Squad depth and get deals done early - fans on changes needed for next season

We asked for your views on what one thing needs to change at Aston Villa before the new campaign and why.

Here are some of your comments:

Matt: The Villa squad needs depth. Our best XI is a match for any team in the league, as was shown on our great run earlier in the season, but a few injuries left us slow, passive and leaky. Good backups across the pitch would help take us to the next level and is especially important if we're to compete in the Champions League and the Premier League at the same time. That, and a right winger, and we're golden.

Andy: Paradigm shift in my thinking since we won a trophy - keep as many as we can and add strength in depth. New creativity on both wings and a right-back is enough.

Chay: The quality of players on the bench. We had a midfield crisis with Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn and Youri Tielemans injured and had to rely on just Douglas Luiz, Lamare Bogarde and Amadou Onana. Their quality in midfield wasn't great and just shows, especially when Unai Emery played Victor Lindelof, as a defender who was outstanding in midfield, over all three of them. We need to get rid of these benchwarmers and have players who can disrupt Emery's strong XI.

Dennice: We should get all our main transfers done by August so the players can gel in well in time and adapt to Emery-ball. We need reinforcements in every department; goalkeeping, defence, midfield and attack. All of which should be done before we play PSG in the Super Cup.

Stephen: We need a striker who can bag 20-25 goals in the league. This would help with trying to maintain ourselves in the top five. I would suggest that we try to get Igor Thiago from Brentford as previous recruitment from there has been good.
