Signings have come and gone at Villa Park in the last five years, but it’s fair to say some have made more of an impact than others. When assessing a transfer, it’s important to consider four things: 1) How much was forked out? 2) Did the club make a profit if they sold him on? […]
Dean Smith has admitted that Aston Villa’s promotion chances are hanging by a thread. Sitting thirteenth in the table, it would need a finish to the season for the ages to secure a playoff spot, which is not surely the only way Villa could get back into the Premier League this term. With 12 games […]
Aston Villa are interested in signing Barnsley defender Liam Lindsay in the summer, according to a report in the Birmingham Mail.

Villa could have to wait until next season to have another go at getting back into the Premier League, according to former striker Garry Thompson.

Jack Grealish is expected to be back in action for Aston Villa next month, according to the Daily Mirror.

Ross McCormack can’t catch a break. The Aston Villa striker – on loan at the Central Coast Mariners – has suffered a knee injury that is expected to keep him on the sideline for up to five weeks.

Aston Villa are close to welcoming Birkir Bjarnason back to the fold after six games out with a groin injury. Sustained in a clash with Queens Park Rangers, the Icelandic international required an operation on the ailment that left him stricken on the sideline for a considerable amount of time. A post made to his […]
If we learnt anything from Aston Villa’s 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest, it’s that Dean Smith’s side could do with a new goalkeeper. The result seems to lie more at the feet of Orjan Nyland than any other player, especially given Tammy Abraham’s heroics in attack, scoring four goals on the night. Therefore, we thought […]

It will come as a frustration […]
