I was told Unai's MO is to bring his own staff to work alongside the existing staff for a few weeks then get rid of the originals. A bit of googling tells me the new doc running on the pitch is Arnaldo Abrantes and he is now the Head of Medical Services at Villa although he might be Portugese not Spanish so my source might have been doing a bit of racial generalisation.

That is why we are not ready for the top 4 yet, we don't have the squad for it. Konsa was an ever-present key member of the squad, Unai would rather play him in the RB position because tactically Konsa is switched on and can play the way Unai needs, we don't have that like-for-like swap yet. Cash and Konsa is like chalk and Cheese.. Going to be a massive loss. I am gutted for him, he has had a magnificent season (would say he was on the brink of an England call up but C*cknose is the Manager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a Villa fan and not thinking as a physio, the fact that Mings and Buendia had their injuries diagnosed by MRI within 1-2 days after the injury suggests this isn't right.

They have to wait for the swelling to go down a bit I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have swollen knees when they go for an MRI. This makes no sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If there's any consolation to the Kamara Ornstein article, it does repeat Emery's quote that Konsa is out for just 3-4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ornstein article also came out at exactly the same time as the club statement on Kamara, so I suspect he was briefed by them directly.

It's going to be Tim. Or Tielemans. Varying levels of worrying for me. Ultimately the defence is going to be under lots more pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately the defence is going to be under lots more pressure. I think it'll be McGinn and Tielemans vying for it, but I think I'd like Tim to be given the first shot - and if he takes it, keep him there. Not the biggest fan of McGinn in CM.

Curious that the clout chaser on Twitter mentioned earlier hasn’t deleted their error about Ezri. I hope they do so soon. That said, I can see why some might assume the worst about Ezri also.
