I can honestly say that this is the first season in a long time I am excited. In seasons before we have been linked with free agents, has beens and dross. To be linked with half of the names this summer has been exciting enough. If Sherwood can sign 3 new players and load off Senderos, Bennett, N'zogbia.
If we can sign keita and Traore. happy days! Also Adebayor fancies a move to West Ham in order to stay in London. suits me fine!

Looks like Senderos is off to Turkey.

Embarrassing that we once signed this guy, always been a car crash of defender.

He looked good at start partnered with Vlaar, but got injured

Also we signed him for nothing and are getting a couple of million out of him 12 months later - so not bad business overall.

Hi everyone,
First time post on here.Been supporting the Villa since 5 years old and have read a lot of posts on here recently that have urged me to comment. For the first time in a while I am genuwinely optimistic about the coming season. YES. we lost Benteke, YES. we lost Delph but the recent transfer activity has been excellent due to both players being sold. We have a manager who seems to be bold, exciting and knows exactly what he wants. Lerner seems keen to invest in a team that has been laclustre these past 3-4 years. With talk of him wanting to sell the club he has forced his hand into trying to make the club more attractive to potential suitors. Through investing in new players, new talent.Randy is essentially making us attractive to new buyers.
We have had a squads for the previous 4 years that were stale, untouchable and unattractive. But now we are moving in the right direction. Sherwood has done well to clear the deadwood and is trying his upmost to clear out Baker, Tonev, N'Zogbia, Cissoko etc.
He wants a squad that can realisticaly compete in the league. I think Tom Fox was an amazing addition to Villa due to his experience and drive.He knows what works and what doesn't. I am genuwinely excited for this season and I hope we can push on and at least not be stuck in a drab relegation battle once more

Koeman has stated today that he is not for sale. Reports linking us with Monaco defender and Fonte are off the mark. both lazy journalism. However, I have seen reports today that we have supposedly bid for the young Lazio striker. Still unconvinced by reports. I hope Traore signs. A SIGNAL OF INTENT FOR ONCE! But I thought he would have signed by today which makes me sceptical. We should throw our hat into the ring for Van Dijk. a quality centre half (young, chanpions league experience and can score goals) but I feel that Koeman has the power with his Dutch links. We still need another centre back.
