If we'd have gotten in a 'special' signing, something for the fans to get excited about, a merse type player then i'd have voted for one of the top 2 options.
We have strenthened and brought in some very decent players, however none of these really are a step above what we already have and none will bring the crowds racing back to Villa park in excitement. That said, we should now be more solid and who knows, a good run like last year and maybe we'll have the experience and learning to push on.
