Some of the names we are being linked too maupay, gayle, lolley, philips, kent none of them are good enough in my view we should be aiming higher, players like callum wilson, milner, garycahil ;orgi, betrand, deloufeiau, batishaui or even big ben, we are in the prem now let's start acting like 1, let's not waste it by signing 2nd rate players, we tried that with lambert, and if we pay 20mil for maupay we are idiots there's much better than him around.

Totally agree 20mil for Maupay is crazy when we could buy Mitrovich for 30. He bullies defenders imagine him getting the ball from our midfield.

Some of the players we have been linked with aren’t good enough I agree, but some of the names you mention are absolutely mental, we need to get real.

My god, this player isn’t good enough, that player isn’t good enough, give it a rest, we have only just got promoted, and already you are complaining about players that are only speculation.
If Deano thinks they are good enough that’s fine by me, he has done great so far.
Just to add I would rather have Maupay than Mitrovich any day, and why do you not think Maupay is good enough 4eva.

COME ON DEANO! Maupay is Brentford. BRENTFORD! Go for talented players that we can improve even more! AKA Ampadu or even MINGS. MINGS. THINK ABOUT HOW AMAZING HE'S BEEN> BUY EL GHAZI AND TAM. Just please don't waste our reward money on this crap.

I get your frustration at the original post Dave, but it’s all opinions, just the way some put them across, it reads a bit arrogant and negative sometimes.

Who would you want to sign Dave?

I’ve had quite a look to be honest, and before you ask. Big Ben is on the list haha, just as a back up though.

Wow you lot are all crazy 😂😂

We are back in the premier league, yes it’s amazing and yes we have owners with deep pockets .

However let’s walk before we can run right .

Just because Maupay is championship player does that mean he is not worth a try? Didn’t Jamie Vardy come from none league?

Maupay is 22 years and has time to grow . Mitrovic has not overly impressed either at Newcastle or Fulham in the premier league .

Imagine If Mings had not been on loan and we put a 15 million offer for him as a Bournemouth reserve player you lot would of all been up in arms saying not good enough

We have no divine right to buy any player, deep pockets or not . It takes time to build a legacy it’s not instantaneous.

The owners want to develop players and given how. The manager has taken us to the promised land I would at this moment in time trust his instincts to build what ever team he sees fit to compete in the premier league .

The job isn’t too big for him . it’s a perfect match.

No Dave you are very level headed sir and I agree with most of the things you say bud

we need to think before we can walk .

I read the below on Facebook from another villa fan who like myself feels we are getting hyped up living on past glories and the fact the getting owner have deep pockets .

He hits the nail on the head in reference to the Ajax methodology and one that I would been keen to look at and follow


‘“Ok everyone, calm down please. were all buzzing about promotion and excited about this transfer window and bloody rightfully so! just can we please not start with the "not this player, that player and them players". if dean smith has earned anything, its for us to trust what he's doing here. i mean i'd love to see tomorrow bale holding a villa shirt saying he's signing but we have to be realistic and i believe in what dean smith is doing. whether its bloody maupay or messi i'm behind smith with his calls until i have reason not to be. let's not forget the "big championship" players we signed to make it easy. not that we will walk into the prem and be a force straight away but look at Ajax, they buy promising young players and ingrain their style into them and its working.

In smith i trust UTV VTID”.
