I have just invited Dr Xia to join this sight via a direct tweet on twitter. I have asked what is happening. By the looks of his recent tweets he is telling fans that they don't want to rush, because they want the right players this time, he also says " don't underestimate the current squad! Hope i'm wrong but looks like excuses not to spend. God help us please.

Kingy get on your phone, &find out what's going down in China town . Newcastle seem to be buying everything in sight, even the Wolves are reported to be making £16m bids . The whole worlds going crazy . Iv been telling people to hold on and see, but even I'm starting to worry . we keep being told, midfielder and striker on their way they won't have much time to bed in . So come on Kingy work your magic, say the words that will put our minds at rest . Perhaps the good Dr Tony, has forgotten his PIN number . Onwards and Upwards Villa forever.

Are some people misreading the title of this forum as 'Aston Villa Ranter'? I'm not sure my definition of Banter would be venting your spleen over transfers and the management. Surely, that's what Twitter is for - just ask Dr Tony .

Went to the match against Boro ; a pretty poor game betw÷n 2 average teams. Useful in terms of fitness though.
Based solely on what I saw on Saturday I would say that Westwood Cissokho and Gestede are simply awful and need to be cleared out ASAP.
Followed closely by Sinclair Agbonlahor Richards and Lescott.
However, as we know, transfers are not simple there are many complications. So we all need to be patient and trust Xia, RDM and SC to give our team some character and quality.
Tshibola looks like a great signing and don't forget we still have Adama Trainee to come back.

Been saying bout Westwood for ages not good wnough.

I hate to be negative again but it seems Ian Hollaway " a man who knows the championship very well" has given a matter of fact verdict on the Championship outcome this term. He feels Newcastle will win it and to my mind not suprisingly he thinks Villa will finnish 16th or even relegated again! Players attitudes and the clubs lack of investment in the squad this summer his main reasons for that. Some of us on here have been saying it for weeks only to be shot down for dařing to have an oppinion or tell the truth. Well said Ian maybe Dr Xia will do something about it now with only five days to go to the start!? Shocking is what it is.

01 Aug 2016 10:35:55
I think the reason people are shooting down all of the negative comments are because THE SEASON HAS NOT STARTED YET!
I believe, that the current squad we have are capable of winning the Championship if (and this is a big if) they get their heads straight and give their all. From a capability level, we have players that could blow this league apart and that includes the likes of Gabby and Lescott.
If our management team 'manages' the egos and attitudes in the correct way, which I am confident RDMT and SC can do, we don't necessarily need anyone else in.

Okore
Richards
Lescott
Sinclar
Traore
Tshibola
All the Jordans
Gabby
Gestede
If you imagine these players playing the way we know they can, can you honestly see us finishing out of the top 2?

Is the the same Ian Holloway who has done absolutely jack poo in his career and been sacked by more chairmen than you have posted rubbish and that's saying something!

01 Aug 2016 11:20:09
Wow we nearly made 24 hours without someone whinging.

01 Aug 2016 11:47:18
Plsying the way we know they can Villasglass!? They got us relegated how
Many more times! These same debates would have raged on at Leeds and Man city in the past, i just can't believe some of you are so one eyed! Paul Mesron, Ian Hollaway and countless others have the oppinion but according to you guys there views mean nothing but of course yours do!

01 Aug 2016 11:51:08
Any news on Signings anyone? Dr Xia any tweets? On a positivd note for the midlands at least Wolves are ready to have a proper go.

01 Aug 2016 12:26:17
Are they? Then may i suggest you go on their site then and comment as I think your a closet yamma.

01 Aug 2016 12:34:30
Same guy who said Leicester will get relegated last year!

01 Aug 2016 12:37:41
My point is that, we have been mismanaged over the last 5 years and not all the blame for last years shambles should lie at the feet of the players!
Yes, they didn't turn up, yes, their attitude stunk, yes, they were a complete embarrassment, but were they reprimanded, were they dropped and their place under threat? we were all crying out for this to happen and some of the youth to be given a chance.
With the right management, some (not all) of these players could find their form and recognise their reputation that they came to Villa Park with.

01 Aug 2016 12:54:32
That's exactly what they are, opinions. That doesn't mean they are right. Maybe we won't sign another player and we lose a heap of games, but maybe we make 2 or 3 key signings and we don't lose any. We don't actually know. As a fan I think we are all entitled to some hope, we have a new owner and manager and some good back room staff, can't we wait what happens in the transfer window and the first few games before the doom and gloom starts. It's not very often one of these pundits predicts the outcome of a league accurately.

01 Aug 2016 13:37:35
Villa glass I'm sorry mate but your dillusional if you think that lot will finish 2nd

I think we will get one hell of a reality check against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday an then watch all the eternal optimists jump on board the bandwagon.

01 Aug 2016 14:55:01
Bang on the mark aruston! People will be on here going mad after we get a little lesson in Championship reality on Sunday! Just for the record by the way i am absolutely Villa til i die, which is why i am so appauled at what is not happening. i'm affraid we have a Chinese Lerner on board albeit with a bigger mouth! Really hope i'm very wrong.
