MotoMkali Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 6 minutes ago, skarroki said: 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. I was thinking we needed an extra one. To me this means we need to make another signing for a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kiwivillan Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 Some people wanted to down play his contribution to our rise under Emery and even move him on but I'm immediately less confident about our season re challenging for CL placings 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Gutted for him, I hope Phil can try and stay fit for a while. A bit more urgent to get a player in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nonsense. He's consistently played well for us. He's not a superstar, but he's a battler with quality—he's been mostly effective for us and has had plenty of moments in a Villa shirt he can be proud of. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s terrible But it could be worse… at least we can sign players and Unai will improve the guys we have that can come in for Emi… A few need to step up… Signings on the way too… much worse if this happened mid season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It's so typical ffs, it's like a lottery as to which player picks up a serious injury each season. All the best to him, was going well in pre-season and it's an awful injury at the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’s very good and an important player for us. Most of all, Unai is a fan… Imagine if we got Emi vs Newcastle (US friendly) in most games this season… I had big expectations for him… But… we have to manage this situation and replace him effectively for now… Can’t be too upset (as sad as it is), we’re in a place where we can do something about this and make sure we’re not weaker, we can be stronger if we make the right signings… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the severity of the injury but typically 6 months - 1 year. But with the way Buendia plays, I’m not sure he’ll ever be the same player. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans is a better 8 than 6. Can easily play in front of Luiz and Kamara with McGinn behind Watkins and Diaby in a 4222. I posted about this line up several days ago would work well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 He's looked great in pre season. He's young, keen, he'll come back strong. Still, Fucksocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually better this way… at least we can still sign players. Disastrous if it happened during the season and we couldn’t bring anyone in. Players like Phil and Leon need to step up now too… Hopefully JJ is not too far away either… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all start showing glimpses of their quality as well which is the annoying part. So unfair Did we also have Matty Cash and Kamara out for months at some recent point? Or was that just general smaller injuries and not 1 big one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 8 minutes ago, gwi1890 said: Why would it? Because he plays a similar position to Buendia. And if we can't / don't get in a replacement for Buendia, we might decide to keep Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looking at the bright side at least we have time to sign a replacement. Would be much worse if it happened after a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 24 minutes ago, Mantis said: Based on what exactly? Some time around February/March is probably more likely. that would be a best case scenario. Obviously it depends on the severity of the injury. But if a player is 'good to play' in March, how likely is it that they will be playing full speed PL/European football at top level? It's entirely possible he might not come back the same player. An example is Moder from Brighton - injured last September with ACL, still not back in full playing conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 7 minutes ago, Delphinho123 said: 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 Yes this is my clutching at straws thinking too. Its a massive blow of course but Emi is a player we can probably cope without due to the other options we have in midfield. We have Kellyman too who is looking a prospect and perhaps will now have a bigger part to play? The loss of any of the other players you mention would have been a proper disaster!
