I am so excited with the Academy players coming through now. It has never been better. We have some real top talent and a few of them will be pushing for a 1st team place very soon, a couple already are. This club is really on the right lines. The future has never been brighter!!

Wolves A, Leicester A Southampton A Chelsea H Spurs A Sheff Utd H for instance were all games that we could have lost but ended up winning

You might not want to believe it but Villa knew well before the Euro's that Jack was not staying. The players you mention were bought with that in mind. Smith has even said as much. As for a CDM it has been pretty obvious for years now that Smith does not set his teams up like that. We all have different ideas of how we would like to play but at the end of the day it is down to Dean himself. In his time here he has earned the right to be trusted in this respect. I'm sure the club has tried to sign players, some of which got to the media and some we have no idea about. It is pointless moaning about who we didn't sign and whether we think we are now stronger or weaker. We will soon have all our players fit and can get on with winning some games. Let's all get behind them and have a great season

I think it is a bit daft to loan Guilbert because no way does Cash get through the season without being banned. His game will always mean Yellow cards. I wouldn't change him though

So typical of who? Not NSWE They have backed us 100% Relegation scrap Oh dear What a load of twaddle

A regular at BHX Nothing to do with football

Right colours Wrong club

Sky Sports News reporting Weston McKennie offered to Burnley!!!!!!!

Newcastle

And more importantly Watkins We've really missed him

Your opinion and of course you're entitled to it, but not many Villa fans would agree with much of that

Leicester I think

Renato Sanchez to Wolves has fallen through = Just saying

Like it was last season - NOT

Why can't we all see things like you? You are absolutely right There is nothing to moan about We are on the way up UTV

Well said Spot on

Ha Ha not that one as you know

A certain Brazilian International may come into contention there

But what gap are we "trying to bridge" If you think it's to the top 6 then you will have to be patient. If it's to finish between 11th and 7th or 8th then I think we have enough

If you heard Tyrone Mings interview I don't think Europe was ever in their thinking for this season. He said they just want to improve on last seasons finish and I think that's fair enough

Sorry How? I think something has gone over my head!!

Strange response!!

What a ridiculous post!! If the guy thinks Barry is that good well that's great isn't it. The lad looks good beyond his years. My best mate worked for his Dad so he also knows a lot about him. By the way my mates Dad was manager when we won the European cup so there is plenty of knowledge there.

Marvelous thanks you for your kind words and reminds you that he had 2 brilliant performances in the last 2 games of last season!! Liverpool tend to keep their top youngsters and quite a few of them played quite a lot last year and they didn't do too bad did they?

Paul Merson said he was "Outstanding" on Saturday and I'll wager he knows a tad more about things than you
