Too dear: Aston Villa walk away from Samu Aghehowa

$32.5M was the most the club would pay and Porto were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Marco Bizot stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Keilan Quinn hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Aston Villa can pretend not to have heard.

Amadou Onana in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aston Villa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Door shut on Kellen Fisher

Aston Villa asked and Norwich City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Aston Villa come up short against Tottenham

Tottenham left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boubacar Kamara was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.28. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Nicolas Jackson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Aston Villa may not be able to give João Gomes what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. João Gomes wants continental football; whether Aston Villa can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Aston Villa make their move for Samu Aghehowa

$32.5M on the table at Porto. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Aston Villa say no — this time

The offer from Liverpool for Boubacar Kamara was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Terms done: Lamare Bogarde is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Milton Keynes Dons waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Aston Villa is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

An offer of $4.7M for Ben Nelson

Aston Villa have gone to Leicester City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Aston Villa go back to the board over Ben Nelson

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $5.0M — a club that wants Ben Nelson enough to be asked twice.

Tempers go at Aston Villa

Amadou Onana was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Aston Villa

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Aston Villa rebuffed over Charlie Savage

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Reading have kept their man, and Aston Villa go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

One of our own: Liam Evans joins the Aston Villa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Liam Evans is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
