PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I presume we all want to improve? So, if we sell Dendoncker and replace him with better--what's the issue? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he’s average. But I guess if the alternative is nobody he will probably stay.

I’d be starting him ahead of Luiz who is vastly overrated on here. Just to be clear, you're stating in public that you'd start recently relegated, struggling to get a move from Championship James Ward Prowse over our current SPoS and PPoS, recent Arsenal and Spurs target and Brazilian international Douglas Luiz? 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only reservations with Dendoncker are that we have to play a bit different when he's in the team as he's not as comfortable in tight spaces and can't dribble his way out of trouble like Kamara and Luiz. So if we could replace him with someone more like those then that might be better. I'm also fine with him staying though if we can't replace.

CarryOnVilla Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) we need to recycle our financial assets at some point. As good as Donk is as backup, he’s not going to get better. let’s flip him for someone with potential. keeps FFP demons at bay and gives us a chance to improve the squad long term.

My guess it that Emery wants someone who's a bit more mobile and press resistant. Also agree that it's not a priority to replace the Donk thou. He's OK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll go to West Ham or perhaps Fulham. No space and no need for him with our current squad. True he has had his chance to be come one of the chosen few. Its uncomfortable to remember that not so long ago choosing Southampton, Watford (Cleverly) or West Brom (Johnston) above Villa was considered a sensible career move. I hope we never go back to that dark place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 5th choice CM / 3rd choice DCM needs to be better than Belgiums starting CM? Not going to happen is it?

He's played well and carried out his job well. I remember Kamara making a similar mistake and costing us a game, yet nobody is calling him shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
