I'm going to say it.
I'm really, really pleased with Villa's business this window. Playing the mkt & our situation brilliantly.
Very few clubs have improved; where they have, they've overpaid and/or taken gambles.
I know it's not the done thing, but great work Villa.

New: #AVFC intend to file a complaint over alleged comments made by a Brentford backroom staff member. Some Villa staff took offence, believing it to be an insult aimed at the club.
Brentford, the Premier League & The FA were approached for comment.

Brentford, as usual, turned up to kick and defend, just as earlier in the season they added a fluke goal to the equation, then sit eleven behind the ball. If that makes you proud as a fan, then you can keep your points. A vile club.
