Afternoon all.
So the transfer window has closed for Villa, we know who we've lost, gained and are keeping. Assuming we largely stick to playing 4-2-3-1, and we want at least two players for every position, we are shaping up as below.
GKs. Zion and Bizot
Def. Cash / AWB / THB / Vic / Pau / Mings / Maat / Rug
Hold mid. Boub / Gomes / Onana / Leon
Front three. Garn / Aly / Manzam / Ginny / Emi / Mbaye
Striker.
Nico / Tammy
And we also have - Ross / Madjo / Hemmings / Cisse / Bogarde. Who will all play a part (I'm not counting Bailey).
So, up to 29 players who could play a role for Villa this season. Fitness and squad rules allowing.
Let's keep up the great support (good atmosphere last night despite the absent North Stand). And let's keep a sense of reality on our expectations.
Very excited to see how we go in the weeks ahead.

We need one more experienced and effective striker before the deadline. Definitely. Forget about rebreeding Tammy! We need Mateta or similar quality level.
