Realistic Expectations

Well be in and around where we finished last year

Well be in and around where we finished last year

Or "There or thereabouts".

Whatever it's worth that chant We are Premier league!! A glorious chant at the time of the play off win. But that was then.
Though it's all I've known as Villa in top flight and those championship years it's a all a bit soul destroying actually.

The Olympics has been refreshing that's for sure.
All the nations and team and individual sports.

At least some of you have seen us win the league!

We've made good signings but if Jack leaves it's like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

I've voted 8th to 12th, but think it'll more likely be 12th to 15th.

12th at best. So I probably should've voted 13th to 17th tbh

If Buendia and Bailey hit the ground running, and providing we don't suffer an injury crisis I think we have a team capable of finishing in the top half.

[Ger Regan]

I think top half is realistic. Hopefully we won't be carrying passengers like Barkley this season, and we have definitely upgraded our attacking options (even with grealish gone we should be much more potent that we were for a third of last season.

[West Derby Villan]

Think we need a new poll, mods please

Realistic expectations? World domination but maybe delayed another season.

Exactly. It's annoying, but we're now unlikely to do much better than a boring mid table finish next season.

The long term plan of winning 15 Champions Leagues in a row does not change because of the departure of Floppy Haired Ratboy however - it's merely delayed by a season.

[Meanwood Villa]

Can't see much of an improvement on last season without Jack. I'd take 11th now.

[Scott Nielsen]

Top half is optimistic right now. Feel we're probably 16-12th bracket as it stands.

Sounds about right. I worry it'll be a turbulent season because I now also fear for Smith.

[ChicagoLion]

We will be slugging it out with Everton Wet Ham Wolves Leeds for 7th to 12th

I will hope for "slightly higher".

Don't forget we may make more signings. I think that winger is going to come in Alvarez?
