Looked a lot bigger and bulkier. Hoping he'll be more of a part this year

Yeah I thought this too but then I thought am I deluded myself. Fingers burned one too many times by pre-seasons gone by.

The whole team looked huge against Crewe last season, my Crewe supporting work colleague also commented on that.

With Traore incoming and Rashica due, do we need 3 backup wingers of Trez, El Ghazi & Jota?

 

No. I'd certainly get rid of AEG, probably Jota too (although I like him more than most VTers do). Keep Trez.

I think with Grealish and Watkins versatility, we could transfer one of the 3, if it meant a CM joining. AEG looks shot, think he needs a fresh start, maybe in France or Holland.

Jota is a tidy player just don't see him as a winger or fitting into our system. Do rate him and good bench option. Still love that pass for Wesley goal against Everton

Put the winger stuff aside for a second - if Jack moves into a central role, is that a role we could see Jota being a back up for? Playing in behind the striker. I know he wouldn't put himself about like Jack does, but he could play in the hole rather than outside surely

I've thought he should be a CAM  since just about his first game for us. He has good control and can pick a pass, should we ever give a more rigid 4-5-1 a runout , I'd give him consideration depending on Jack's position (and whoever else we may sign!).

If it isn't Grealish or Jota, I can't see us really utilising a "CAM" role - as you say, good control and passing range, not really anybody else I can imagine us using there unless I'm forgetting somebody.

I would keep him. He cost peanuts, will be on a low salary and is deserves a chance. Definitely move AEG on though.

He signed as a premier league player, I would imagine he is on 25k plus pw and depending on bonuses that may have gone up when we stayed up.

According to Sportrac, you are correct. I am surprised (by the amount, not by you being right)....

AEG to go

Jota has a bit of class about him... might look better in a stronger Villa team

AEG just seems to have lost it.
