Championship has progressed so much just before we got relegated that the top players that sign for better teams in PL are actually undervalued. Fantasy sport maxim is that if you sign players that increase in value that's great but meaningless if you never intend to sell them The potential profit would be meaningless if we never intend to sell, but perceived market value is a good indicator of how much a player has improved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Is no. 20 his official squad number or just a pre-season thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he play as a 10? Or maybe even one of the 8's in a 4-3-3? Played on the right for Norwich i believe. Would be foolish to move him away from a position where he is absolutely brilliant.

He was never quite as good playing centrally, said it stifled him a bit. Better coming in off the left and drifting into space. Seems he's also really good defensively and covers the fullback really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people want to see him more centrally but he never really been as effective there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't rate Young there at all. I think something about Grealish is lost in the centre too. He obviously likes to drift centrally, but he should play on the left.

Hiney Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 My friend who is a Norwich City season ticket holder is absolutely gutted he is gone. She said he's the best player she has ever seen play for them and makes a bold claim he is better than Jack! I'm not sure on that but I'm very excited to see him and Jack on the same pitch as each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is clearly an elite ball carrier with excellent technical ability and good passing ability, where as Buneida has excellent technical ability also and is a good ball carrier, but his "elite" skill seems to be the ability to thread through balls through the eye of a needle. tbh, i dont really care, the fact we have both Grealish & Buendia in the same team is just....magical!, can you imagine this just 2 years ago???, what a time to be a Villa fan tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I watched the Walsall friendly on VillaTv, I thought that Buendia was outstanding, the weight of his through balls are a joy to watch. He’s such a natural footballer but what impressed me most about him was his willingness to track back and help Cash out, Traore wasn’t quite so good at this last season. When we bought Buendia, I thought we had overpaid but after watching that Walsall friendly, he has proven me wrong already. Let’s hope he can keep his pre-season up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
