Villa seem to be synonymous with the word 'preparing'!

More than content with our transfer philosophy so far.

Still a month to go, I’m confident In Deano and Lange.

Only 5 days until the season starts. That tells me all our business will be with Championship clubs or abroad. Premier League clubs will be reluctant to sell in to the season unless they're selling trouble or shite.

So much for making sure we aren't in a relegation battle again. Preparations are as poor as the January window.

Do they both play up front?

There's still time but I may have to soon re-access our points total for the first five league games. Right now I have us down for 9 points. Home wins against Sheff Utd and Leeds Rhinos plus an away win at Fulham.

I’d say Nixon is one of the least reliable journalists around. I’ve recently noticed he’s blocked me. He must have taken offence when I reminded him that he reported Tammy to Wolves (when he was on loan to us) was a done deal.
He blocked me aswell although I did call him cnut to be fair.

I didn't realise we had to sign players by Saturday.

Apologies if this has been posted already but according to the DT we wanted to pay by instalments whereas Newcastle offered cash on the nail. It also said we withdrew our bid but at what stage I’m not sure.

Isn't it the norm to pay transfer fees in installments?

yeah but we asked for buy now, pay Christmas, and interest free credit till 2023
