skarroki Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Realistically people were saying we needed to lose one of our attacking options from midfield in this window and I don't think many had Buendia in their ideal starting XI, yes it's a team game now but he was an expensive player who never lived up to the hype until a few glimmers in this pre-season. I still think there was a good player in their but I think he was a bench option that could easily have gone the way of Coutinho. It weakens us slightly but we've got time to readjust to this during the window. Overall I'm not bothered by this from a cold, supporting Villa perspective but obviously feel for the lad himself as he must be devastated, and also feel for whoever caused the injury in training as they must be reeling right now.

Delphinho123 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Ok. This isn't what anybody wanted. Losing a player, regardless of how one judges his ability, isn't helpful for anyone. BUT. I was firmly of the opinion last season that he would very much be a bench option this season IF our transfer window went well. I believe we're still in for at least one other attacking option / wide player. With the emergence of Philogene, maybe this won't be the blow everybody thinks it is. We have Diaby, Bailey, Ramsey, McGinn and Philogene who can play wide and we're likely to add another two players to that crop. It's not the end of the world. It would be much more disastrous if this happened to Watkins, Martinez, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Torres, Mings or Konsa. IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad, especially with the number of games we'll be playing this season, although there are over half a dozen other players that are more important to this team than Buendia is.

I guess we have to try and think positively and not get too downbeat… it is sad though… But at least it hasn’t happened during the season and when we can’t sign players… we have time to bring in a replacement, possibly even an upgrade. I really like Emi though and anticipated a much stronger season from him… man… I’m really saddened by this… Edited August 10, 2023 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO The fact that Ramsey is out makes it much worse , Buendia would have started the game vs Newcastle, we won’t be shoehorning a midfield of Tielemans, Luiz, Kamara.

TheMelvillan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 think the use of the word "significant" is quite deliberate here . really doesnt sound good.
