Another attribute he has that I think Emery is looking for is intelligence. He’s a bright eloquent lad, similar to Mings.

Yes.

And good looking. I mean, I expect that that's not *that* high on Emery's list of requirements, although he has bought a few good looking lads.

It feels we default to looks for male footballers far quicker than we do for female ones e.g. I haven't seen anyone here praising Adriana Leon for being beautiful. Perhaps I've gone woke.

i praised her and immediately said she was on another level to Lehman

I wasn't including you as you're on the ball more than most.

*Googles Adriana Leon*

I like the cut of your jib. She’ll be please to know she gets the thumbs up from me!

Nice to hear from the big man on the first Official Villa Podcast. McInally talked over him a bit much though, for me.

[Percy McCarthy]

Overall it was a decent telescopic-legs swap, Tim for Amadou.

my Everton supporting mate says Tim has been their best player so far. Not sure what that says about Tim or the rest of the team though TBH.

He’s playing great, fair play to him. Hopefully he goes to pot on Saturday, then returns to the form that makes him a great advert for our academy.

[Dante Lavelli]

Is there likely to be a sell on clause with Tim’s deal to Everton?

Looks a case of horses for courses on both of them, doesn't it?

Think Tim and Onana are both better off for the deal. Villa definitely are. Everton...maybe not.

[AV84]

Was is not Dobbin that was part of the swap deal for Tim? Onana was a separate transaction entirely.

[Toronto Villa]

Technically they were all separate deals.

[eamonn]

McInally is a bit much at times, isn't he? I like that he likes us but, pipe down and stop trying too hard.

[Footy-Vill]

Given the injuries I wonder how much scope to play Onana at center back in a game or two??
I read Emery used him there in pre season when Carlos was injured and he adapted well. I would suggest only for Everton and then bring in Swinkels or Bogarde for Wycombe next week.
