He can play as a 6 or 8,as can Kamara. It's definitely a position we need and he brings height. I've got a feeling once we see him play we will be pleasantly surprised, like we were with Chambers. It's an upgrade on Nakamba if nothing else. Edited September 1, 2022 by Made In Aston 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If utilised correctly, which I have absolutely no faith in whatsoever under the current manager, along with Kamara we have a bit of solidity in our spine for the first time in god knows how long. We have to stop the opposition from waltzing through our midfield like a midnight piss in the snow, he would be straight into the team if it was my choice. Good point... They said before the season that the refs would be letting the play flow more and calling fewer fouls. You can see that the league is more physical this year. I'm guessing that we'll see him in physical games (e.g. Bournemouth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 6 or CB if we are playing him as an 8 we’re in trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Looks good in the kit, if that means anything. Seems to suit him. Strangely have a good feeling about this signing now. Can also cover at CB which is a great bonus.

BennettVilla Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Strange thing is, he’s a regular starter for supposedly the second best international side in the world. I don’t think this is as bad as some are making out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Welcome Leander. Don’t bother to read this thread. Some people are a bit jaded because they want to sack the manager and it is clouding their judgement on transfer issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 When we won away couple seasons back, super handful against us (minus us winning). Good to read about his height. Much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not being too excited. As I said the other day, the only thing that the Wolves fans I know could actually agree about was that they all think this lad is hopeless. Still, he's ours now so hopefully they all turn out to be equally mistaken. I'm not convinced it's what we needed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) A mixed bag. Overall we have properly better squad depth and perhaps a better functioning midfield providing the current (or next) Villa manager uses the correct players. But we have clearly not got the next level of player to be seriously competing for the top half. At the moment that seems a long way off and the 2 signings today will hopefully add some defensive strength at least to try and get the season going. Thanks to Mr Gerrard we are massively short on width options which could be a big problem this year if sanity prevails and we start to try and play a more normal formation. Edit- wrong thread, sorry.
