Villa have signed some of the lads they had on loan and then signed some more players.
Fulham did something similar if I recall rightly.
Manager with no PL experience, same at Fulham wasn't it?
Owners bankrolling losses - check.

Re: Heats
I think your a disgrace Danny1882 utter rubbish .Thanks Tom for everything .He wanted out like in the January transfer window. So he could play think the fee in this day and age is low but was always expecting to lose one keeper admittedly thought it would be Hart even then Tom wouldn't accept being second fiddle

Re: Heats
Would be heartbreaking if Heaton left for Villa and then had an outstanding season and kept them in the Prem, especially if at our expense. I understand his position and the club's position, but I just hope it isn't a very costly mistake.

Re: Heats
I'd feel a lot happier about this transfer if Pope had managed to get a decent pre-season under his belt and looked in good shape to start the season strong.
As it is, Pope hasn't had a great pre-season and may not be ready to start the new season, leaving us with Hart and Legzdins as our two goalkeepers going into the new season, which is far from ideal.
Hopefully Pope will be ok and won't have any other injury problems, and hopefully we use this money to strengthen other areas where we're very light.

Villa's strategy is led by their manager who has signed three of the loan players who got them up. Signed two players he knows well from his previous club, made a big signing of a striker to fill the hole left by Abraham and as added a couple of other young players with potential like Taggert.
Doesnt mean Villa wont struggle but their approach and strategy this summer is nothing like Fulham's shambolic efforts

Re: Heats
I'm being a bit lazy here but....
Do we know the specifics of why Heaton is leaving.
He had a year left on his contract and had been in negotiations with the Club on a new deal. Do we know what that new deal was. And if so what were the stumbling blocks. Did he want more money or a longer deal that was on offer. What caused him not to sign a new deal.
And, I guess, if we are unable to reach an agreement and a club such as Villa put in an offer then we are obliged to look at it and allow Heaton the same courtesy. It is unfortunate that he is going to a team that could be one of our main rivals at the bottom end of the table.

We can’t make that big name signing to get the fans excited, but we can sell the English international fans favourite to a rival to really put the boot in.

Good business from the club. Tom wanted away, he had only had 12 months left on his contract and we have got a few bob for him. What now happens with Hart is the question, does he stay or does he go?
Looks like this young fella from Leeds is coming in and from what I have seen of him he is not ready for Premier league football, so I wouldn't be surprised if Joe stays

Re: Heats
We have to be pragmatic and assume that Tom was unsettled as he wasn't GUARANTEED to be first choice, he's not that young any more and he had the chance to go to another PL club and get a hefty wage + lengthy contract. Add to that that BFC are getting a very decent return on basically no original outlay and both parties probably thought it was time to cut and run. It's very sad tbh and I think he'll be brilliant for them, but we have to be realistic.

The medical might not be a formality. His injury was much more serious than Pope's and could be a contributory factor to why we decided to let him leave.

Someone has to go for the next lad to come in, we've been offered a decent fee for someone who we signed for free, we've got the last lad from the conveyor belt ready to be Number 1 and he's proven to us all that he's a perfect replacement for Heaton.
We've got a decent number 2 in Hart, if he stays, and this lad from Leeds is going to replace Hart one way or another....

Re: Heats
It isn't simply a case of Villa securing the services of our best keeper.
Villa have spent a lot of money assembling a squad. The biggest problem with doing that is a lack of cohesion and unity.
We just sold them an immensely strong personality, with a wealth of experience, and one the key cornerstones of the character based approach that has allowed us to punch above our weight.
To put it simply we just sold a direct rival the most important piece of their jigsaw puzzle. We have provided them with an impressive leader who can command respect and tie all of that spending together into an effective force or steady the ship if it looks like it is falling apart.
Above and beyond the playing ability of Tom, Villa have just bought the blueprint for our culture and the perfect person to establish it for them.
When you deduct the £3.5m ( less sell on clause ) we are spending on BPF we have managed to add £5m ( plus additions, which may be linked to them staying up ) to our dry powder store in return.
Fantastic piece of business, for Villa. Their chance of staying up this season and building for the future just took a huge step forward. Nothing is ever guaranteed in the Premier League, but poaching Tom has swung the odds in their favour.

Re: Heats
I can't see a manager like Dean Smith letting them go out like that, when he came into Villa first thing he said was that he felt they were weak and overrun in the middle.. and worked to change that. Heaton is a very assured keeper and a great signing for them.. or soon will be.
Yes they might still go down, but I don't think they will be a wide open big spending soft touch like Fulham were.
But to be honest, I'd be surprised if Villa finished below 13th next season.. but maybe that's just me.

None of that was mentioned in the Guardian's preview on Burnley for the coming season.

"Burnley’s first European adventure in half a century was short and sweet and over by the end of August. As they had lost two of their first three league fixtures by that stage no one was unduly concerned about a truncated Europa League campaign, though Dyche believes the effect of starting the season early and playing six more competitive matches than their Premier League rivals was an energy drain that began to resolve itself only around Christmas"

All well and good being classy but well look foolish if we go down and they stay up at our expense as I'll be sure Heaton will have a say in that one way or another.
