The problem is that he was bought to be a Kamara back up but has been injured himself, which he can't really help.

To be honest I would be embarrassed to appear on a social media video wearing those hideous clothes.

Yeah, he's a likeable guy but I won't be seeking him out for fashion advice.

Id happily cash in on him in the summer  as his fitness is the biggest issue. He is the opposite in terms of fitness of dougie. Say what you want about dougie but he played a majority of the season when with us. Unfortunately  cant see anyone coming close to payong 50m for him so he will just have to pray his fitness issues improve

This guy will sneeze and get injured  🤧

Cash in? Then you say people won't pay, so which is it?

Erm happily cash in if a good option comes in? Which is what i was alluding to

I don't think that's true. There's no way we broke our transfer record in a PSR problematic summer on a player that we didn't plan on being in our strongest team.

Double pivot I think - him and Kamara first choices as breakers up and starting attacks.

There was no way of knowing for sure that Kamara was coming back like new when Onana was bought, so perhaps it was some insurance in that regard (and so a bit of both)? 

We just aren't the same prospect when we play without an imposing player in midfield - especially versus teams who want to mix it up in there. Newcastle, Palace, Forest - even fucking Spurs bullied us. If we dont' win duels we look a bit predictable and brittle at the back.

To be fair I'm sure he made them himself.

I really like him and I’m happy to have a bit of little patience. He’s a young lad with a very good future, hopefully with us.

Yep, have been wanting to see that pairing in central midfield have a run of games together all season.  They've only managed the odd one here and there unfortunately.

Where is this guy ? I wonder if he'll get called up to Belgium internationals coming up in couple of weeks against Ukraine . And that's despite his no show here at Villa I can see that happening as he'll be surely getting back to being avalanche for selection.

I think he would do well to be staying at working in fitness and the Emery system than going on international duty.

Avalanche? I thought he played for Belgium, not Switzerland!
