Our 'Net spend' over the last 3 seasons has just been £8 Mill. WOW. Is that really so!! Amazing job by Roy on a relative 'shoestring' then!! I think we 'got away with it' not spending last year, but might not be so lucky this close season, now the senior players are a year older. Major overall needed in my opinion!!

Last night I was in conversation with someone involved in the game and I expressed real concerns about our prospects next season. Ageing squad with hardly any resale value and the transfer coffers hardly filled to the brim.

After the Leicester fiasco,Roy was saying how we desperately need a striker like Vardy or Ings. Guess what,Ings was offered to us but we would not apparently pay asking price!!

Villa spent close to £150 million in the last year. I would much rather our boring football than to have spent that money on average players and still get relegated. Roy is doing a fantastic job under the circumstances.

Roy is doing a fantastic job under the circumstances. My understanding is that A.Villa signed 17 players this season,including a couple of loans.

We tried to sign Ings when we played Bournemouth in a pre season friendly years ago. I believe a deal was close to being done and then they upped the price.
