What happened to all those excuses we heard about getting players in January?

Well done Villa, I was beginning to doubt for the first time back in the summer, but the manager change and subsequent signings have put me firmly back in the 'not-fucking-about-here' camp.

I do wonder whether they wanted to see how stuff developed with Smith rather than throwing more money at it. And whether Gerrard was approached back then too.

Anyway, I'm happy with this deal. Another first team improvement.

Yep. I love a good upgrade whenever. No own goals please. 

Anwar the other way will be good business especially if we get the reported £15 million. As much as I liked him I know he had his limitations in many areas.

I guess Gerrard came on the promise of having money to spend (as any new manager would).

Personally I wouldn't take Bissouma until off the field issues play out.

It's now clear they held back a lot of cash from Dean to see how things went...

I think it's fairly clear Dean wasn't in their long term plans. I'm sort of surprised that he was kept on for more than one season in the back in the prem.  That may sound callous but if you're ambitious for success then you make decisions that are going to give you a better chance of that.

I think you're right, but then the impressive start we made to last season would have made changed their mind. Then the way the season tailed off and the shit run this season did for him. Edens was apoplectic when the Wolves third went in, and I thought then that Smith was a dead man walking.
