That Guessand looks exactly the type we need. So he'll go to Palace and no doubt score against us for the next 3 seasons.

Maybe beggars can't be choosers but I don't want Asensio back. Too slow and can only play one role for us which is also Rogers best position. Faded after looking promising initially a la Coutinho, didn't do anything in the big games from what I remember. Linked up well with Rashford, but he won't be here this time.
That's where I am.

Rough on pros in that situation. I think the Donk might be best to focus on changing position back to CB, he played there from memory for Belgium in a Euros or WC. Modern midfield play at a decent level requires more technical ability than he has.
Hey, we need another CB; perhaps I've sussed a solution that suits everyone!

We will never play a high line again 😃

Why is Nicko reluctant?

He's a Blackburn Rovers fan. Wouldn't you be reluctant?

There's an Ariana Grande song that goes "Yes and.... say that shit with your chest" I think it's the obvious choice.

His goalscoring record is pretty average...

Hope it improves at Villa, or 'Evann Knows I’m Miserable Now" will become his terrace song.

Does this mean in classic Villa tradition we are imminently going to sell someone?

Looks strong, skilful and versatile.
