The Villa players reported back for pre-season training today, up to a week later than some of their premier league counterparts.
The squad is without Gareth Barry, Martin Laursen and Stuart Taylor, all departed and James Milner, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Craig Gardner have permission to return at a later date due to their international exploits with the U-21's.
No new signings yet but reports today suggest Leeds youngster Fabian Delph is a target.
The left-sided midfielder impressed at the recent U-21 European tournament and many feel he is ready for the premiership and can successfully make the step-up.

Happy July 1st to our Canadian compatriots and July 4th to our US friends.
No confirmed transfer activity as we strive, I'm sure there is a lot of work behind the scenes, to bring in necessary fresh blood for the new season.
However, with the players reporting back on July 9th there will need to be some quick-fire action if the newcomers are to get a full pre-season session.
We all know that very little (read nothing) happens early on with the Villa but we cannot afford to wait until the last minute again.
Apparently, from many media outlets, the Villa have been given permission to speak to Bayern Munich's German international Tim Borowski after a fee of £5m had been agreed.
The giant 6ft 4in midfielder is also wanted by his former club Werder Bremen. So, should it be true it will not be plain sailing.
The Villa were quick to shoot down rumours yesterday of an approach to Wigan for former Newcastle centre-back Titus Bramble. The alleged fee was £3.5m plus midfielder Barry Bannan.
Go figure that one out and have your say on the Discussion Board.

The new campaign fixtures gave the Villa another starting game at home, this time to Wigan. The Latics will be under new manager Martinez and come calling on Saturday August 15th.
Similar to last season the final fixture will also be at home, this time versus Blackburn Rovers on May 9th.
Planned games of the derby variety have not been too kind with the Villa having to play the first games away to both that lot down the road and Wolves.
At the sty on Sept 12, which is bound to be moved to the Sunday, and Molineux on Oct 24th, again, subject to changes by the local constabulary.
The home games are scheduled April 24 (25?) and March 20, respectively.
With a bit of luck we might be able to put a nail in the relegation coffin of the sty dwellers at the end of another road with the elite.

Other than Barry leaving the club there has been no transfer activity and even the rumours appear to be nothing more than wild speculation.
For a round-up of the latest conjecture, hypothesis and day dreams, see the Discussion Board.
