Looking at what will be the opening lineup for Aston Villa against Newcastle United, this is a strong roster. Although the club was unable to make any signings, when looking across the squad, this is a highly competitive unit that will be able to pose problems for even the best of sides in the Premier League.
It should be clear by now that Villa have plenty of quality throughout the roster. Every club is apparently in line to try to sign someone from the club after all. When also looking at the social media activity from other fan bases, the Villa players are often seen toward the top of any potential wish list for their own interests.
This should indicate the type of talent that Villa have and will be able to line up against the competition this year in the EPL.
Look at the backline, for example; Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa, and Tyrone Mings would all be worthy regular starters at any club. Instead at Villa, someone is always going to be left out of the starting XI, leaving Unai Emery a difficult decision to make each match.
The midfield is especially strong with the likes of Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, and Amadou Onana. Having the available options for Villa shows just how well this squad is put together.
Outlook for Aston Villa at the moment
Perhaps the lack of signings is dimming the excitement among Villa fans. If one only takes a step back, though, and looks at how well-rounded this team is, there is plenty of reason to believe that Villa will be able to achieve a lot during the upcoming campaign.
Individually, there are many players at Villa who are the envy of others. There could, of course, be areas in which the side gets stronger. That is true of everyone, even for the ones that seemingly have the ability to spend money without consequence. Villa are in a great position for this season that is about to begin.
