Or you could throw in multiple serious injurys if the players had any (sounds discriminatory but is a valid point I reckon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a good squad on paper. It remains to be seen whether they all gel and whether the tactics they employ get the best out of what they have. We have a good squad in practice. Plenty of evidence over the last couple of seasons to demonstrate that fact. We'll have to see, but as always the first ten games will tell us a lot about most clubs prospects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 10 August 2021 Share Posted 10 August 2021 If Maddison were to go, I can see Lingard coming in as a 'ready-made' replacement who, because of the poor resale value, we'd keep extending his contract and use as a squad player well into his thirties. But I think in the next one or two windows we'd still be in for a young up-and-coming player for the same position who can slot in but who can also be taken out of the firing line.

Villa fan on TV says, "Ideally, we'd get a DM like Ndidi" and immediately this is translated on FT into "Villa reckon they're going to sign Ndidi".
