Too be honest I think he did an ok job in the summer and the majority of his signings have been amongst the better performers. Vlaar (when fit), Benteke, Lowton and Westwood have not done much wrong. The problem seems to be the existing players at Villa with some real lazy high earners and some sub standard youth.
Based on the signings I am more than happy to give him another window to replace some of the existing guff left over from previous managers.
