'Real talent and huge potential' - fans on Villa's summer transfers

We asked for your views on Aston Villa's squad with the transfer window shut until January.

Here are some of your comments:

Mike: There's real talent and huge potential in this new group of players and I'm genuinely excited to see how Unai Emery moulds them into a team of his own design. Last season we learned how a slow start doesn't necessarily mean a poor season and it's clear that our manager will get more out of these players than they themselves knew they were capable of. Let the fun begin!

Rob: Despite others being negative about Villa's transfers I'm actually quite excited by it. There is young pace and power that can be moulded by the great Emery and still some good older experience in there. It may take a while to settle them all in but Villa will still be in decent shape.

Scott: It's always tough to say goodbye to players that have served the club so well. However new seeds have to be planted for the next crop to flourish and what a packet of seeds Emery has brought! This selection of players could be a class side for years to come.

Richard: Very happy with Villa's transfer dealings. Good money for departing players and sensible money for the incoming ones. Lots of exciting young talent to watch. Emery took a relegation threatened team and quickly turned them into top seven players. He can surely do the same again with players he has had a say in. Probably wasn't expecting Ollie Watkins to go, but we have two capable replacements.
