How many new signings do we need this month? At least 4 in my opinion. CB, LB, DMC and finally a creative offensive player which the fans turning up and paying to see a game at villa park deserve. Watching your team at home getting outplayed nearly every week is torture. I wonder if The manager, board and chairman are aware of the fact that statistically we're the worst home team in the football league.
The club needs to show some ambition in this window, we'r all fed up of the cheap imports now. However with wage cap implemented we can only afford to buy cheap unknowns again so why bother going to watch the dross at villa park? If the club aren't willing to spend money on good players why should we pay good money to go watch them?

The point in going to "see this dross" is they're our team. I know it's poor and it's absolutely gutting to see us in the state we are but if we turn away because things are going poorly how will that inspire the players and how are we ever going to s*** this stupid "fickle fans" reputation.
I understand Finch's frustration but the guy who posted about our "fickle fans reputation" is spot on
I was there on Boxing day and it was like a library, until the booing at the end
They're crap, talentless players but they are our crap, talentless players
The point is a valid enough one, but I'd like to also let you know fans of ALL teams are fickle. The reason why villa fans have this reputation is because of our proud history in comparison to today's showing. I'm not expecting the dizzy heights towards the top of the league or anything like that but a lack of desire & ambition from the club doesn't reflect the ticket price, travel etc for me. and I'd suggest if the club aren't willing to invest the fans shouldn't either
