I have to say, it's only a few friendlies, but christ, Amavi looks a good player.

 

EDIT as does Idrissa Gueye, to be fair.

Managed to see a bit of Villa v Wolves. Thoroughly agree with you about the new signings, Amavi looked very good.

Amavi might be very good but how much difference can a left back really make. £9million considering the absolute state of the rest of the team is laughable.

 

I'd say depending on the system full backs can be the most important players. The amount of times I raged watching a Newcastle team with Carr and Babayaro playing wank there would attest to that.

Think Villa are having a good window, personally.

 

The Adebayor and Berbatov signings take pressure off Ayew, and between those two they get prem experience and at the very least ten goals.

 

Still not sure about their centre backs though.

I don't like brands trying to be funny and joining in on Twitter. Fuck off Tesco. Come back, pay your fucking taxes and then fuck off again into the sea.

See, now I know that Muller Crunch Corners are half price and so obviously I'll want to buy them now as well. It's tragic.

It would be if that was where the spending stopped. It isn't though.

 

Baker will be going and a new CB coming in, you can bet your house on that. Clark and Richards have looked decent there pre-season, mind, and Clark had a good season last year.

 

Midfield choices of Gueye, Westwood, Veretout, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish, Sinclair plus others give us options in the middle, too.

 

It's also worth noting that thus far we have only just about spent the Benteke money thus far, there's also the 8 for Delph plus whatever we'd have had earmarked had those two stayed.

 

Ayew 8

Amavi 9

Veretout 8 (apparently)

Richards 0

Sinclair 2.5

Gueye 7

 

Adebayor I can live with, on a loan. Berbatov I find incredibly hard to believe, though.

 

More than anything else, though, if you think the state of the rest of the squad now is laughable, you haven't been paying much attention to the spirit-sapping cheap shit we've hoovered up the last few seasons.

 

Thank fuck some of them are moving on.

 

Weimann has gone, Bent is off the books, Given has gone, Vlaar is off the wage bill (with his constant injuries) and I'd expect N'Zogbia, Bennett, Tonev, Senderos and Baker, at the very least, to be shifted soon as well.

 

We needed an almost total overhaul. We've started doing it.
