So do i, he was too good for a few seasons - def a few red flags when players down tools like he did last season, i think its put of some of the elite teams that were linked with him this time last yr
Does Tielemans walk into that midfield unless they sell Luiz?
They've got 5 good central midfielders now (Luiz, Kamara, McGinn, Ramsey). They'll be aiming to win the Conference League and go deep in the cups next season though, so they'll need a squad to play 65 matches without dropping down the league like West Ham did.
They’re signing Oxlade-Chamberlain anarl. Tielemans attitude was **** this season can’t see him being happy warming the bench.
I don't think he will be warming the bench. I think he'll start 30 games and be sub in 20. He'll be fine with that. The lad is 26 and there's been no indication of a bad attitude with the exception of last season. More to do with a toxic atmosphere at the club in general in my opinion.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is a free and will be competing for a different position in my opinion. He'll be going up against Buendia and Bailey I'd think and will be a back up far more often.
Aye, I’d expect Ox to be backup. Villa’s midfield depth will be pretty crazy for a team that’s not one of the “big 6”.
They need another striker mind. I’d be tempted to trigger Dybalas release clause I’m sure it’s only about £13m this season. Great 9 but also versatile across the front line.
When fit, Dybala is exceptional. I agree that they need another, and versatility is probably the right approach because Watkins is rightly first choice and they only play with 1.
Take Kane out of the Spurs squad and Villa are possibly as strong. They've got a very good manager and every chance of pushing for the Champions League positions next year, if Europe doesn't test their squad too much.
Pep even prefers to play Stones in the holding midfielder role now infront of Phillips alongside Rodri. Says it all.
He was a strange signing for them really and he let his head over rule his heart. He should never have made such a big step up so soon
Abrahams has a bad injury i think so he wont leave in the summerVilla linked with Pau Torres and Tammy Abraham as well.
They shaping up to be very good.
Abrahams has a bad injury i think so he wont leave in the summer
Agreed, always liked him - pretty sure he did ACL last game of the seasonReading Roma have to sell him for FFP, not sure that works with a serious injury like ha.
Lad deserves a proper crack at PL.
Agreed. Chelsea were wrong to get rid so quick imoAbraham is class just needs to find the right team.

Quality player, signed for big money who has just lost his way? I know just the team for him.They probably were but I'm not sure they were right for him. He wants to go somewhere where he'll be first choice and will be a fan favourite. Half the teams in the prem fit the bill.
