Depending Villa stay up themselves, they're expected to raid players from relegated clubs, links include... Matt Jarvis, Scott Dann, Martin Olsson, Mohamed Diame, Maynor Figueroa and Tim Ream (seems unlikely)
Diame, Jarvis & Dann would all be good acquisitions.
also talk of Villa scouting the Dutch and French league thoroughly.

Significant Villa changes if we stay up or not (we will stay up - we are still too good to go down).
Outs:
Heskey,dunne,delfouneseo,warnock,guzan (good player guzan but he wants 1st team football)
ins:
holman,figueroa (if wigan are relegated) & a striker (Keane? - who would link up our play well) & i hear mcleish is looking for an experienced winger.
outcome:
If we played more attacking we would be 10 points or so better off but mcleish as much as i dislike him as a fine squad & i think we have to give him until december next season to just see how we do with these youngsters & Bent upfront.
squad
Given (GK),
Hutton (or Cuellar),Baker/Clark,Collins,Lichaj/figueroa
albrighton (probably holman though),herd,ireland,n'zogbia
agbonlahor,bent
bench:hutton(or cuellar),baker (or clark),lichaj (or figueroa),weimann,bannan,keane.
and
we'll still have the likes of carruthers,stevens,petrov,gardner,delph,johnson & wickham
It could be the return of the good old days for Villa.
I am dreaming of a future back 4 of:
lichaj,clark,baker & stevens.
Future for the Villa looks very bright!

Hold onto Ireland & then can't wait to see Bent with Ireland's service.
