In a league where AEG would look class. And not only that, also in a good team in that league. Clutching at straws here methinks. Edit. Caught my own error here. AEG already tried that and didn't. All though in a worse team, but still. Ignore me. Edited September 18, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Season before last when he seemed to be a regular playing in his favourite position he was rated as the 10th best player in the league on whoscored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember a player we once signed, goes by the name of John Carew, signed him in 2007 from Lyon. Didn't work out too bad in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious a good record in a poor league means its relevance falls off. There's obviously good players to be found in France, but I would use statistics from that league, especially for players in the better sides, very carefully. Much like SPL and Celtic.

I'd sooner focus on the statistics that he creates in a Villa shirt, they will be all that matter now. Besides, he has played amongst Marvellous and Rashica before too, so it's not all just about stats, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Tbh, I would be surprised if there wasn't a fast track permit option for these type of things. Does it have to be 72 hours before the match a new signing is registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 We go in quite a bit of detail on Traore in the Podcast and the type of player he is and why it hasnt worked for him at Lyon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident that I could name it right now. The only question mark is why Cash didn't play against Burton, but if he's fit it'll be Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Hourihane, Trezeguet, Grealish, Watkins. If Traore signs in time there's a chance he could make the bench, but at this point no one else that joins would go in that starting team, the match prep will have already been done. The Cash one was strange, but then you could also say McGinns ommission was equally as strange because you'd imagine he needs minutes. We are probably reading too much into it. He went with the team he felt would win the game and they did. I agree with your selection. Elmo could start. Cash on Thursday or vice versa. Probably all 3 right backs will be used in some capacity between Monday and Thursday. Edited September 18, 2020 by Johnnyp . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Deano just put a few in the shop window against Burton, apart from Ollie and Martinez I think we will be lining up same as the end of last season and ease in the newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see I should have deleted the post, cause expecting people to read and understand two lines of text before they respond eager to score points was obviously too much.
