Word out suggests that Tammy will be looking to continue his future at Chelsea as expected by most fans. Axel Tuanzebe is also very unlikely to return.

I do however fully expect Tyrone Mings to join us and with Villa having a right to match any bid clause on his loan contract along with the fact that the player wants to leave I think this one is just a matter of time.

Anwar El Ghazi and Kortney Hause both have a view to buy clause so I expect them both to also sign.

Neal Maupay is once again linked and is strongly tipped to join and so too Joe Lolley with O'Neill already stating that he won't stand in the players way. This is of course speculation and subject to Smith wanting them.

Obviously there is already many others linked and many more will be added to that list over the coming months. The future does now look bright with Smith showing his worth by taking us up and proving the doubters wrong.

The premier League is of course a different ball game and those thinking we will just buy players and finish in the top six may have to think again. We will need time and patience to build a squad worthy of those dizzy heights and if we do manage that in our first season then drop to your knees because Smith must truly be a god. UTV.

We need to be looking higher then Tammy. don't get me wrong he was amazing in the Championship but as we all know the PL is tougher.

Hello all, first time post so be gentle. I agree we need to be realistic about next season as there was a guy on the radio saying we would get a champions league place.

I think all the rumours are lazy journalism at the moment. I think if we hear anything it will be out of left field from other sources rather than from Villa Park as with Hause. Also, Mings came from nowhere too if i recollect, and nobody was aware of Guilbert. I think we have a more professional set up now and they keep cards very close to their chest.
