I’d take Kubo and Hickey based on recent games of Champ Manager alone.

It’s all I have these days.

Think we needed an experienced head alongside Mings (who let’s not forget hasn’t had much top flight experience himself) and still believe that.

Konsa has the raw ingredients, but raw is the key word there. Happy to see how he comes on over the next few years. Hause seems a solid option as centre half and left back cover.

Engels is a better footballer imo
Konsa did improve but he won’t be able to make up for his limited ball playing abilities
....
totally disagree.
I think Engels has some attributes but Konsa is a real prospect and looks after the ball really well.

Konsa, Engels - both are ok if you want to keep fighting relegation - if you want to make your way up the table, then neither have shown much more than that yet.

It’s more than me, I haven’t got the foggiest who anyone is anymore. The older I get the less I know what’s going on outside of Villa.

They've been here five minutes. One's 22 and the other's been injured for five months.

It’s also odd not to notice the steep upward curve in Konsa’s development.

Thank God we didn't have messageboards when Ugo made his debut against Norwich.

  it would be nice to get a bit more experience and someone not as injury prone in to support the back line :)

Nah. Defence is sorted. Go get some attackers. They'll all look a lot better if oppositions are scared to go all out attack because they know we offer a threat going forwards.

Checked the internet this afternoon.
This is the players linked with Villa so far by Fleet Street's finest:

Said Benrahma
Divock Origi
Takefuso Kubo
Jose Gomes Campana
Ruben Shakpoke
Kelechi Ihenacho
James McCarthy
John Swift
Christian Luyindama
Robin Olsen
Eberechi Eze
Ollie Watkins
Emo Buendia
Aaron Hickey
Odsonne Edouard
Max Aarons
Milot Rashica
Jeff Hendrick
Ben Chisene
Sil Swinkels - signed

Wonder how many will actually join us?


who the fuck are most of them?

I do wonder if at this time of the year the sports desks have some kind of bingo machine that they pull names and clubs out of before writing an article.

I thought Konsa was very good on the ball and did ok at full back. Cracking delivery on him.
