There's player talk of Emery wanting a small family. I'll trust him with how we end up at the end of the window Yep, I do trust him. He’s earned that trust. I suppose it just seems that we’re a bit too thin on the ground, but as you say and most of us agree if it’s Unai’s choice then so be it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad window and the incomings are good, but we needed a right back and haven't got one, we needed a better backup goalkeeper who is good with his feet, we haven't got one, and with Buendia and Mings out for the season and letting Coutinho and Archer go our squad depth is no better than last season. Our net spend this summer after finishing in Europe for the first time in 13 years is just £30m (approximately) at present. That simply isn't enough if we want to challenge for a top 4 place and win a trophy which Unai keeps saying we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s been a bad window, but I do think in terms of numbers we’re a bit low. But as said before if Emery is happy then I trust him.

It's just that the 2 season ending? injuries to Mings & Buendia means we should be in for a additional player or 2. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Why are people completely ignoring the fact that Emery said just a few days ago that we need something more, as in more singings to help the team, and he spoke in relative length about it, he talked making signings and then more if players leave. We will be making more sigings, just because papers don't have a running commentary doesn't mean to say things aren't happening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That simply isn't enough if we want to challenge for a top 4 place and win a trophy which Unai keeps saying we do. To be fair, I think that Unai has fully earned our trust. If someone suitable is available, at the right price, then we will do business. If nobody suitable is available, we will keep our powder dry. This is much better than panic buying and being stuck with players who offer very little. Remember people saying similar things in January and that all worked out ok. FFP is an ongoing thing. We need to spend wisely even if that means being patient. Our signings this summer have been excellent. We continue to evolve and are on the right path. We need to trust the process. It’s a genuinely brilliant time to be a Villa fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) With the squad is as it is now there's room for 1 more signing (providing Coutinho leaves as expected and of course another if Digne left) before you're probably going to start having to leave at least a player out of the euro squad, etc. The annoying thing is that Villa actually have a side with pretty strong depth in most positions, we just have about 6 injuries at the moment. Villa will get 1 in, maybe 2. But signing any more than that will cause problems. Squad bloat will be avoided.
