Villa’s form has been really inconsistent of late, and Jones believes that is something Gerrard will not tolerate as he looks to raise the bar at the Midlands club.

“When we have another option to strengthen the team and squad we will take that opportunity. We will move the team forward,” he recently told the Daily Mail and other outlets. “My standards will always remain high and the players have seen that.”

Gerrard has already shown his ruthlessness in his short time at Villa Park, replacing Matt Targett with Lucas Digne as soon as he had the chance, so it would not be a surprise if more changes came before the start of next season.
