Is it just me or does he seem to do everything we’ve been trying to get Mings to stop doing the last few seasons?

No doubt about it he’s very good at what he does and controls the ball well, an outstanding ball playing defender.

From these highlights, he looks incredibly one footed to me. Even when dribbling, he prefers to nudge it with his left when it looks 10x easier to use his right.

On that basis, I cant see him being moved out of the LCB position. So he'd either be in direct competition with Mings, or Mings is gonna need to adapt to a RCB role. In Unai we trust. 

Tbh since the moment he signed I've had the tune of 2 Unlimited's "No Limit" (also known as the Kolo/Yaya Toure chant....) in my head. 

Unai.

Unai Unai.

Unai Unai. 

Unai.

Unai Emery!

...and repeat ad nauseam.

If we're not willing to sign a new CB on a permanent basis, I think a loan for Trevoh Chalobah could be a good option. Reports are that Chelsea are open to this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/17/manchester-united-weigh-up-loan-move-for-chelsea-christian-pulisic 

Have been impressed when I've watched him. He has very good passing stats and also has experience playing as a DM, should we need him to... https://www.premierleague.com/news/2663888

Hello,

I'm a longtime Villa fan who recently moved back to the UK after 10 years following from the other side of the world. Currently in London and keen to connect with other Villains and/or make fish puns. 

Cheers

Steve
