Kind of says it all about Villa really doesn't it, they really have been picked clean over the last few years. They used to have a pretty decent squad.

Cabaye is quality
Ben Arfa, if he ever has a chance at staying fit, could be a steal
I used to love Adam Johnson, he's dead to me now because he isn't as good as I thought he was.
Benteke and Remy are the only obvious targets due to our continued striker debacle.
Possibly also Mbia (don't forget he manhandled Dembele) and Granero for CM reinforcement assuming no higher profile addition there. Shaw if we are thinking very long term.
Anyone else is not worth the effort.

Also, all the flowers you sent him with no response.
I think the fact I sprayed them with rohypnol didn't help matters. Bad planning on my part.
HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO READ THE CARD IF HE PASSES OUT AFTER HE SMELLS THEM?
I know man, I let myself down.
I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned, but I see So'ton's Morgan Schneiderlin as a perfect replacement for Parker/understudy to Sandro. He's quick, aware, has good attributes for a DM and weighs in with the odd goal.
However, as already mentioned above, I'd take Benteke, Lallana and Figueroa. Snodgrass and Hoolahan look alright at Narch, but I don't think they're Spurs quality (/Spursy enough).

Weimann would be decent cover as right-winger and striker I think.
:adebaehug:I know man, I let myself down.
It does and it doesnt. A lot of their young players look pretty decent, and I firmly believe a few experienced buys would see that team come together terrifically well (imagine the same team with Dawson and Parker)
I also think, though, they are a bit too raw to be of interest to us. Benteke is clearly raw but even at his (very!) unpolished level he is a cut above - which makes him very interesting to me
Well that's exactly it they came into this season woefully under prepared. And have sold/ farmed off their experienced players over successive seasons.
My saints supporting colleague always bangs on about Shaw being the next bale
that's because he'll most likely become what bale was supposed to become, a great left BACK
