Yeah you would hope that the players required/needed are ideally in by then to have a preseason with the rest of the team

Agree with a lot of the above but if you were ever going to invest big to make the next steps now would surely be that time and let’s not forget we need depth as well as quality in the starting 11 and for my money we certainly don’t have depth I would want GK CB RB 2 x Wingers left and right 1...

Not a chance..... if there was ever a time to take a gamble and invest heavily ..... now would be that time. We have ambitious owners and an ambitious world class manager. I fully expect NSWE to dig deep this transfer window and fully back UE to push on and qualify for the europa league proper...

Perhaps the Raphael Guerreiro rumour is true after all as he is now a free agent

Well its been quoted on the villa website that Young will be leaving so unless Unai fancies one of our young lads I think this will now happen

That made me chuckle:lol:

Anyone know if there will be a Press Conference today?

Anyone have any ideas who the coach he is bringing thats a European cup winner and experience of the premier league it was mentioned in an interview with Guillem Balague on the Claret and Blue Podcast?

Would be a great appointment and a real statement of intent. He ticks all the boxes Technically astute develops young players good win % plays 4231 formation premier league experience Yes please!

Well I think the pre-requisites for any manager coming in are as follows 1. You have managed in the Premier League 2. You can develop a team and youth 3. Tactically astute and not rigid 3. Respect the fans That rules out quite a few candidates including Amorin That said I think we need to...

Excellent signing and a solid midfield now that I am happy with.....hurrraaah! if we don’t sign anyone else I think it’s been a great window and there cannot be any excuses now on where we should finish which should be between 10th and 14th which would represent solid progress if we have more...

Are we any closer to signing Rashic? if reports are true it seems they want 18m so just pay it that seems a good buy to me

I want Rashica now.... it seems to have gone a bit quiet..... what’s the hold up?

What I don’t understand is it seems our main winger target is Rashica for 23m surely Sarr and Buenida would be a similar number so go for one of the instead and ditch rashica who has been dilly dallying on whether he wants to come to us. I’m sure Buendia or Sarr would love the opportunity

agreed I just don’t think we can go into the new season with Anwar and Trez. People have mentioned good wingers on here and I guess Buendia and Sarr are certainly gettable. I just don’t know whether Jack is gonna play left wing again???? as this will dictate what we need if he does then one...
