QldVilla Posted January 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2021 2 hours ago, lexicon said: What facts? You called for a Jedinak-type player - Jedinak was poor on the ball and couldn't pass - if you meant a player who could pass, maybe choosing a player that could actually pass the ball would have been a solid idea instead of doubling down. No, you assumed and assumed wrongly, I was talking about passing and if he couldn’t of passed he never would have been a PL player or captain of his country. But than again, I don’t think you assumed anything, just made something up to suit your narrative. My comment was in reference to his leadership, and physicality, as that what was needed to be added to Luiz games. Everybody else got the reference, except you. You know this, but you’d rather be a smart arse than have a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument is that a prime Jedinak would make the team worse, as Luiz brings a lot more to the table. If you misspoke because you meant something else, why not just correct yourself rather than insisting that the fault lies solely with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 We need more players on his level in my opinion. Ability wise he is the closest to Jack that we have. We are slowly getting there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t even check what was said, because you’ve made up your own narrative. This is what I said in reference to Jedinak: “The one thing I believe he lacks at the moment is the physicality against certain teams”. “A Jedinak in his prime would of put some of those Burnley players on their backsides”. I was referring to Jedinak’s physicality!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 28/01/2021 at 19:23, TRO said: He did have the ability in the air to help the defence.....not sure dribbling is a pre requisite of a CDM, decent ball control yes.....their main attributes are reading the game, awareness and ability to dispossess, bit of pace and a timely pass out. I agree with both of these parts of your posts. Having a solid unit in our team like Jedinak would have helped made life alot more difficult for Burnley in that game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If we manage to bring in a quality DM. A big, strong nasty b******, I wouldn’t mind seeing Luiz play alongside him in a slightly advanced position. Luiz currently plays as a DM for us, but I think he can offer a bit more to the team if the shackles were released. I think he’s a very good player. To think he’s what, 22? 23? is crazy really. He’ll never be as good as Grealish, but his ceiling is massive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Perhaps Jedinak would have been ok v Burnley. He certainly wouldn't have assisted Jack. I'm certain Doug is of more use in the other 36 games this season. He's 22. He will get better. He'll be finishing his career with at least 50 Brazil caps and 400 top-flight appearances. All as a holding or deep midfielder. Looking forward to as many of those as possible being with Aston Villa. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analogy I used to reference Mille was never him as a player, but his physical presence, leadership and ability to realise a threat in the game (game management). If Luiz could develop these traits we would have one hell of a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying on BT other day his buyback ends in summer, personally I think he will remain with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
