With Tielemans coming in is it worth occasionally using McGinn in his Scottish position, ie an alternative to Buendia?  I guess, swapping round during games might be the masterstroke - him and Ramsey taking it in turns to push forward.

I am sure Unai has a very clear plan on how to play and who to play. He will not just hoover up players for the sake of it.

We need to get used to our best players missing games due to rotation. Even the captain. McGinn’s energy needs to stay his high levels for the whole season so we will need to rest him from time to time

He was so bad under Gerrard, I thought he’d be sold. Hes super again now. it’s amazing how much impact “your boss” can have on performance and morale.

Great news !

Fingers crossed there's no release clause that can be met by one of the money-bags clubs once he's led us to a trophy and into the Champions League this season!

Fair play, great comeback from John, and brilliant management by Unai as well.

Brilliant news, SJM is a Villa legend. Always thought he would thrive in the right position.
