"I hope I'm wrong" has to be the most popular saying on here😂.

Bk realism and reality check works for me.

It's a tough one Caffu, I'm sure everybody is hopeful Villa push on this season, me included, but I just feel a little deflated about the transfer window. A statement signing in Midfield would genuinely transform this team, for me it's the missing piece of the jigsaw to confidently compete with the Evertons, West Hams, and possibly even the Leicesters etc of the world. That being said, I still think this is a solid team that worst case won't see us regress if witnessing little genuine progression this season.

Completely see where you're coming from there BK, a strong midfielder to pull it all together would've been great and think we can all see that, but on the other hand if you'd have listed the players we have signed at the start of the window I suspect most would've taken it.
Losing our best player from an already limited squad was always going to set us back, but I really do think this will be a case of one step backwards, two steps forward in the medium to long term. the only problem is we'll have to put up with the usual reactionary crowd calling for heads to roll in the short term.

I think you're right DBS, and I don't want to sound super negative (as I'm not, honestly 😂) but I do feel a little let down by this window as we are so close, one last push and some luck with injuries etc and we had a genuine chance of good progression this season. Anyway, I've probably spoken about this too much, you will all be sick of hearing from me. UTV.

Haha no, it's all good. we always want a bit more don't we, so completely get that feeling. The good thing is now we have a really strong foundation. we might have to be patient and give our new players and kids some room to grow (we're renowned for that as a fan base aren't we? ) but the 100m on the balance sheet, improved overall squad strength and ambitious owners means we can be optimistic. if we get over the initial bump or two in the road without having a meltdown. the next few fixtures look pretty tough. but then so did Liverpool at VP last season.

As advised by me a couple of weeks ago I said our business for incoming transfers was completed for this window according to my sources at VP.
There may be one more to leave before midnight but the player is reluctant to go.

You said we were going to sign one more gaffer, you getting confused?

We have had a great transfer window. Just had bad luck with pre-season friendlies and injuries. Can't wait until DS got a fully fit squad to pick from.
