Well said, he’s done wonders ever since he came in and, of course, been well backed by the owners. I dread to think where would be had we not appointed him. The new ownership was a huge and obvious “game changer” or “difference maker” but I think the fact that we finally managed to appoint a decent manager after so many years (just look at the list of managers after MON, and I’m no fan of MON either. Dean is my favourite since John Gregory) is often overlooked, in comparison at least. We should continue to go from strength to strength, as should Dean. It wasn’t so long ago that Eddie Howe was seen as some kind of managerial prodigy and his reputation grew (until his relative fall from grace). Why should Dean be seen as any “less” or inferior? He’s better imo and will continue to make a name for himself and also continue to put some pride back into the Aston Villa name... how fortunate we are to have a manager who has genuine affection for and affinity with the club (who craves success for the club as well as himself). We have finally have the ingredients for success. UTV

Mane is their best player and loves scoring against us, they will miss him...

He meant the whole thing:

Send El Ghazi & Trez on their way. Get Benrahma in and why not Rashica too if we’re being nice & ambitious? Don't write Traore off so soon and he can cover CF & RW for us and be a good rotation option. I’ll stop dreaming now...

He’s vastly superior to El Ghazi & Trez, neither of which can do the things he does... Why not reunite friends?

Dean by the end of the window:

Job done.

So pleased we now have players who can genuinely support and work with Jack, there should be less reliance on him and we will see even better form and a more attractive & exciting style of play with these players working in tandem...

Yeah, with all of the talent we have introduced into the side (and attacking intent) it would hinder/impair us whenever we had to play Taylor and I don’t think he’s particularly good defensively either. An extremely basic/limited player who should be continuing his career at a lower level. Targett needs genuine competition to push him and get the best out of him, ideally we would get a superior LB but we are limited in what we can do/spend.

We could really do with a LB, that would “complete us” and further signings would be a bonus or icing on the cake...

Someone’s changed his tune...
