Well that's a shame. Hopefully we have a few more irons in the freir.

Jonathan David is being linked with clubs higher up the food chain than us.

I look forward to getting excited about a load of players I've never heard of before, only to be disappointed when we don't sign them, or to be more disappointed later on when we do.

If we signed two DM and two CB (and I mean straight into the first team as upgrades type signings), I would be happy - it's the spine of the team that's our handicap. Wrap around them the 5/6 quality players we already have on the books (Emi x2, Matty, Lucas, Jacob, Watkins, SJM) and then have the likes of Tim, Carney, Archer, Ezri, Ings, Marvelous etc fighting it out to get into the squad) would have us comfortably top half.   

Has to be the minimum target next year. A European place would be a bonus- just don't think the squad or coaching set up is strong enough and one transfer window wont get us there.

if we sign 2 x defensive midfielders (top class ones at that) we’d have 3 including Nakamba
Gerrard is never going to be playing all that defensive nonsense that Southgate tripe’s out, we’ve got the wrong manager if that’s the sort of bollocks you want to watch

IF Press reports are true (big IF) we seem to be getting the bums rush from just about all our transfer targets so far.

Garry Thompsons book is good if you want a Villa bio. Also BFR's first book A Different Ball Game. Much better than his second one The Manager.

I don't think you've been paying attention to how deep McGinn and Ramsey have played. At times we've had all 3 of them deeper than the fullbacks.

I think if we’re going to go down the route of two DM’s we’ll buy one and use Nakamba/Iroegbunam as the second.

The players that Gerrard wants out of the club, if they don't leave in the summer - will they be part of a new bomb squad?

Whilst Konsa has been poor recently, and Mings has the odd error, I think well do well to get better defenders.  We might get ones who are better on the ball - but not as good defensively.

I think they would look a look better with a DM in front of them to help with build up from the back

Maybe get in one full back to help.

I think the midfield is the key area

Yeah - I have noticed that - but like you say a big if. 

I think some of the big name targets are leaked to make us look ambitious even if we know were not going to get them.

What worries me more is where there seems to be an interest, like JWP, and Bissoma, we just offer shit money that will never get a club to release a prize assest

Merson says Man City doesn't fit Grealish and I totally agree that Grealish won't be able to adapt to the style of play and thought like Merson
I can see JG back here on loan in another season or signed back in 3

Alvarez is coming in and he far more suits Man City style but if they sign a striker or Alvarez plays up front this would benefit Jack possibly , well for assists but just don't think he should waste more than another season of his career there.
