I had Buendia RW, Grealish LW, especially with us chasing a No10. The Bailey signing, chuffed as I am we’re getting him, makes me scratch my head a bit. "if" Grealish stays, i think: Grealish - Buendia - Bailey. The good thing is tho, they can rotate in game, Grealish can go central, Buendia right, Bailey left, switch back, gonna be very fluid. The reason i would choose Buendia centrally, is he works his a** off, so he can be a creative spark but also help out the other midfield 2 with tracking, pressing and harrying etc, but tbh, i would be happy with him right side also, lol. tbh, i can see any of the following within games (ie: fluidity and rotation): Grealish - Buendia - Bailey Bailey - Grealish - Buendia Bailey - Buendia - Grealish the fluidity is gonna be sexy as hell.

For Jamaica's WC qualifying games, its 3 games between 2nd and 8th Sept, 3 games between 10th and 13th Oct, 2 games between the 27th and 30th Jan, 2 games between 12th and 16th Nov, 1 game in Feb, 3 games between 24th and 30th march. thats 14 Games for Jamaica during the 21/22 season, where he may not be playing for Villa......i dread to think how many Villa games he will miss. Bugger. That is a good point. good job we have Bertie too - who I really rate. Love the unpredictability we have up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I was thinking but the ESR bid would have had us Grealish - ESR - Buendia Is Buendia’s switch inside and the Bailey purchase due to us missing out on ESR? Personally I think Buendia is a better No10 than ESR anyway so can understand us moving him inside if Bailey came available and ESR was a no go.

I had Buendia RW, Grealish LW, especially with us chasing a No10. The Bailey signing, chuffed as I am we’re getting him, makes me scratch my head a bit. Buendia LW, Grealish CAM, Bailey RW. Buendia likes to drift inside and centrally (lots of excellent highlights from the left for Norwich) and Smith likes players to be able to cut in and shoot, and Watkins likes to drift left. So we need someone to stretch the defence out right. Grealish should play in the middle because we play much better as a team like that. Personally I think the order is more of a formality as we will rotate throughout the game but Jack has to be central for me to put his mark on the game.

Delphinho123 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 @Kiwivillanhow you feeling about this? We’ve now spent 78m on two players that primarily play on the right side of a front 3. How your boy Traore fitting in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore had surgery recently so he's probably not ready for season start. Buendia will play free role 10 based on Walsall game I think and Bailey played more than double games for Bayer on left than right so good can play across 3 positions. If Grealish were to leave I'd rather Bailey on the left than AEG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 This is a player on the radar of clubs like United, City, Liverpool etc. With our coaching he could be world class. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I presume our first Jamaican international to play for the Villa? Useless I have had a total memory failure. I think Grabban had Jamaican heritage but hasn't played for them. Yorke was Trinidad and Tobago. And JPA from Colombia which is stretching it a bit.

Shame it’s been overshadowed by the Grealish saga Not for me. I am loving this window! As for where he plays, it seems he fits in perfectly. Part of a front line that can rotate on either flank (he is very two footed). He will rotate wings while jack and beundia rotate in the center. I also suspect we will be adding a real 4-3-3 this season with only one sitter and two attacking insteda of our usual two sitters 4231. In that case jack and beundia will play more centrally and Bailey is joined by another attacker like El Ghazi, / Bertie in the 433. Anyways its going to be a LOT of fun finding out!

MaVilla Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thought this was interesting, all bailey's touches etc versus Stuttgart in during a game in Feb 2021, i think he's going to fit right in with Grealish & Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
