‘Aston Villa could be preparing for life without Grealish by pursuing Dack’

I know reading clickbait is not good for your health but what sort of person makes up an article out of something like this? I suppose fiction is an acceptable literary genre, but really?!? It feels like a criminal offence!

Yeah it is annoying.

I do like the idea of signing Dack though, he is a good player and we saw what life without Grealish was like when he was injured. If he picks up a knock this season and we have Jota and Dack around we might not suffer quite so much.

The only time I've seen Dack is on a stream at the home game Vs Blackburn, which means I'm eminently qualified to say that he struck me as a bit of a fatty. A fatty with a trick, granted, but a fatty nonetheless.

Seen Blackburn a couple of times last season (Live in Lancs), is a lively player with good skill and works hard.

Me too. He got taken off aswell.

Something of the David Dunn about him that I don't like.

Players like Dack are championship at very best, and if anyone wants a gamble on them at Prem level it’ll be Sheff Utd, nailed on. We should be aiming much higher.

Agree.

His body shape is like mine - early 40s and he's just realised he has to exercise to lose weight.

Agree, in the second division maybe , but in the first , no. We can and will do better.

I'm glad of the support Malandro, but I'm also early-40s and this exercise stuff seems like snake oil to me. Drink through it man!

[eamonn]

Any news on t'Blades wanting to take-up their option to sign Hogan permanently?

You can do both! As another early-forties man I have started being virtuous by playing football once a week and then rewarding myself with four pints immediately afterwards. Simultaneously I have never felt worse or better.

Broadly Dack.

[cheltenhamlion]

Dack is a fat bastard. We can do better than that.

If we signed Kongolo and Mings we would have 3 left sided defenders all comfortable at centre half and left back. I would imagine that Hause will be seen primarily as competition to Taylor next season because we can't get/ afford a new specialised left back. I also think we may see 3 at the back a few times next season. Plus, Mings and Hause are both left footed and formed a pretty reliable pairing for a decent chunk of our good run before Hause got injured, so it may not be a disaster to only have Chester that is right footed.

Tip the balance 70/30 in terms of the latter.  No guarantees at all. But worth testing the theory.
