When is Villa going to get off their ass and make some moves?? It's getting a little frustrating.

You're new, you'll learn.

You're only at the 'little' frustrating stage. Allow me to plot the next few weeks out for you.....

I remember the days when I was like you. I was but a mere pup.

[Nastylee]

You'll need to wait until at least August and then spend the final 4 weeks watching everyone sign someone. Villa will eventually make a signing on 31st at about 11.58pm.

and despite that, with the exception of a few sides, do better than all of them.

We don't really rush, we don't really panic, and it is frustrating. But the Villa way, is the Villa way. It's a testing game of patience and you won't really know what's going on until the very end, so ignore the rumours in the papers. We'll see 10+ players come and go in the coming weeks, so just sit back, relax and try and enjoy the ride.

MON's record of making late moves in the transfer market aside, the World Cup always means the transfer window is truncated down from 12 weeks to 6 weeks, particularly if the said players you're keen on signing are involved.

The fact that we've made no moves yet should worry no one.

Well that's my pathetically optimistic view and i'm sticking to it.

[Matt Collins]

MON's record on late purchases is a mix of the 'glad I waited' and 'he'll make do' though isn't it?

Dunne, Collins, Warnock last year were all great buys.

Harewood, Knight much less so!

Note of course that the more impressive late signings (in fact, signings full stop) have been the more recent ones.

I'm not worried about when we purchase them so much as who we purchase.

This season we've enough strength to start without any major weaknesses.

What we need to do is find better players than we have.

More players of the same quality means standing still.

Remember Wigan last season- I would like our signings done dusted and in the team on the opening day if possible!

The squad is stronger today than it was the first day of last season.

And I'd rather forget Wigan, to be honest.

Most people did when we shafted Liverpool in their own doorway.

The unfortunate thing is there were then far more performances at home from the Wigan mould than from the Liverpool away one.

It's "arse" not "ass"  (winky thing)

[smudger]

At present we don't need to be in a rush to buy anyone, we have a big squad, no position is short of numbers. We just need to improve the quality in certain areas, but we are not desperate at the moment. My only concern would be if we see 4 or 5 leave in the next few weeks and get to the last week of August having not signed anyone.

Going back to the Milner thread, anyone reckon Barry, Ireland and a bit of cash would be a good deal for us? I know Barry was a shit for going, but he is a good player. With the midfielders already signed there, surely those 2 would be bench warmers.
