I think diary was ok - his numbers were good and there were flashes of class.  I think he would have improved this season.

But overall my concern and I think most people is he wasnt adequately replaced.

Which in hindsight it’s clear Beundia doesn’t have a place (I think maybe Roger’s was his replacement) and rely on JJ not to be injuried Bailey to be as good as last season was a bit optimistic

I think we tried every day of the week to replace him, just proved too difficult.

monkey and vidy knew the season would bring extra games and more travelling.
Villa this season is basically when Rogers plays well they win and when he doesn't turn up they lose. We needed someone to share the workload with him.
you could of taken Smith Rowe or Hudson Odoi (loan made perm) who both moved this summer
They spent heavy on Onana but he hasn't pulled up any trees, was he even first choice traget? we were linked with Gallagher for weeks.
I hope Sawiris tells him to get off twitter and pull his finger out.
This season was a massive opportunity to do something. Teams like manu and man city falling away, instead we've been sucked back in to midtable.

Looks like Moussa might be struggling to come to terms no longer being slagged off by Darren of Erdington.

I wonder if he regrets retiring so young though?

How’s Diaby getting in playing over there
I have zero interest in Saudi football so don’t keep up with how players/managers doing

Fine. Not tearing it up, but one of the better players for the team at the top of the league.

10 assists (4 in one game) and 1 goal. Injured at the moment though.

You'd have 6 assists and 2 goals out there by now, with an xG of 20, if you went out there.

I have never watched saudi football at all. I know the standards low but i would imagine his team mates would be at a very poor level?
