Villa, morning, Aston, blog, Monday, players, soon, signing, week

I don't want to just leave what was put up yesterday and I also don't want to just repeat myself but there really is absolutely nothing new and I really do think we'll have some player announcements sooner rather than later. I should also apologise for the title of this post but really, if I had something else I would have used it, it's just that was the most fun.

Call it blind optimism if you want, because there is no proof to suggest it will be this week and in fact with everything laid out in front of me, I really shouldn't expect anything for three more weeks, but I've just got a feeling we are going to do it right this season.

So, you can all me an optimistic fool if you want or you can ridicule me for believing that we will finally start to do things the right way but it has to happen one day, even if it happening is by pure chance.

I also don't think we will have any surprises. Sure, we might get another Salifou but I fancy the majority of the players that come to us won't have been a secret, so it could actually turn out to be a very good season for us, if we do it properly, our mistakes from last season are corrected and the manager gets the full support of the owner.

So, the players that will come we know about, we will add some real quality to the starting eleven and we will strengthen our squad. Next season might be harder, but I still fancy, if everything happens as it should, that we will have a good one. Season preview coming at the end of this month and I'm sorry there is nothing else today, but you never know, we might have something later.
