# Aston Villa: Fans slam Hendrie’s transfer suggestion

**Plenty of Aston Villa supporters have been reacting on social media to Lee Hendrie’s Villa summer transfer suggestions.**

Dean Smith has brought in [five permanent additions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) to his squad this season, totalling [£88.34m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) in transfer fees.

Ross Barkley also arrived on loan, and it seems as if the club [will be active in the market](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-triple-players-20239986) once again at the end of the current campaign.

### Hendrie’s Fulham trio

Talking to [Football FanCast](https://www.footballfancast.com/aston-villa-transfer-rumours/exclusive-pundit-urges-aston-villa-to-look-at-bobby-decordova-reid-if-fulham-go-down-transfers-dean-smith-jack-grealish-e56), former Villa midfielder Hendrie was asked who Villa should be looking to sign in the summer.

The 43-year-old picked out Fulham trio Harrison Reed, Ademola Lookman and Bobby Decordova-Reid as possible options, should Scott Parker’s side suffer relegation, with the latter of the three seemingly top of his wishlist.

> “If Fulham do go down, I just feel that there’s possibly a couple of players I would certainly look at in that team that would certainly stand out for me. \[Harrison\] Reed in the midfield, \[Ademola\] Lookman and Bobby Decordova-Reid, he’s one again that I’d certainly have, and he would play week in, week out.”
