Haven't read last few pages, is Canales going to happen or not? That would be a coup and a signing to get properly excited about imo.

SSN says he doesn't want to come.

A decent creative/attacking midfielder could make such a difference to this team. 

As ever with Villa, get to the verge of a decent side and don't consolidate it.

As an aside did collymore ever elaborate on his chocolate finger claims? I assumed it had something to do with the forcing of a snickers down his hog's eye with a camping mallet.

Why is it worrying that we have not spent wedge full of cash? We have signed 4 players that's about as many as any team should sign in a TW.

Not when you've had a season as bad as we've just had.

I think we pulled out of the Cleverley deal as we were worried about breaching the Financial Fair Play rules.
Yes us agreeing to his wage demand would have led to a UEFA enquiry.

I'd just settle for keeping Vlaar as when Benteke gets back we'll continue nicking games 1-0/2-1 to be pretty comfortable.

It is infuriating though every window passes and we can never sign an attacking midfielder.

We must be the only club that dosen't have an experienced one on the books as Grealish is still learning the game at PL level.

Yes that's a fair point but signing too many players in a single window never works.
