Nobody else will as we are no longer in the League cup ;)

You don't think anyone will line up in all three of the Cov, Leeds and Stoke games?

Or the Plymouth, Ipswich and Milwall games?

Or Soton, Birmingham, PNE games?

Etc.

Was just using Traore (and Ingram) as examples of players who have already done it.

Are we counting in eight day week periods now? Playing Sat Tue Fri would be 3 games in 7 days, but how often will we face that combo this season?

I already clarified above that the 8 v 7 days is being pedantic for the sake of it. The discussion was around having a squad to manage mid-week games so that players are not playing in all three. From a footballing perspective playing Sat Tue Sat or Sat Wed Sun is in the eyes of most a 'week'.

I thought LR made his thoughts crystal clear on Sinik last season. Regardless of the narrative peddled in the media by Acun, I couldn't ever see him fitting in.

My slight worry for the season is that we've got a lot of high earners not playing/unlikely to play regularly for us. There's Allahyar, Sinik, Oscar and Christie all warming the bench at best and I think Seri will find himself among those too.
Christie will get plenty of game time , seri is one of the first names on the team sheet no chance he struggles for minutes
 
From Baz’s new summary:

Philogene
Another player from Villa
Rak-sakyi loan
Another high rated winger on long term contract
Goalkeeper
Defensive cover

seems excessive, but I’m not complaining

when pressed at the weekend, LR said two to three incomings before the end of the window. The above does seem excessive. Surely we dont need Philogene plus two additional wingers?
 
We couldn’t be after Keinan Davis an all could we? Not that we need him.

I’ve not seen one Villa fan happy there selling Philogene.

Unless it's a permanent or a loan with a fee already agreed to sign him permanently at our discretion, I wouldn't be looking to sign another striker on loan.

He would replace Tetteh's height and adds a lot of physicality, however I suspect the only way this would happen, would be if Oscar leaves.

Agreed, Delap is probably as good in that role anyway.
 
Ryan Longman has had a better season in the championship than this Philogene. Can’t remember anyone talking about him last season as being one of the stars of the division or with any sort of excitement.

Wasn’t picked out as a particular danger man when he played 90 minutes against us last season. Can’t even remember him playing.
