When we go down the leave column
- Jack, Mings, McGinn, Luiz - circa £160m IN
- Trezeguet and El Ghazi £15m approx

Then rest stay imo.
Back 5 of
Heaton
Guilbert, Konsa, Hause, Targett

Even with no stutter recruitment here this is not bad at all.

The midfield is going to be the massive issue. Can see us only being left with
Hourihane, Nakamba and Jota

Strikers:
Wesley will stay, purely based on whose gonna spend that kind of money on someone coming back from an ACL.
Samatta - id guess will leave

Wesley, Davis and Barry - buy one more striker and we’re good here.

Wesley, a bloke who hasn't scored in three years and a child. The new Striker had better be the real deal in that case.

You can't relegate us and keep your job. We are Aston Villa, ffs.

Maybe if our supporters didn't act so small time we wouldn't play like it so often.

You'd think we were Barnsley, Swindon, West Brom or some other nonsense club enjoying a day out in the top flight rather than a club that should be competing to win it.

The idea of someone relegating a club of our stature and keeping his job is as laughable as it is nauseating.

Too right. We need to stop accepting mediocrity and being plucky losers. We are not West Bromwich bloody Albion. Can you believe we were all expecting-not just acknowledging that we might - expecting to, lose yesterday to Wolves. Wolves. Bloody Wolves. Jesus wept.

Paul Lambert started this mentality.

Targets and House should be nowhere near our team next season!

Yes, but how the hell have we arrived at a situation where Wolverhampton sodding Wanderers are light years ahead of us?

Edit - heart is posting this morning, not head. I’m just so f***ed off with it all.

They sign players with 100 + caps for Portugal. Year before he joined Moutinho was a regular for Monaco when they got to CL semi finals.

Been a long old time since we signed a player of that standing who wasn't totally past it. Need to start signing players of that ilk next time we get promoted.

Southampton's 3rd choice left back and a Wolves player that couldn't get anywhere near the squad.

We signed Hause for what, £3 million? Essentially as fourth choice centre back and it gave us some continuity. I’m not sure we could have improved much on that.

I think he has shown enough that he would be useful next season within the squad if we did go down.

Players like Moutinho and Neves are not signing for most premier league teams let alone Championship teams. Wolves had a unique set up that can’t be replicated very easily.

Sheff Utd have managed to stay up with players that most people would assess as Championship level but they have proved to be a very effective team.

We can do a lot better with our recruitment for sure but we absolutely need much better coaching next year. For whatever reason coaches who are progessive and cutting edge elsewhere immediately turn to shite in B6.

Forestieri at Wednesday is available on a free this summer/ autumn.

Dwight Gayle looks like a no brainer as well if we do drop (and maybe even if we don't).

I'm surprised Hause hasn't been given a run at left back.  He played a few games there in the Championship, and looked pretty handy.  Hard to see him being much worse than Targett in any case.

Did we spend £17 million on Targett?  Utter madness.

Looked promising at Fulham  - and might still look reasonable one level down.

But at that price you need something far closer to the finished article.

It was 14m I think. And surprisingly Suso was the one who pushed to sign him.
