I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I really like the fact that a lot of our starting line up are now 24,25,26. Not many 18-21 year olds not many 31-34. All in their prime.

I'm in my prime. I'm  66.

I presume you mean Ferdinand? Cole was long gone from them at that stage. Ferdinand would have been a much better signing I'd imagine, although easy in hindsight.

I think he meant Big Dunc.

I think it was Ferguson. We almost signed Ferdinand earlier in the previous season, but he changed his mind and joined Newcastle. Collymore and Curcic were exactly the kind of players we needed that preseason - a creative spark and goals. But mentally they were completely unsuited and moved us backwards.

It's not even a prime number, sorry!

Another good signing from Dean. Low risk and the onus is on Barkley to perform. One more in I reckon.

Delighted to get a number 8 with the talent of Barkley. If his application is right, he will be a really influential player for us. Another player that can hit a decent pass between the lines, and won't take the time to settle that Loftus Cheek might fitness wise.

I read that Josh King might be down to £10 million in a cut price deal due to his contract and Bournemouth knowing he wants out. At that price he wouldn't be a bad shout to round off the forward options, although I still reckon we are playing time with Benrahma to get the price down.

I agree Jim.  There is still some movement to be done with King, Sarr, Buendia, Benrahma and maybe, Rashica.  I can certainly see one of them coming to Villa. Would top off what has been a very good window for us. I feel we are now so much more competitive.

This transfer window has peaked, no further signings surely 👀

always makes me laugh on this thread no matter how many signings we make people still post stuff like

'another CDM a right back & Central defender and a winger for cover and i'll be happy'

and you think we've just signed 10 players and you still looking to bring in another half a team

Well, next May I'll be 67. I can celebrate Villa's wonderful journey towards primacy AND be a prime age.

Can't see us spending another 40M on Sarr. The others are all possible, think we are after another Winger still

I'm not so sure now we've signed Barkley, I'd thought they may move Jack back into the middle but that's not likely now. Can't see us splashing out on another wide player, would potentially leave 2 new signings plus Trez scrapping for one shirt.

Cantwell linked with Leeds for £15m, that would be a good signing for that price. I would have been all over that but we’ve got Barkley now.

Cantwell sounds like a twat and he has really shit hair. He can go to the salon with Ayling and Phillips.
