Maybe not another doom and gloom season. With a few players still to come in....eg Sanchez, Benteke, Okore.....we could have a decent team there.

Great result today Cool having a few beers to celebrate as we speak
Report Froggitt August 16, 2014 9:16 PM BST
Yup. Makes a change to bring in established Premiership and/or international players, albeit in their twilight years, rather than fishing for youngsters in English Leagues 1 and 2, or second/third division of various European leagues, or top division of minor European leagues.

Helenius, Bennett, Stevens, Sylla, Bowery, Moon, Bacuna, Lowton, Kozak spring readily to mind.

I'll be happy not to be looking over my shoulder for most of the season! I've got 3 sons aged under 4 so mid table Premiership for the next few years will suit me fine. Don't think we'll really have a go again until Randy sells. Great win today tho - think we're stronger than last season easily with some good players to come back UTV

Defence looks v.strong especially if we can keep Concrete Ron. Going forward not so without Benteke...N'Zogbia gives a little added dynamic to the shiit that is Gabby and Weiman.

I agree with Hamsterdam - the likes of Clark, Baker, Bennett, Luna, Lowton never really kicked on, and it looks far stronger now.....that's the main difference from last season.

I'd take almost the exact line up as you Froggitt, but switch Nzogbia in for Weimann. It is though a shame to break up the fledgling partnership of Concrete Ron and Little Ron (Senderos). But very big things are expected from Okore if he can stay fit.

---------------Guzan----------------
-Hutton---Okore----Vlaar---Cissoko--
-------Sanchez-----Delph----------
Agbonlahor-----Cole-------Nzogbia
--------------Benteke---------------

My fall time favorite Villa XI since I have supported them is....... probably......

---------------Spink-------------
Barrett---McGrath----Laursen---Staunton
---------Milner-----Barry----------
Young---------Platt--------Daley
--------------Yorke---------------

I think we would probably take a top 4 spot with that team all in their prime.

Indeed for us keeping our best players was the most important. Canales would have been good, but can see why he rejected.

Darren Bent is well passed his best.  He went down with Fulham last season.  Problem with Villa is they have no money and haven't had for a few seasons.  Leicester for instance bought Ulloa for £8 million and Kramaric for a similar fee.  Hull bought Hernandez for £10m.  They just aren't competitive financially and eventually its going to get them.
Report CLYDEBANK29 February 11, 2015 12:08 PM GMT
It's a joke they are labelled a "big club"  In terms of financial muscle it feels like they've been in the bottom 5 for the last 3/4 seasons.
Report CLYDEBANK29 February 11, 2015 12:16 PM GMT
In fairness to Lambert he inherited a club in a mess that wasted a lot of money before he went there and with owners who weren't prepared or couldn't dig deep to buy their way out.  The club has a name and expectations inconsistent with it's resources and it made the job one where you couldn't win.  Do well and it would seem he was doing an average job and do average (which is where I'd put him) and it seems he is doing a bad job.

In 3 seasons Okore at £4 million is the second most expensive purchase for Lambert which is buttons in the Premier League
Report CLYDEBANK29 February 11, 2015 12:37 PM GMT
When Villa bought Darren Bent for £18-£24 million in January 2011, a player reaching the end of his top flight career with no sell on fee, Bent left thinking he was going to a bigger club than the one he left. 

But since then Sunderland have bought Fletcher for £12m Johnson for £10m Rodwell for £10m Wickham for £8m Giaccherini for £7m.  There's no comparison
