Great signing for them, but losing Grealish is massive.

I can see Villa getting top 6 this season.

Without Grealish?

They struggled Without him and Dean Smith isn't doing anything special with the money he has to spend

They'll obviously miss Grealish, but Ings, Bailey and Buendia is a brilliant window for them

Even without Grealish I think they are pushing top 6

They have done some incredible business this window. Imagine if they get McNeil now as well they could have one of the best midfield/attacks in the league

Will be very decent for the half season he’s fit.

Huge blow for Saints. VERY ordinary team without Ings.

Last season their entire team was built around Grealish. Without him they looked bang average. Signings don’t mean success.

We might have to sell McNeil if we want to make 3 or 4 quality signings.

40 million for Dwight and is replacement at a cost of 15, with a right winger at a further 15, then a central midfielder at another 15. It would only see us with an extra outlay of 5, although the wages could be the stumbling block

It was a lack of goals that made them struggle without Grealish last season. Signing Ings, if they can keep him fit, will certainly help remedy that.

Norwich want 40 million for Cantwell who has 1 year left on his contract (with a 1 year option) and has hardly played at the top level. McNeil has 3 + years left and has played and done well consistently for much longer in the PL - bidding starts at 50 or forget it

Buendia is an outstanding player and will do very well for them I think. Grealish of course a huge loss but Buendia, Bailey and now Ings compensates for it.

Saints will replace him with Adam Armstrong I imagine, been linked repeatedly and a similar type of player.

They best hope he can notch at this level or they’re bang in trouble.

Undisclosed according to Sky. Can't see it being £25m if undisclosed.

I thought Villa would be weaker without Grealish. Not really convinced that Baily and Buendia are an upgrade because Grealish is next level and that's hard to replace. Put Ings in to the mix and they're looking stronger for sure.

On the positive side it weakens Southampton but you assume they'll now go for Armstrong as a like-for-like replacement, in which case it weakens Rovers too :lol:

I think one of our targets is a left winger type. Maybe the plan is to bring in someone cheaper to replace McNeil and then use the surplus cash from the sale to strengthen our right wing and central midfield

Armstrong is untested at Premier league level and I really can't see him being in the same class as Ings.

Struggle? I’d bet on them for top 10 at a minimum, probably pushing 7th for Europa.

Excellent signing. I’d read somewhere that Southampton were offering him a heck of an increase so it makes you think Villa have really pushed the boat out. Stay fit and he’ll be a top signing for them.

I like Danny Ings, but this is hardly the Man City move that was rumoured to be happening.

Not really a step up from Saints, especially when Villa look like losing Grealish.
