Might be worse than you think. Looking at the Villa website we have only one player left, Jack:

I'd give Whelan a one year contract. During that run in he looked fitter than he's been in a long time and he played better too. He'd be a useful guy to have on the bench at least.
If we sign Kortney Hause, he'd be cover for Taylor and Mings and Chester. I was impressed by the young man, especially the partnership he formed with Mings.
Man U said they'd be happy to loan out Axel again, although I'd prefer to have a purchase price agreed.
We have to get Anwar signed up.
Another midfielder to cover McGinn and Jack. I've seen calls for Joe Lolley but, I have reservations. I suppose that comes from being bitten too many times in the past, buying a player who has a fantastic game against us but, never performs in the claret 'n' blue. I'd rather get Tom Carroll back.
A wide right midfielder/winger to replace Albert and a couple of goalscoring forwards and we'd be set.

What I don't understand is that in any other business, if an employee was not applying themselves, was unfit and therefore unable to carry out their work and was generaly behaving in an unprofessional way they would be subjected to capability procedure and ultimately dismissed. Why does it seem that only "processional" footballers are exempt from this practice?
It's the same with injuries. If an employee has a medical condition that prevents them from working or carrying out their full duties they are sent to occupational health. If it is determined that the condition is chronic the employment would be terminated. I'm not having a go at Richards but he is a good example of somebody that should probably have gone down this route and the employment terminated.
You also have to take into consideration that these players are on (relatively) short term contracts so when I use the term, "chronic" it should be applied to the duration of the contract.

One thing we do know is that nobody will know until they are in the shirt at the training ground .
I remember when we got Mings and Hause and everyone went oh right who?
Whoever we get we just have to trust the club now knows what they are doing , and how much we can spend etc .
We may even see the Darren Bent fee eclipsed , probably has to be if we are going to stay up
