One of the questions asked of the fans was who they would like to keep or sell with 11 players up for debate in Cameron Archer, Bertrand Traore, Keinan Davis, Wesley, Marvelous Nakamba, Morgan Sanson, Leander Dendoncker, Philippe Coutinho, Calum Chambers, Kortney Hause and Robin Olsen.Philippe Coutinho: Aston Villa sign Barcelona midfielder on loan until the  end of the season | Transfer Centre News | Sky Sports

Nearly 6,000 fans voted to keep Archer in Emery’s first-team, with a vote of 92 per cent urging Villa to keep the striker in the squad. The striker scored 11 goals in 20 appearances for Middlesbrough last season, as he enjoyed his second loan spell in the Championship following a stint at Preston North End in 2021/22.

Dendoncker could leave Villa this summer despite only joining the club last year. Emery cannot guarantee him the game time he needs at this stage of his career, and with EURO 2024 on the horizon, Dendoncker could push for a move in the coming weeks with a number of clubs interested in signing him. Over 51 per cent of supporters who cast a vote backed Dendoncker to be sold this summer.Leander Dendoncker: From farm work to Premier League football - BBC Sport

Traore was recalled from his loan spell in Turkey back in January when Emery couldn’t land his top targets to add depth to forward positions. The Burkina Faso international scored two crucial goals for Villa in their pursuit of European football, but is not guaranteed regular minutes next season. Over 3,700 fans voted to sell Traore, and 2,760 voted to keep him.Aston Villa's Traore to join Istanbul Basaksehir FK on loan - BBC Sport
