MWARLEY2 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Looking at Wolves goodbye statement on their OS it seems they held him in very high regard. Not a player with huge quality but a selfless one who does the dirty things in a team to allow others to shine.And also one who they could rely on. A fighter and a player who stays fit . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 For the first time in ages, I honestly couldn't give a crap about a Villa signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Seems like a desperate signing to me. Super underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublinvilla2014 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Could be a good signing we need someone in there that will put there foot in and let teams know there in for a battle too many nice players in there at the moment I'd put him beside kamara in a 4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm quite happy with this, given that he is in the same shape and form as previous years. I think he is a great player and exactly what we need, good defensively, hight and muscles in the middle of the pitch. Would be perfect with him and Kamara and the two midfielders in a 4-2-3-1. Two destroyers who guards our defence and who also can pass quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm happy with him... Very underrated player, IMO. He was fantastic under Nuno, but he hasn't found the same level since then, but he is a quality player. Likening this to the Chambers signing is a good shout.

DCJonah Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Is he better than what we've got. I'm underwhelmed but hopefully he helps make us better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Always upped his game against us. Team cohesion is what's needed, it doesn't necessarily mean we need 11 superstars, just players that do their job so others can do theirs. Hopefully a decent signing who adds stability in the midfield with kamara to allow the forwards to forward. New manager next please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Probably not a good sign that when you type "fbref" followed by his name into google that it doesn't auto complete until you've typed "leander dendo" into it... but hey, ho. I know literally nothing about him. Fbref seems to say he's average...: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I like the fact that transfermarkt values him at 28M Euro and we reportedly have paid 13M £. transfermarkt are normally quite conservative with the valuation, cant remember the last time we paid significantly under their value.

abdulaziz1 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Looks like Chambers signing. We need physical presence anyway, I think him with Kamara and Luiz in games were we expect to defend would be perfect. Not the best signings but could’ve been much worse.
