This hasn't been a bad summer for Villa with the new signings, injury and bomb squad returns there are reasons to be optimistic
Okore > Baker
Senderos > Clark
Hutton > Lowton
Richardson > Bennett
N'Zogbia > Albrighton
Grealish > Tonev

Hopefully followed up by 3 signings in the next couple of weeks; rumoured to be Ki, Sinclair and a striker the squad is starting to shape nicely. Benteke and Kozak are expected to return earlier than expected and between them there is 25 goals if fully fit.

Hi Guys. This conspiracy theorist in me wants to ask, why no number 9 this term? Does DB getting the iconic 19 shirt mean he is well and truly in the future plans? Whilst the question about Bent is a little tongue-in-cheek, the lack of a number 9 is puzzling, don't you think?

Okore Richardson Grealish the rest are same for same The return of Gary Gardner could be good if he stays fit

I looked at this omission and asked the same question. Perhaps PL has a number 9 waiting in the wings for the £10m to hit the bank.
