We've been saying that the new manager needs time to assess what he's got. What if he decides, in this transfer window anyway, that he has everybody that he needs? Including the academy players and including a goalkeeper? There's a maximum for a PL squad but is there a minimum? Can we last till christmas? Oooh!
Just time to do this one till the team come back for pre season!

Slightly misleading topic there, it makes it looks like he's actually said that, rather than you wondering what we'd do if he did.
Do you want to change it?

Well, i would think that'd be a good start.

No idea how to do it though. Needs a more IT literate intervention.

When the players come back to pre-season training, after seeing them and working with them, what if McL decides he doesn't have to buy anybody? They are a superb bunch.
Hold on to S Downing till the end of august anyway but hopefully beyond. Goalkeeper? who knows what our perennial reserves can do. Buy if we absolutely have to.
Wasters - find the pluses in Warnock and Ireland or get rid in January.
Shouldn't there be another generation of players in different positions coming through from the Academy? Can't we use those who were on loan last season in this coming season? And loan others out to get experience?
I think Villa has lots of potential and that our new manager is well placed to find it.

does anyone really think that is going to happen? I don't. Once McLeish has had a chance to see what he's got, and who's mind is where, he'll start making transfer moves.

I agree with toronto villa up to a point. Although there are a lot of ifs buts and maybes at the moment I truly believe that things aren't quite as gloomy as some seem to think. Given + N'Zogbia in plus fit and motivated Dunne, Warnock & Ireland for example combined with Albrighton, Delph, Bannan, Clark & Gardner stepping up to the plate then it starts to look a whole lot more positive. I'm not suggesting we'll be pushing for a CL place but I dont think a top 6 finish is out of the question either

We just flirted with relegation and have sold A Young. The existing squad as it stands will be fighting it out with Blackburn and Fulham to avoid another relegation scrap.
We still have plenty of deadwood to clear out and a need to sort out the defence which is not fit for purpose.
