The match last night went pretty well considering our lack of preparation, the injuries and illness and the fact we were at least behind Wolves in fitness. All the same with a short intense season it is pretty clear we need some gaps in the squad filled.
Left back is issue though I can see Cancelo, Ake and Zinchenko being deployed there. Fernandinho and Rodri worked well together but Fernandinho won’t be able to play twice a week and Gundogan and Rodri offer a less mobile combination.
I think the likes of Aouar or Zakaria is would work well beside Rodri or Gundogan. We’ll need to replace Fernandinho next summer so why not make the move now so we have cover this season and they’ll get a chance to settle in while Fernandinho’s still here?

Because it would take up an extra squad place we don't have room for.We’ll need to replace Fernandinho next summer so why not make the move now so we have cover this season and they’ll get a chance to settle in while Fernandinho’s still here?

Douglas Luiz is getting the experience he needs to go with his talent to be that guy and our buy back is written in.The match last night went pretty well considering our lack of preparation, the injuries and illness and the fact we were at least behind Wolves in fitness.

Him and Otamendi going leaves us with a very strong four in that positionGuys, Garcia is almost definitely getting sold after we close a deal for a new centerback. Chill.

everything is pointing towards douglas luis next season.
Seems like the ideal Fernandinho replacement and has always looked impressive to me whenever I've seen him for Villa.everything is pointing towards douglas luis next season.

When you say "everything" are you just talking about some comments on bluemoon?

Hope we get a CB and at least try to get 1-2 more players in. Although, i suspect it's going to be 1 more maximum. Since Zinchenko is unlikely to leave this window due to his muscle injury, right?
But given the injuries we already have. As well as the fixture congestion that is going to last pretty much the entire season. I don't see how we could have too many players in any position, at any point of the season.

Sturridge when he went to Chelsea.Sorry must be getting my wires crossed have we received compensation for one of our players ?
There's no cheaper AND good option available on the market. Either you pay big and secure a player like Koulibaly, or you pay big and secure your future and also get a solid player like Koundé in. The market is roughMay be we need a CB but not That EXPENSIVE one. May be thats why we are after kounde.
Lazio seem quite keen on Otamendi yet we are just basing it on the chance that Sevilla accept him in a deal. Not sure how a player like him is still at the club when he has been needed gone since last summer.

I wonder if last night's victory has changed the minds of our board re any more signings?. Maybe they feel Stones will be sufficient back up at centre half?
Uh no, Stones will not be our top right footed centre back post deadline day.I wonder if last night's victory has changed the minds of our board re any more signings?. Maybe they feel Stones will be sufficient back up at centre half?

With the prospect of no fans in stadia this season I think it would be safe to say there is nothing in the piggy bank, unless some club wants to buy Stones, Garcia, or Otamendi. The players here already under contract have every right to stay where they are.
So you may well be wrong
At the bare minimum Otamendi would be sent out on a subsidized loan.With the prospect of no fans in stadia this season I think it would be safe to say there is nothing in the piggy bank, unless some club wants to buy Stones, Garcia, or Otamendi.
