CarryOnVilla Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I’m imagining that this preseason is about filtering the team, who makes the grade and who doesn’t. the senior players that don’t are eliminated and replaced. overall, outs before ins. Makes sense when we have seven 6/8s already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted July 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2022 There comes a time when we have to put some faith in the youth coming through. We cannot keep spending money and blocking their path. That being said I think we will sign another couple of players and couple will leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer net spend of approx 25-30m so far. Including Digne in January that's a net spend of around 50m over the last two summers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Not to be rude but it’s hard to believe what Preece says at times, he does seem like a top bloke though. I still believe we are due at least another signing, there’s still a lot of situations happening around the football world that we can take advantage of. There’s a few top teams that need to balance their books etc and we all know Lange and co love to pounce on an opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not like to see him anywhere near a Villa Shirt. Ok i will say 2M and Cameron Carter-Vickers. Now that is a deal Levy would be proud of!

abdulaziz1 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I don’t think it’s about spending more and more. It’s about getting it right. Especially strikers usually are the hardest to find. I think if we don’t get an upgrade on what we have let’s keep them for a year and see how the team progresses while finding the right player. But to keep getting players who we don’t really need or same level as what we have then that would only affect our finances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Another thing is that most of hood players won’t come just to be a backup especially teams like us who don’t play in Europe. We either get a youngster (who isn’t a starter as Hickey), or just replace a current player to a be a back up of the new one such as Nakamba. No point of getting backup players where we know their limits. We have some youngsters that could fill these squad gaps as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
