It’s not been the season that anyone at Villa Park would have been hoping for after their relegation from the Premier League. Instead of using the parachute money to bounce right back into the big time, Villa are floundering in mediocrity in the very middle of the table. They currently sit in 13th place out of 24 sides, and 11 points from safety and nine from the promotion playoffs. While a run to the playoffs looks unlikely, this is still a side that were in the Premier League last season, and they could make it there with a few signings. Here are some suggestions:
2. Artur Boruc
If rumors are to be believed, Boruc might be available to be bought. Boruc is a goalkeeper that is capable of terrible blunders, but he’s also very capable of being a real octopus in goal when on his day. At Villa, he would represent a much-needed upgrade in the goalkeeping department, and it might help them push on further.
