This is the kind of player I'd expect us to be after if we offload Carlos. A player who will be relatively cheap, he's out of contract next summer, we see something in and believe he can be improved at Villa. 

Monchi does love his French players as well.

All these links and no one posted the main transfer link of today which come from fairly reliable source, 'tier 2' I'm led to believe, which I think is not quite Percy, Romano, Ornstein, but the next step down, so still worth noting when they report of our interest in a certain player

I don't want Ferran Torres either.

Loan with option we never take up is one we can continue to work with

Did he slip one to his mom or something?  Jheez Louise, you have to properly dislike a player to want rid of them without meeting them

Still a squad space I much rather use for something else.

So are you going to tell us who it is?

[useless]

Archie Brown, KAA Gent left-back, who can also play on the winger, formerly of Derby, born in Birmingham, recently got called up to England Elite League squad which replaced the U20s, although he's twenty-two, must see him as a late developer, and want to take a look at him

[sne]

They want £17m for him apparently so that's a non starter.

Definitely looks pretty good. If it's Carlos out and this dude in that seems like it would be pretty decent business.

Only Archie I'd want this summer is Archie Gray

Premier League clubs will be asked next week to agree to new financial proposals aimed at boosting English sides’ competitiveness in Europe.
 

The proposal, put forward by Crystal Palace, aims to give clubs such as Aston Villa — who were surprise qualifiers for the Champions League — more flexibility around spending and financial losses.

Uefa’s coefficient payments are based on a club’s past ten years of results in European competitions. For the 2023-24 season, for example, Manchester City received £28million while Newcastle United were given only £3.8million. Aston Villa will be in a similar position to Newcastle next season after qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 1983.
Palace’s proposal, which targets the “artificial” impact of those coefficient payments, would alter the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), allowing clubs to claim the difference in coefficient funding between themselves and the top club in Europe as allowable losses.

That could allow Villa, who are believed to be close to the line in terms of breaching PSR’s maximum £105million losses over three years, an extra £20million-£30million in allowable financial losses. Newcastle, who failed to get out of the Champions League group stage, have claimed they were hamstrung in the tournament by needing to keep within PSR limits.

Palace’s chairman, Steve Parish, has long argued that Uefa’s coefficient payments are unfair and, unlike the Premier League’s payments structure, are not based on merit according to the season just played.

The proposal will go to the Premier League’s annual meeting next week, where — as revealed by The Times this month — Villa will also try to convince clubs to raise the PSR limit from £105million to £135million. The move by Palace is regarded as an alternative plan that would help Villa but not change the general PSR limit.

Uefa is reducing the size of coefficient payments for the new Champions League format that starts next season but it is still not clear exactly what they will be.

The Premier League’s annual meeting near Harrogate will also vote on a proposal by Wolverhampton Wanderers to scrap VAR. Although most clubs are expected to vote against Wolves, there is a general sympathy with some of the points raised by the club.

Wolves have sent a six-page document to the other 19 clubs in support of their proposal. It claims VAR is damaging the reputation of the league. The document states: “Since the introduction of VAR, we are giving oxygen to those who suggest that the Premier League and PGMOL [Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the referees’ body] are corrupt, and this is damaging the reputation of our league.

“Under the current version of VAR, it’s impossible to solve the problem because people often distrust referees who are far removed from the pitch and cannot experience the game as those present do.

“The involvement of multiple referees in decision-making increases suspicion of corruption, as accountability is dispersed, making it easier to shift blame. Fans also expect technology to be 100 per cent accurate and when VAR fails to meet this expectation, it’s harder to justify and explain the inaccuracies, leading to greater dissatisfaction and mistrust.”

I think raising it to £135m is a good compromise tbh. Every teams wage bills going up so surely taising it slightly will help every club

[CarryOnVilla]

If all clubs benefit from the increased PSR threshold, then it would seem most would agree with it right. The only exception would be the clubs that are no where near the existing 105m level, such as Brighton
