Optimistic, but, à la Chris, I'm a natural optimist anyway.

I'm also incredibly blinkered, so I look at our team and see potential title winners written all over it.

That said, I think we are in for a good season. Think we are going about things in the right way as well, which is no small thing in the money-obsessed world of Premier League football.

Time for a bump.

Optimistic that Benteke's absence won't be noticed.

Gonna have to revise my estimate of 8th-10th down to 10th-12th in light of recent events.

Still a looooong time till the transfer window shuts though.

Optimistic. Every player taking the field will be doing so because they want to play for Aston Villa, the greatest club the world has ever known.

Still optimistic. We're not a one player club and we will be left with players and men who want to play for the club. That and the best part of £30m+ for Lambert to improve us again.

Spend well on 3 or 4 quality players and we can still do well - remember the platt sale led to a much better team with the money used well.
