Sign all the strikers and play them all at right back

By the look of things, we aren't even close to signing anyone by now?

In other words, the first signing would probably be in at least 1-2 weeks?

The window is open until October 5th

I really hope we sign Benrahma so I can stop reading about us signing Benrahma 

Benrahma paradox

I would regard him as the likely best player in the championship, that counts for something. I reckon he would step up, but agree the hype at the moment is probably bigger than the talent he shows. £25m would be a lot of money, a club record.

If we do sign him, I just hope the fan base doesn't turn on him if he's not hitting the ground running after the first few games, given the hype around him that is a danger

Either was Konsa..he is now of course..but dean smith knew Konsa's qualities and i expect something similar in relation to benrahma

For sure, I haven't seen much of Benrahma to be fair, he's definitely got quality just not proven at prem level, like Konsa as you say, it took him time to adjust, have we got the time if Benrahma needs to adjust.?

We dont have that luxury..maybe when we are a settled premier league team..but now we need to have proven players to strengthen the current squad..we need experience and pace as we are very slow

Benrahma isn't proven at prem level, most seem to be clammering over him tho

I think we should be looking for the next Benrahma/Mahrez etc rather than paying 4x what it could cost us 

Wednesday tomorrow, new signing day

Oh dear, I wonder when Villa Park will next have 40,000 or more fans in it. I'd been so looking forward to finally going to a match again and then coronavirus came along. 

Until there's a vaccine, I don't think we will see VP at full capacity again. This is the new normal for a while yet I feel

Mid table would be a step forward from this season

Tammy won't be leaving Chelsea, they have champions league football. Yes, he's not going to playing week in week out, but, if Werner isn't firing he will get a chance soon enough. 

We know the mainstream media haven't got a clue who we're after, the likes of Origi and Iheanacho are lazy links imo

We had a prem plan as stated by Smith, I imagine that is already in full flow, bids would have been tabled and I reckon in the next week or so we will see the first through the door

With Johan coming in, do we think we'll see any big name signings? Doesn't seem to fit with what he's done before.
