Jareth Posted April 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2021 With Emi, jack and Ollie in the prem 'stats' team of the year - if we add one or two more of similar quality then we will be up there, we really will. I think we will do what is necessary and I see us challenging top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Minimum requirement - top half Ideally - challenging for European places 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Top 8 for me if we invest and keep all the players mentioned. Progress is the name of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Top 10 Saying that. If Jack stays fit for a full season anything is possible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Expectation that we challenge for Europe so challenging the top 6 places. Minimum we should achieve is 10th, which would put us behind the ESL6, Everton, Leicester and West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ender4 Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 I should point out that usually every club in every major league in every decade basically ends up in the position of their wage bill. You can overperform or underperform for a few years, but eventually everyone generally reverts back to their wage bill position. The aim is to overachieve for a couple of years, giving enough time to be able to increase revenue and therefore the wage bill, and so creating a new expected wage bill position. This season we probably have a wage bill around 12th and might finish around 10th. Next season we’ll probably have a wage bill around 9th, and so have aim to better that position. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it amusing seeing Jack still appear towards the top of the chances created, fouls won, meters made lists, despite having missed nearly a third of the season so far. Phenomenal. If he stays fit, we should well be expecting top 6, even if we add just 1 quality signing. The problem is I don't think he will stay fit, and we'll need 3 quality replacements to make up for that... the 1 we need anyway, and 2 to make up for when Jack is out. As such, with 2 good signings, average luck, and Jack playing 30 games, 8th should be the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) I think a top 10 finish with a push for Europe should be the aim. Maybe a decent cup run. We need to establish ourselves as a mid table Premier League team again before really pushing on. I know it sounds long winded but we fell so far behind, it’s going to take a while to catch up.

Woody1000 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I think that if we spend again this summer and keep all the players we want to keep, then a fair expectation for next season is top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 For me one target has to be top 10 though another is to maintain our form for a longer period than we did this. That would be a clear sign that the squad was stronger and should move us up naturally anyway. So for me top 8 is a good target with a chance of Europe if we exceed that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Top 12. Positive GD. More quality at the top end of the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Top half. Winning some games without Jack Grealish. Good cup run (got shafted a bit by schedule right at the start of season and then FA cup and covid so should be able to have a better crack next season) Odd player or two to come off the bench and win us some points. Think top 6-7 will be too much of an ask unless we sign 2-3 really good players ready for first team. You never know but we should have enough to fight for 8th-10th given our progress and how this season has generally gone up to last 6 weeks. Less than 10th and manager comes under pressure not just on message boards like this but from ownership but I'm hopeful we'll improve a little bit more.

Personally I think it’s about 50/50 if he plays in Euros & takes them by storm I reckon large bids will come in. Whether he chooses to leave however is another matter entirely especially if the owners go large in the transfer market and even less likely he’d go in my view if we manage to sign Tammy Abraham as I reckon he’d fancy a season playing in a Villa team which just might have a good year.

ciggiesnbeer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Top 10 is what I would like. But as long as we avoid the drop next season I will be happy, just as I am happy this season. We faced oblivion in the eye the past few years and came out the other side, I will never take Premier league status for granted ever again. Happily the players, owners/ceo and management team seem to have their sights aimed much higher than mine, as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Impossible to gauge anything until we've seen who stays, who goes and who comes in. But just for the hell of it. I'll go for a better finish than this season. 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
