markavfc40 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 On holiday at minute so not posted for a while but have to say as someone who said when Xia arrived I would give it a few months before judging him that so far he has delivered and some. 60+ mill in one window for a Championship club is unbelievable. Over to RDM now to get these players to gel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Tony has been a man of his word. Things are happening on the commercial side and the playing side is much improved. Kudos. If we get promoted this year, just imagine the next summer transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubtGin Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 That was a very good window for us, hopefully it eventually shows on the pitch as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 31, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2016 Great work by the Doc so far, delighted with the transfer window activity. He has certainly done his bit, now time for us and the players to do ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Happy with our business. To get rid of 16 players and bring 9 in, most of those with promotion experience is fantastic. The players need time to gel but that would've been the case whoever we signed. We wanted an overhaul, we wanted the shit squad out, we wanted Tony to prove he has the funds to rebuild. Well, he's achieved all of this and more for me. Well done Villa, over to RDM now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Excellent work. Net spend of £35m or therabouts - for the Championship that is awesome. Must be the highest net spend. *edit* Just checked on transfermarket and it is BY FAR the highest net spend. Next highest net spend is about £9m. Newcastle are roughly even between sales and purchases, if they do sell Cissokho tonight it will be a £30m profit for them this window (into Mike Ashley's back pocket) We have also spent (Net) more than most of the premier league clubs!

The Moustache of Teale Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) There were some serious doubters when the takeover was announced but Big Tone has truly put his money where his mouth is. Imagine what next transfer window will be like if we get promoted. All hail Tony Xia. Edited August 31, 2016 by The Moustache of Teale Goddammit what were the chances of that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanBalaban Posted August 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 Naturally things could all go tits up one day, especially if we don't get promotion in the next 2 years, but I believe Steve Hollis was being genuine when he said Tony was the right man for the club. Hollis came in, knew what he was doing and got the job done. Shows what a bit of leadership at the top in just a short time period can accomplish. I think we've got the same leadership with Tony and Keith Wyness. Now the window is over, Wyness will probably be the main man running the show, but I think the whole club has benefited from their energy and work ethic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
