Often dismissed as a tap in merchant but he’d had musings about an incoming left back for us all week and now he’s broke the story. He was beaten a little with the first mention of Augustinsson.

NoelVilla Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Very smart signing. Likes to go forward as we want to play. Solid backup for Digne. Was one of Bremens best players for a few seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 If he is better than Target, I am happy. That should be the litmus test for any signing - he is better than the guy he is replacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he stayed and played for our U21s at least until January. He has definately had his load managed last season. He has never been available for a run of games . Good prospect but nowhere near physically ready. I think he will stay with us as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne has been superb since joining and fully deserves to be one of the first names on the team sheet. I was taking the piss mate. It’s been said by some of our fans Digne will always play no matter what because of his wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back up LB to cover Digne - where we have a promising youngster and Ashley young. All well and good. But I don't see a back up LB as a deal breaker next season. If you saw Ashley Young playing at right back yesterday you wouldn't say that! Seb Revan at left back looked more composed than poor Ashley on his 37th birthday.

This is like the Bailey signing for JV! Yeah I've wanted us to sign him ever since he played for IFK Göteborg back in 14/15. Back then as a prospect and rotation player. Guess he'd be a rotation player now too so circle closed He's had a lot of little injuries and a few big ones in the last year or two that's disrupted his development and he's not quite lived up to the promise he had as a young player but when fit he's still Sweden #1 LB. 20/21 Muscular problems May 21, 2021 May 24, 2021 3 days 1 20/21 Thigh Muscle Strain Apr 7, 2021 Apr 16, 2021 9 days 2 20/21 Back trouble Feb 17, 2021 Mar 1, 2021 12 days 2 20/21 Muscular problems Jan 15, 2021 Jan 29, 2021 14 days 3 20/21 Thigh Muscle Strain Oct 21, 2020 Nov 16, 2020 26 days 3 19/20 Muscular problems May 15, 2020 May 25, 2020 10 days 2 19/20 Torn Muscle Fibre Dec 21, 2019 Feb 19, 2020 60 days 7 19/20 Knee Surgery Aug 27, 2019 Nov 20, 2019 85 days 10 19/20 Knee Problems Jul 27, 2019 Aug 26, 2019 30 days 3 He's fairly solid but not spectacular. Fairly quick with a good left foot and not afraid to join in attack but not great in the air and not that strong. Great engine thou and pretty intelligent. For a back up he's a good addition, especially on a loan but once again it's not great with another Swedish international is stuck on the bench at Villa. Not that well be going to any tournaments while Janne Andersson is coach for the national side. And I hope Gabriel Gudmundsson is first choice at LB before long for Sweden. But again I would be happy if he joined Villa since I've been droning on about it for 7 years now... Edited July 10, 2022 by sne 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne will be at world cup and picked up some injuries. Not to mention cup games and 5 sub rule now Edited July 10, 2022 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably similar to what he got at Sevilla, although they were playing in Europe so a lot more games for them in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 As far as backups go this is a very solid option for us. I thought he was brilliant at Bremen, not seen him at Sevilla at all so dont know what happened there but on the surface, this seems like more good business to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
