We asked you what still needs to happen before the transfer window closes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.
Here are some of your comments:
Rob: I can’t see us signing anyone else this January with PSR restrictions, so my hope is that Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba stays. Having someone with pace on our bench is just what we need now Donyell Malen’s gone. Unai Emery wants to loan him out so he can get game time more regularly, but he changed the game against Salzburg as a substitute. He could be waiting in the wings to give our squad a boost when we need it the most.
Jimmy: What we need depends on two things we don’t know. How likely it is that John McGinn is back by early to mid March and whether Alysson is part of the first-team plans. If McGinn is back, and Alysson will be given a run, then we can get away without additions. But if one or both is not happening then we need a winger or an attacking midfielder.
Chris: With the lack of midfielders currently available, another one wouldn’t go amiss. I liked the look of Angel Gomes at Marseilles a couple of seasons back but he seems to have vanished off the radar and now seems to be surfacing on loan at Wolves. A few months under Unai could have turned him back round again. Another right-back would be nice seeing as though Andres Garcia is either injured permanently or not trusted enough. But we are hamstrung by PSR and it’s incredibly difficult to recruit the required quality.
Chay: The best thing Villa should do is do nothing as our squad is strong enough to compete (as long as no more injuries). If not, then consider some loan deals for the midfield or the right-back position for more needed cover.
Cassie: Depending on the amount Villa can spend, I would like to see Harry Wilson join as his experience in defending and attacking is what we urgently need in midfield. I would sign Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool, but his wages could be difficult. These two players added to the squad would ensure a top-two finish – and if Arsenal slip up… then winners!
Adam: A combative defensive midfielder (or two) – preferably with a healthy injury record! A new contract for Emery to ward off Real Madrid or Manchester United also wouldn’t go amiss.
