I think Villa have hit a bit of a ceiling. You see it with a few clubs that threaten to gatecrash the champions league party. Bear with me on this as it'll sound a bit weird, but basically their problem is that they've got no glaring weaknesses in the team. For a team that wants to improve, having some glaring weaknesses in the side is actually a good thing, because they represent obvious and easy ways to strengthen.
Villa's problem is that from 1-11 they're just not quite good enough to challenge at the very top. OK they may have a few players who are, but it really is only a few. So if they want to take that final step up, it won't just be a case of adding a couple of players to address obvious weak spots and complete the puzzle. They'll need to replace most of that team.
