Its generally accepted by most, Villa fans apart that Martin O'Neill takes his time over transfers, preferring to leave matters until the last possible moment.
Supposedly his reputation in paying big wages tends to encourage players to join him when possibly better alternatives exist.
Hmm.Thing is he's now dealing witht he big boys, not just in the Premiership, but all accross Europe and players you may have thought were certs to join, players who have even openly said they would love to could end up going elsewhere.
Thing is as everyone is so tight lipped, fans aren't going to find out until the season starts and the signings made aren't all that was expected.
Take Man City, not that fashionable side, still without a manager and nearly with a new owner, on the verge of signing at least 1 Villa hopeful, why?
Time will tell, with the amount of players now departed the level of inputs must be high, either that or there are some really special youngsters coming through
And I mean coming through and not just players used to prove a point like Osborne, was last season.
If we needed 1, 2 even 3 players to finalise the squad I could understand the tardiness from O'Neill, but 5 players, no matter their quality just is not enough, the squad isn't big enough.
Its interesting to see the owners mouthpiece offering his support for the delays, O'Neill had better deliver, and big time, he won't be there long if he gets it wrong
