Be nice to have got canales or someone like him but we have Cole and grealish and the chance to buy again in Jan. If things don't work out with your first choices no point sig img someone for the sake of it. Think we as fans are victims of marketing by sky. Being perceived to have had a good deadline day doesn't actually mean anything on the pitch. For example.please hull fans will be happy now but they had to do what they did as they sold their first choice striker earlier in the summer and you never know if a new signing will work put. No, we're victims of poor decision making by the board and manager for the last few years, and despite the promising start the squad still isn't good enough.

Can negotiate with other clubs in January.Bent - in last year of contract. Can negotiate with other clubs in January.Delph - in last year of contract. Can negotiate with other clubs in January.Grealish - in last year of contract. Think we may have to get a fee if he goes because of his age but even so.Vlaar - in last year of contracts. Can negotiate with other clubs in January.I think as an urgent priority the wages saved on Cleverley should be used to tie this little lot up.Fully agree that is what we should do.Except Bent. Happy to let him go. He kept us up three years ago and that alone was worth the feeQuite Gabby and N'Zogbia also in the same boat, I think once these 3 go at the end of the season and we free up some £180k per week in wages we may see an exciting attacking signing or 2. I'd sign the other 4 up sharpish though.

So we can take it that we won't be getting anyone in now?
Good deals for Hull would've taken Gaston Ramirez,Ben Arfa or Hernandez. Think Guidetti who went to Celtic would do job for us. Oh well, I'm not sure why I'm disappointed this is Villa all over.
We are a few key injuries away from a crisis again. Was the same at close of last Jan's transfer windows and look at what happened. Better hope that the injury fairy is kinder to us than it has been over the last few seasons. There is no doubt that we are a stronger outfit this season than we were at the start of last season. We've held onto Vlaar and he seems to forming a good partnership with Senderose. Benteke and Kozac to come back. We haven't seen Joe Cole yet. So it bodes well for the few months ahead....... baring injuries of course. Up the Villa!

We're better that last season and probably to stay up. It's a bit depressin that's our only aim but we've known that for ages and today doesn't change it. That's why I say we're victims of marketing.

Looking forward I hope we will have scouts watching Watfords Forestiere, highly thought of and Carbonesque in his style of play, I would also like us to look at Brady at Hull whose place might be under threat now- I thought he made the difference to Hull when he came on.
