The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 The transfer window obviously has a lot of moving parts and given the last two deals have been loaned it may suggest our top targets have not been available for whatever reason. I am sure we have more money in the kitty when the right player becomes available. All Premier League clubs are awash with cash, you still need to be a team and have a class coach. We have now thankfully got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we secured our top targets they were Torres and Diaby, the last two signings were loans because they are cover for injured players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Zaniolo is cover - I think he’s a loan while we check his injuries are all ok but if they are he’ll be a signing for sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank heavens this isn’t Unai Emery ‘Second XI’ I think Dendoncker in midfield, Lenglet in defence, and I don’t think Iroegbunum is challenging for minutes just yet (but we will see). I am 100% on board with your depth point though! Edited September 2, 2023 by Adam2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Great window, we’ve matured in terms of buying and selling as well. If we sold Coutinho as well I guess we’ve done a fantastic job. Still a January window were we could recheck our squad and needs. We might be able to sell Dinge (which is doing really well right now) if we can find a good/cheap/young replacement for him.

Not only did we manage to add some quality to the squad, we also managed to off load players we don’t need, to keep the net spend at a minimum. We now have a very strong squad, maybe the best we have ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 A smart window, sold players, bought some great ones. hopefully we can get Sanson off the books in the next. I think due to his wages Digne is only a matter of time. If we keep signing players like Tielemans, Torres, Diaby and Zaniolo then we will be great. I think we’ve spent about £100m net in the last 3 summers. Should have funds left for the next Torres and Diaby level players that we want. Guimares and Williams may still be targets.

cheltenham_villa Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 A solid food window in terms of signings. I feel like we are stronger and certainly have improved the first 11. A bit surprised we didn't spend more, especially compared to some of our rivals. I suspect that the planned stadium spend may impact player budgets.

CVByrne Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Duran, Diaby, Zaniolo - 3 attackers joined this year Tielemans - we had a very strong midfield Moreno, Pau, Lenglet (and Carlos really) - lots of quality progressive players in defence Some players thriving in system football like McGinn, Konsa, Cash, Luiz, Kamara, JJ, Mings. Martinez in goal This is a very good squad with an elite manager. We're good to go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 it’s always hard to judge how good a window has been for a club this early after it being slammed shut. But it clear that Villa’s squad depth is probably the best it’s ever been. The second team alone would be handy in the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper we have a better squad and a better manager than newcastle What they have over us is obviously the huge buzz of positivity and momentum resulting in performances that are better than on paper We need that buzz around us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted September 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2023 So we made 3 choice signings and 2 injury cover signings in the end. If I’m honest I would have liked 1 more choice signing; another attacking option with Traore / Couts leaving the building but I’m happy with the squad as it stands and we will definitely go again if January if something is missing or if we can strengthen from a position of strength. Bit worried about player fatigue with all the games but at least Emery isn’t afraid to rotate and use the subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
