zab6359 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Not sure what sickens me the most, an amazing talent having a potentially career changing injury or that there are a couple of posters on here probably smirking right now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Absolutely gutted. He will be a huge loss and this has absolutely dented the pre season optimism. We need our whole squad firing on all cylinders and three potential starters will be out for a number of games - Ramsey, Moreno and Buendia. The Villa way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm totally gutted. Tragic news for the player and the club. Just hope he makes a full recovery and can play some part later in the season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough times Tbf, it's also going to be a difficult few weeks for you KV, what with Monchi confirming we are still going to be active in the transfer market. We are going to need reminding regularly that 99% of the players we're linked with won't be signing. You know we can't be allowed to forget that.

I was upbeat about season with current squad until now. Like I said in other thread we can't have +200k per week in non squad players wages and sign more without offloading players.

Ceemo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Courtois has done his ACL as well today. Horrible injury. I always think that players never quite come back right and lose that spark which is understandable as it a major injury. Buendia is a huge loss to the squad and before this I don't think he ever missed a game for Villa through injury and so he was a dependable player to have whether he started or not. Was great in pre-season as well. It's a huge blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2023 Moreno, missing the start of the season, Ramsey likewise and now Buendia quite possibly missing the majority of the season. Not ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season he came back he didn't look great, but the season after that one was when he fulfilled all his promise, looked quick and dynamic and pretty great. It might just be a protracted process but there's no reason he can't come back just as good. But yeah it'll take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I've had time to think about it Tielemans can't do press like Buendia but Luiz could so Tielemans and Kamara double pivot like you said about Tielemans and Luiz plays further forward as more mobile on the press 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being a pragmatist Please don't apologise or feel downbeat, be strong, like our superb manager and his backroom staff will be! We will thrive whatever is thrown at us.

Biomechanically, they almost always play differently because of the nature of the injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd something more to say... I expect he might go "home, home again - he likes to be there when he can" Seriously though this is such a shame. We always seem to get such bad luck with injuries. Get better soon Little Emi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
