenty of versatility to Emery’s squad, with FBref comparing him to Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne and Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard. FBref rank Baena in the 99th percentile for midfielders when it comes to through balls and shots, so he could be a really exciting signing both in the short and long run at Villa Park, and by the looks of it, he could follow Torres from Villarreal to Villa. Interesting...

Probably a slightly higher chance that this one happens than the Lionel Messi thread. But just casually the front-runner to sign a 3x Champions League winner in his prime with several dozen caps for Spain? Really shows how far we've come as a club so quickly.

"Marseille midfielder Mattéo Guendouzi (23) is being targeted by an unnamed Premier League club." "According to L’Equipe, OM executives believe that the unnamed Premier League club is Aston Villa, a link that would see the midfielder reunite with Unai Emery."

Agreeing with spacehead. A return of the ITK thread would be great, if not for anything else than entertainment.
