1. At what date do we sign our first player this summer?

Aug 16th

2. How many players have signed for Villa within Oct.5?

6

3 When the transfer window slams shut Monday, Oct. 5, what is Villa's gross expenditure on incoming players?  £120m ?

 

if we sell grealish add an extra signing and an extra 50m to the gross expenditure.

Ignoring the Grealish caveat....any less than 5 we're in real trouble.  Any more then 7 and the turnover is too much for my liking. Tough and important window ahead, but I'm feeling optimistic at the moment.

While we wait for any transfer action we might as well exploit the fact that nothing have really materialized yet, and play a good, old fashioned game of how much and when.

So just for fun, look into your crystal ball and tell us:

1. At what date do we sign our first player this summer? No youth players or kids, only players meant for the main squad counts.

2. How many players have signed for Villa within Oct.5? Again, no youth players or kids, only players meant for the main squad counts. Number of outgoing players are irrelevant, but if you think many players will leave you might up your guessed number accordingly.

3 When the transfer window slams shut Monday, Oct. 5, what is Villa's gross expenditure on incoming players? If a price isn't public knowledge we just go with what's probable. Also, we go with the transfer price at the time, so no add-ons or contractual fanciness.
 

The competition goes on as long as it's reasonable, i.e. until it's clear that an inbound transfer is going to happen and isn't far away. And, be gentlemen and -ladies, don't "guess dates" after it's been reasonably certain what the date will be.

Winners get a plethora of bragging rights, I guess.

I asked this question on here a few weeks ago and got chewed out by some guy
