Although I'd consider giving it a start over McGinn.With £25m in, say, 50p pieces, you could at least form some sort of protection in the middle of the park.I wonder what denomination of coins would be most effective.2p I reckon, 1.25bn of them and given they're more than double the size of a penny they'd be the most area covered.Imagine how slow it'd be to change coin midfield shape, though, having to shift 1.25 billion coins.It would be almost as slow as our actual midfield.

I think Arsenal trying to sneak a deal through that close to the wire made Villa dig their heels in. Available all summer, choosing deadline day was stupid. A week earlier he'd have likely gone and we would have loaned in a midfielder.
He needs game time and good performances to get back in the Brazil squad, so hopefully he’ll get his down with minimal fuss and force his way to becoming a regular starter. From the clubs perspective, I would expect them to make him an offer that he can’t refuse with at least a £50m release clause in his contract.

He's been poor since 2020/21. Poor throughout last season and for me probably not deserving of an improved contract.It baffled me to hear "pundits" going firm.in the loin at the prospect of him as a 6, as he's nowhere near mobile or strong enough to do it effectively. On balance I'd have kept him, for the optics, but if they'd have come in for him earlier, I'd have got rid.
