Aston Villa have certainly spent big this summer, bringing in over a reported £120 million worth of players.
Big name signings such as Tyrone Mings and Wesley have brought in a lot of new talent to the Villa ranks.
However, one fan has taken to Twitter, to air his views that Villa’s squad is now worth over £380 million.

Read Aston Villa’s verdict
It’s fair to say that these valuations are a bit far off!
You’d struggle to find someone willing splash £50 million-plus on Jack Grealish currently, and with Tyrone Mings only going for £25 million this summer, it would again be hard to see him worth any more.
McGinn has been touted with moves away from big money, but the £50 million price tag was put on him by Villa, not elsewhere.
How much players are worth to Villa is a lot different to their actual worth.
