General, I for one am getting very frustrated with yet another, to now, very poor transfer window from Villa.
We are showing absolutely no ambition to get the best players while our rivals snap up the best talent. It's time for some answers with us having such a small squad and yet so little investment in the first team squad relative to teams of even a smaller size to us.
Sadly losing faith in the board quite fast. Actions speak louder than words and the only actions we see is O'Neill on BBC while other clubs snap up players. :shock:
2008 transfer activity:
Villa : £1.25m purchase of Routledge. Net spend £1.25m
Spurs: £2m purchase of Guenter, £8m purchase of Woodgate, £9m purchase of Hutton,
£2m purchase of Gilberto, £16.6m purchase of Modric, £4.7m purchase of Dos Santos, Gomes £7m, sale of Defoe for £7.5m and Routledge for £1.25m. Net spend 40.55m
So one of our rivals have a net spend of around £40m more than us so far this year. Forgive me for thinking we have a few problems and all is not so rosy at Villa Park.
