If Aston Villa could have a realistic dream Championship squad, what would it look like? Who would comprise the starting eleven?

Let’s pretend owner Dr. Tony Xia has another £50 million to work with. Manager Steve Bruce immediately starts scouring the transfer market for high quality players to make his promotion push.

FAIR WARNING: These are realistic Villa targets for a team playing in the second-tier of English football. The club is not signing Neymar, Eden Hazard, or Thomas Müller.

Many of these players are current Villa starters who need just a touch more quality around them in order to produce.
