foreveryoung Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Quite surprising we wasn't even mentioned to be looking at anyone else. Spent nothing other than most of the JG money. Shocked really we ain't spent another 30-40m, most thought we would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched a second of it either. He don't work for SSN anymore, moved to Talkshite only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happened in past seasons has nothing to do with it. We've had enough of living in the past at Villa, having to settle for reveling in past glories. It was time to live in the present, be ambitious, take a calculated risk. Oh well. Mid-table at best this year, maybe we'll have a go next year. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm not going to criticise anybody for being a little disappointed. We've made some great signings. We've also made a profit, and this team is not balanced. Might have missed a trick or two here. We'll see. But it's mostly all positive. Let's get on with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason being, Dean et.co., are surely satisfied with the business we've done and don't see a need for further reinforcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Dean must be happy with the squad, he will know what is expected of him, and he will hope that these signings will achieve what he is tasked to do. I for one will be hoping he is right and that it will all be OK in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adman Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Glad we've kept all our best players. Would have derailed us if City fancied putting Martinez / Mings/ Konsa etc on their bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2021 Absolutely gob smacked we didn't do any more business, especially after being linked to many midfielders. Just press bullshit or couldn't get the deals done? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably laugh at yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
