I reserve the right to remain optimistic until we get some bad news i.e. Delph or Benteke leaving.

If we can get to the end of the window with these 2 and a couple more signings like this one then it could be a fun season.





you can't be that optimistic and a villa fan, those 2 things don't go hand in hand, IMPOSTER!!!

would be nice though :-)
I  have to say I had a lot less optimism when I saw the Team Sheet at Wembley than those around me.
But now the close season and you never know we might just pull a team together. 8)

I'm not reading the Birmingham Mail story, but apparently the group who are taking over at WBA are a Chinese/USA consortium who were rejected by Randy Learner

Subject to a 6 week exclusivity period though, same as Villa, so we have a head start. I presume Baggies are going to cost a lot less than Villa

Are they? We have not made any sort of statement, or indeed confirmed that we are in an exclusivity period with anyone officially have we?
