    As ever all these rumours come to nothing .

    Hughes and Chalobah are out of contract next summer but surely won’t be sold now .

    Getting over a million for Percia would be good .

    Barnsley offering £1.5million for him sounds like something we should grab with both hands.

    Hughes is in contract talks so likely to stay.

    Adam Leventhal suggested in his article in the Athletic today that Hughes will be sold if he does not sign a new contract because his contract ends next year when he could leave for free. Leventhal mentioned that Hughes has said that he wants to stay, but that he is leaving the negotiations to his agent.

    Villa want Hughes for 8 million allegedly according to the Athletic.

    Didn’t we buy him for that much ?

    Didn't they just pay silly money for that guy from Norwich? Cheeky sods must think Gino was born yesterday...

    Adam Leventhal wrote in the Athletic "it’s known several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, are keeping a close eye on the situation" (referring to Hughes' contract negotiations with Watford). That comment has been turned into "Aston Villa want to sign £8m Englishman from Premier League rivals this summer" on the HITC website (referring to the Athletic's article), but the amount refers to the £8 million which Watford paid in 2017 to sign Hughes from Derby. There is a post on another Watford forum reportting that there was an "£8m bid from Villa according to the Athletic. Great.", but there is no mention of an £8 million bid in the Athletic. This post is either intended as a Whoosh or is a misinterpretation of the HITC headline. No need to worry - everyone can stay calm.

    Seems it was !

    Sorry about that.

    As you rightly point out we paid 8 million for him so would certainly want more !!

    Danny Rose to sign ?

    Good player in the past but not had the motivation in recent times.

    Have to hope he has re gained it.

    Oh no! Danny Rose <doh>

    Not that keen but maybe he gets back to his best.

    Many years gone since his poor loan move. Then there was the failed attempt to sign him before and I thought he thought he was above us.

    I would add that this deal signals a mostly 4 at the back formation. If we went for Young it made most sense if we were to play 3 at the back with wing-backs. So I think that the Young deal will not happen now

    Rumour has it that Burnley have muscled in on our plans to sign Ashley Young by offering him a longer-term contract.

    If we sign Danny Rose, he would not be required.

    Young only makes sense if we play 3 at the back and use wing backs I think.
