Villa are about to embark on redeveloping one end of their stadium and the wider area around that side of the ground. Over £100M required for that project.

SJM starts most games for Villa but is almost always first one yo be subbed.
It seems unlikely he would move but not impossible if he wants more game time.

Everton have spent a fortune on Bramley Moor Dock and IMO the target for the next few seasons will be to stay up, they've flirted with relegation for the last few seasons and to go down could turn that money spinning stadium into a millstone around their neck. If you are looking for players up for a battle SJM is probably the first guy on your list and £20 million or so to get 2 or 3 years out of him would probably be money well spent in that context.
SJM is set for life money wise, so if Villa were to tip him the wink that he isn't guaranteed a start any more I could see him leaving Villa for regular football, especially to play in the inaugural season of what is, internally at least, a magnificent stadium, in a city that is a football hotbed to boot.
I can see him ripping it up in a Merseyside derby and the Everton fans loving him, just as he is at every club he has played forLast edited by NAE NOOKIE; 08-07-2025 at 11:29 AM.

Aston Villa to Everton is a sideways step at best. A step down in recent seasons. Can't see that happening unless it's taken out of SJM's hands.

We have a strong 11 just now with a decent bench too. We just need a little sparkle, probably in the form of loans.
Ideally, Triantis is the main target just now.

Struggle to see any reason why SJM would want this move.
It was a sideways step years ago, it's 100% a backwards step now.

As for being taken out of his hands. As fans of this club know only too well, taking matters out of the hands of any player under contract is a thing of the past. It will purely be his decision to stay or go.

You can see why villa might be keen as it is not too different than selling a player that came through the academy in the sense virtually 100% profit. But you would think it would need to be for way more than 20m otherwise hardly making a dent in ffp and still need to fund a replacement. I am hoping for 40m+… 🥳

Villa fans kinda split on the idea of selling SJM . Some don’t want to see Villa sell him while others think if they got an offer of £25mil plus for a player approaching 31 it would be a good deal.

Three years at Everton and then off to Parkhead to finish up.

Like it or not this is where SJM's career is now at, and at some stage every player ends up taking a backward step, even the very best. I fail to see how Goodison Park based Everton struggling against relegation would have been a sideways step a year ago, but has now become "100% a backward step" as they move into a brand new stadium with a capacity 10,000 higher than Villa Park, a support every bit as passionate, if not more, than Villa and a clean slate to start from, with a manager who is clearly a great fit for the club.
There's thousands of players out there who wish they had a backward step like that on the table.Last edited by NAE NOOKIE; 08-07-2025 at 12:23 PM.

Effectively we get 10.5% of Villa's profit and St Mirren get 4.5%.
