Villa Report on Twitter saying L'Equipe is linking us to Baptiste Santamaria. No, nor me.

If it's true, I'm disappointed but not surprised.  Chelsea have their embargo thing and Man Utd rate Tuanzebe.  Maybe this brings Maupay into the picture.  I must say I hope we're looking further afield than just players who have worked with Dean before.

His name isn't quite religious enough for my liking.

That's true. If he arrives we can perhaps start calling him Confession.

El Ghazi, Hause and Mings will get done and there might be some mileage in the Etheridge links. Also Sawyers from Brentford. I presume we will chuck a fair few quid at a striker or two as well.

Both Tammy & Tuanzebe will struggle for game time at Chelsea and Manchester United.  With time they may be good enough but not yet. I'm not devastated if they don't come back as I think it would both expensive and a risk. I'm not sure Tammy is the type of forward Dean looks for.

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 doesn't necessarily preclude big name signings.

I didn't say it precluded them Hilts, I just don't get the impression Smith and Purslow will go too far down that route based on what they and Edens and Sawiris have said.

Fair enough.  I think that's limiting our chances though.

Tammy came through the ranks there and -if he has any chance at all to make the grade with a top 4 team - he has to grab it. Hard to call exactly how Chelsea will go re transfer ban and new manager.  If it was someone like Lampard, for example, he might be more inclined to give their loan stars a chance.

If not, it might be one to revisit in Jan or even next year. He won't be past his best in 12 months.

I just hope our squad is better than the one that gained promotion when the 10th August is upon us....

Axel and Tammy are good enough for an emerging Villa but not for their established clubs. I’m really grateful for their efforts in getting us up but am not too disappointed that they are not coming back. I appreciate this view is not a shared one!
