Calm , it is just over a week , Fulham spent 90 mil and it did them no good at all
That doesn't really mean anything though.  You could spend £90M and have a great season.  Equally you could spend buttons and get relegated.  Just depends who you buy.

Exactly, it's about managing your purchases and having a strategy.

Fulham failed as they ripped out what made them good last season and couldn't replicate the spirit and elan that went with it. They also could stop conceding goals.

I have faith that we will bolster the squad and make three crucial signings who front, in midfield and in defence who will raise the bar of our quality.

I don't really expect we'll make many or even any big name signings - may one, max two. The intention seems to be to build a solid squad with some depth, of players with quality who will be able to play the Smith way, good on the ball, work hard off it, and to coach them into a cohesive unit.   That said I hope, and expect,  we will get a few in with either PL or top level European league experience.

Jeez the season only finished 2 weeks ago for us. 4 weeks for Sheffield and Norwich and unless I’ve missed something I think they’ve only signed one player (Patrick Roberts) between them haven’t  they?

The key difference is they both don’t need to sign players, they could go with largely the settled sides that got each of them promoted.

We have to sign pretty much half of a first team squad as we’ve released so many and 4 of our key players were loans.

It’s vital we do our business early to get the new players ready and the new team working together.

I'd like us to open talks with Joe Bryan at Fulham, then drop him like a stone at the eleventh hour.


...and yes, I am being petty.

Patrick Roberts is a good player, would have liked him at Villa under Dean

That doesn't necessarily preclude big name signings.

Stuart James reporting in the Guardian that we've triggered El Ghazi's 8mil release evaluation and he's set to become our second signing of the summer.

Quote
Aston Villa will complete the signing of Anwar El Ghazi from Lille in the next 24 hours after triggering the option to buy the 24-year-old winger following his successful loan last season. Villa agreed a fee when El Ghazi joined on loan last August – understood to be £8m.

Looks like Tammy and Axel aren’t coming back, judging by their social media posts today.

Was always going to be difficult getting those two in, for different reasons. As much as I'd have liked to get them in, i think (hope) both are replaceable. Thanks for their part in our promotion, and all the best (except when playing villa).
