With Tim Sherwood at the helm, the Villains will be more optimistic this season than last, and despite the loss of Christian Benteke and captain Fabian Delph, the money is there for them to improve as a squad and with 7 signings made already it is clear to see that Sherwood is doing just that. Ayew looks like a great signing for Villa and fans will be hoping he flourishes early on. Despite the 4-0 loss in the FA Cup Final to Arsenal, the Villains can be pleased that they made it that far, Tim Sherwood guided them there brilliantly and they came up against a brilliant Arsenal side in good form. I have Aston Villa finishing in mid-table, 11th place, not shocking anyone but comfortably away from the relegation zone, which will please the fans of the side that finished 17th last year.
Best Transfer Business:
Micah Richards is Villa's best addition to the side, he has shown his talent in the Premier League already and to snap him up on a free is a great coup for Sherwood. Signing strikers Rudy Gestede and Jordan Ayew to replace the gap left by Benteke leaving was well don too, they aren't the same calibre of player, but Sherwood needed to improve the depth of his strike force and has successfully done so. The selling of Fabian Delph rivals this though, as I'm amazed anyone pay a fiver for the guy, let alone £8 million.
Worst Transfer Business:
Although £32.5 million is a lot, and they had to accept it, the Villains will be gutted to see Christian Benteke leave the club. It has been a good transfer window for Tim Sherwood though, and the club do have a lot of money now.
