Not very impressive on the ball, but he’s brilliant defensively and one hell of a unit. 6’4 and strong as an ox. Could be interesting to see him play alongside Rodri and allow Rodri to have more attacking freedom. Keep forgetting that he’s only 22. Kabore + 40m could be a very good dealPeople/Tacticos on X, love him.

Easy to see why. Was impressed with him in both matches for Belgium - has a hell of an engine that lad. Was all over the pitch in both matches I watched and would cook next to Rodri.People/Tacticos on X, love him.
I think Onana would be a hell of a consolation price if Bruno G doesn't happen.

he'd probably be great if we didnt dominate the ball as much as we do, lots of better options for me.Not very impressive on the ball, but he’s brilliant defensively and one hell of a unit. 6’4 and strong as an ox.

Yeah agreed, needs to improve on the ball and also work on his passing. Would work very well as a shield in front of the back 4 though, he’s very solid defensivelyhe'd probably be great if we didnt dominate the ball as much as we do, lots of better options for me.

I'm sure he could get better, looking at his pass % for last season. He'd be the worst in the side after Alvarez, Kev and Erling.Yeah agreed, needs to improve on the ball and also work on his passing. Would work very well as a shield in front of the back 4 though, he’s very solid defensively
Maybe he's an option with them wanting a few players and the need have in there. we'll see.

Wasn't he 100m before Xmas?

I think if he were going to another PL club Villa would probably be pushing for another 15-20m imo.
Their business, not for me to say. The italians are pushy fuckers, and maybe villa are happy to take less to see him go abroad.

Everton have signed Tim Iroegbunam from Villa. Good prospect so surprised Villa have let him go!
And apparently Villa are closing in on Lewis Dobbin from Everton.
It's great this PSR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is not very good on the ball. That itself is a problem. The guy sitting next to Rodri, has to be good on the ball both while playing with Rodri and when replacing Rodri.Not very impressive on the ball, but he’s brilliant defensively and one hell of a unit. 6’4 and strong as an ox.

If s midfielder is weaker on the ball than our defenders, he won't be s good fit in my opinion. One of our weaknesses last year was having players with lesser technical ability dominating our possession and struggling to connect quickly with our attacking players and making our attack harder to start up quickly.
Hence why a Bruno, Neves, Vitinha, De Jong, or even Rodri's teammate Ruiz strike me as far better fits in my opinion.
Lots of our defense and offense is predicted on cohesive possession. The more players who are deficient on that skill the harder it gets to hit our full stride.
