Optimistic or still pessimistic

[Broughty-Villian]

Optimistc as always

8th-12th and 2 good cup runs.

[danlanza]

6th, winners of the FA Cup and the Other one, whatever it's name will be next season. Happy..... Frigging..... Days........ UTV.

My main hope is that we still have a realistic chance at some silverware by mid february.

[not3bad]

Put me with the optimists.

Reasons to be cheerful - part 3......

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.

I'm with you in the blinkered optimist camp.

Good man! There's always room for one more!

Top 10 definately , top 8 hopefully.

[curiousorange]

Time for a bump.

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

[dekko]

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.

[Doorbell]

Still optimistic...

[PeterWithesShin]

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.

[Toronto Villa]

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.
