Seems like you’re pretty concerned with everything. We can’t build a European caliber side in one or two windows, it takes time, consistency, and money.
I think all we can ask for this window is signing players to close the holes that were exposed in our Starting XI last season. Competition is great, but we aren’t at the point where £20 million signs us a player who can battle for first team football. To me, £20 million in current Villa terms mean we expect that player to be a consistent starter and an improvement.
Now it’s up to the recruitment team to ensure we’ve dropped the £££ on the right pieces.
