Sure he will get minutes as the season goes on, and without any pressure of a relegation fight etc, excellent stuff, hopefully next season he will be ready to roll.

Let the player settle, get to grips with everything from tactics, language, culture and housing, before you apply performance pressure. There's a reason why a bunch of our signings from Suso looked better during the second season. We'll see Sanson more next season. It's a long term play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m like a broken record with this but Leicester do it so well. Glad we are now in a position to do so as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we’ll have some European football to offer new recruits so we can set our sights even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'd rather we bed him in by bringing him off the bench in games we're cruising in, not by forcing him into high pressure situations like today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Traore didn’t start alot of games at the beginning just be patient his time will come 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 When we signed Traore he was on the bench for the first 3/4 games, only making sub appearences at first. If I recall properly, the new boys last season (Luiz et al) also started the first few games on the bench. Maybe that's how Smith goes about things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s took a year for the team to get to understand how we play , the culture and identity of how we play is showing now, expecting a player to instantly slot while we have capable players in that position is crazy , much rather he gets introduced gradually rather than getting something wrong on the pitch and fans writing him off before he gets going it’s the last thing someone needs at villa of all places I mean Ollie goes 4 matches without a goal and few where saying he wasn’t good enough, why throw him at the deep end without the need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Southampton, West Ham and Arsenal are pretty tough sides in a tough league to make your debut against. Particularly the way each of those games was going when we started looking to make subs. I can see why Deano has held off playing him too much. Personally I think a proper Midfield 3 today (I.e. bringing Morgan on for Barkley instead of Ramsey) would've helped us out more in the final 20 minutes. But again, Arsenal are a good side and making a mistake to cost us 3 points Vs Arsenal would've been a horrid way to get off to his Villa career. We rested Dougie today, I think he'll rest somebody for part of the Brighton game and we'll see Morgan on the pitch and With more time than against West Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) might assume this meant we had 11m flex in our budget before it impacted FFP?, so 11m now.....4m out of our summer budget? Edited February 9, 2021 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s more to do with Marseille who need cash. Generally you don’t pay so much upfront. While a fee is agreed upfront, cash is paid in instalments in similar portions. Given we have paid a larger cash portion upfront with no change overall fee (exc bonuses) it seems we gave more cash to them now as they need it now, maybe we got a slightly reduced overall fee (exc bonuses) in return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
