Our wingers i feel won't be to bad under Potter. Will probably attack more with purpose. Midfield players like Stephens and Kayal really should have been moved on. Even Gross divides people but i like him despite being slower than Murray(well nearly) Hopefully Propper can player like he does for Holland.
I feel our midfielders is our weak point.

What with Villa making their 10th summer signing (Douglas Luiz), taking their spend well over £100 million, I was going to start a thread asking this self same question...

.. but I won't now.

You beat me to it

How much have they paid for him?

 

[Weststander]

I wonder how Villa are able to do this and meet FFP?

We spent circa £45m in summer 2017, with FFP a background constraint.

Spending money for fun. When do we get started just a 3rd will do

Has TB a clever strategy that our youngsters will take the PL by storm?

Good question.

Will Villa be announcing a squad of 35?

 

[Nixonator]

In January.

Though, as the squad currently stands, we'll probably be sufficiently adrift by then to start a consolidation/managed decline.

.... whereupon some posters will get rather excited about our summer 2020 transfer war-chest for the Championship campaign.

Reportedly now in talks with Juve to sign a £13m goalkeeper. That would put their summer spend at £139m.

If true, I cant see them splashing out another £20m on Maupay. But imagine they did and it all went wrong, it could cripple that club.

Big risks being taken.

More a case of him feeling that Potter will get more out of the established players than Chris Hughton did l think.

 

[thejackal]

How much have they paid for him?

15 million

Maybe you can sell your stadium to yourself every season?

Isn't this how Real Madrid work every few years (except they build and sell-off training complexes etc) ?

 

[crodonilson]

Dean Smith says he only wants 2 more players now and he'll be happy, now spent 140m+ and with a striker and winger due this would push their spending to a mind blowing £170m.

Grealish been making noises in the press that they mean real business and they'll be looking to do better than what local rivals Wolverhampton last season, so looks like they're aiming for top 6.

I was warned by Villa supporting family acquaintances earlier in the summer that they would be spending big money as one of the biggest clubs in the country and would be hurtling past us this season.

I think they'll do ok, i dont think they'll be top 6 but neither do i see them struggling.

 

[schmunk]

Oh, how we'll all laugh if they're bobbins.

 

[Nitram]

Wasn’t Fulham’s spending over £100 million last year?

 

[Icy Gull]

Putting together a new team and then smashing the PL would be more than a little impressive, don’t see it myself. Especially as their coach is a PL rookie too
