Think he could be sold. Monchi could work his magic. Unfortunately hasn't got over his injury which is a tough one and doesn't seem to have the required ability on ball and lacks pace.
Tim Vickery called him Terry Butcher in reverse.

Like everyone else, I havent seen much of him but from the little I have, he doesnt seem to lack either pace or ability on the ball. He just hasnt played enough to settle yet.

Chambers has played really well when called on in the pre-season games, so look likes he’ll be 4th choice centre back and second choice right back. I think Carlos will be off.

I'd say you are right. We hardly bought Carlos to be fourth choice CB and he's clearly struggling to get up to speed since his injury. Season long loan back to Spain I suspect.

Even before Emery came he wasn't the player signed to play out from the back and his distribution leaves a lot to be desired.
I hope he can be utilised if Emery sees fit but I wouldn't be bothered if he was sold on. He clearly knows how to defend but need more than that from a football in Emery system. Can he cope with the high line we play? I'm not so sure. We need everyone up to speed pronto. No room for hangers on at the top end.

A big sale to Saudi League would be great.
Suits all parties.  He would do well there and gives him games.

Bollocks to helping prop that league up. I hope DC settles in and does well here.

I think Stevie G made it clear he was signing him to play out from the back. Whether he can do that I think is very hard to judge, after a couple of half games in pre season, plus, what 2.5 games or less of premier league football.

Let them take Terry Butcher in reverse off our hands.
Though I guess it could be the forces , agents and Italians using Villa name as my theory was that Aston Villa are mentioned far too much by Italian sources yet never appear true.
