Has anyone done the sums lately on wages and fees in and out? I'm too busy learning French so the players will understand what I am shouting.

Photo doing the rounds that a chap took while viewing for his season ticket, apparently it's Veretout holding up a Villa shirt.
Not an overly clear photo, but it certainly looks as if it could be him.

There's today's signing sorted, what a team Sherwood's putting together.

Where is the pic I crave a pic I yearn for it to happen. Now does anyone know anything about him  :)

I saw it on www.avillafan.com  I was also shown the one on twitter

If Veretout, Gestede and Adebayor come in as expected I think we'll be about break even on all fronts, wages it's difficult to be sure because it's only really guesswork.

I'm getting really concerned Adebayor isn't going to go through!

Due to all the signings the club have run out of stretchy shirts for the players to use in their photo ops

Adding Gestede (6 million) and Veretout (8/9 million) we are pretty much even

If we end up with a net spend of £0 I will be disappointed .
On top of the sale money we are now into mega tv money and at least £25m should be handed to squad strengthening.

It's so great to see that everyone is buzzing. We've had some lean years and it's great to see players with some potential joining the club.

I see that Bet365 have us at 15/1 to win the league with a 43 point start. Is this feasible?

Also, to come top ten is 9/2

Even at our very worse didn't we spend net £10m in the summer? We could see a couple more yet?

We've also released/sold Luna and Helenius, though I'm not sure if we got much for them.  And I'm guessing Vlaar is gone too.
