Aston Villa F.C. Season 2023/24 - End of the season review
Despite putting in a great fight, our season ended in 5th position. I lost hope for top 4 finish so many times, that becoming 5th wasn't a real disappointment after all, although the ending of the last game was a bitter pill to swallow.
We managed to get 20 points more than in season 1, so this season was clearly a massive step towards the right direction.
West Ham has already sold Declan Rice to Liverpool but I'll take a look at their and other relagated teams' squads, and see if we can get few players on cut price deals like we did with Brighton & Caicedo at the end of the last season.

You can see our player stats on the spoiler below.
I'm satisfied with the guys on green but Andreas Schjelderup being our worst performer is a real cause for concern. I need to take some responsibility as well, as I've used him at AMC and as a part of a middle 3 in multiple roles across multiple formations but despite having great attributes, I can't seem to find the best role for him. He is still just 19 years old, so he has time, but he needs to start delivering sooner rather than later.
I'll insert Schjelderup's profile below, so maybe you can tell me how you have used or would use him if he was on your team?
I'll return with a transfer update on few days time. I think we are in a situation in which the squad depth is fine and every new player should be a clear upgrade or at least bring something very specific for the team. I will surely go for quality over quantity on the transfer market.
We have received quite a nice transfer kit and will probably make 1 or 2 sales as well. I'm not 100% sure of what I'll be looking on the transfer market. Perhaps I'd like a dominant midfielder who can score few goals as well.
