Do we really need Mendy? Even if he's good, I can't really see him getting into the team if Snoddy and Gradel were injured. The club should just recommend him to another club that needs him.
Well we've still not replaced Watt from last season and he can play up front aswell. It means we can rotate for Tuesday night games etc. more often than we did last season, as Gradel, Howson and Snodgrass could be easily swapped for Sam, Nunez and Mendy.
I posted a thread on villa's board about Lichaj, not only have they not replied, but there has only been three new threads all day. They must be slllllow readers...
With Somma out if Grayson wishes to play 4-4-2 you would have to assume McCormack and Bechio up front... If he needs to freshen it up a bit then I would assume he will push Gradel to the front and it would be nice to have a wide player sitting on the bench.
