Everyone always assumes all players are fit and in form when trying to find space for a player or justify his signing.

It's very rarely the case where you have a whole squad to choose from and they're all in form. Plus we have too many players with question marks about their form.

Sterling - hit and miss and has been miss for a while. Has fundamental technical problems in his game that won't change.

Gundo - Had a great season but has had poor seasons. No evidence to suggest he will be any better next season.

Bernardo - Had one immense season and some average ones. Still not sure which Bernardo we are going to get. He was better this season, but not consistently.

Mahrez - Great season, again, has been poor or average more than he's been great.

Torres - still a kid and will be hit and miss.

Jesus - no longer a kid and will be hit and miss.

KDB will be his imperious self and Foden will continue to get better but beyond them two, there's an awful lot of question marks to be had about what sort of form the others will be in. The same applies to Grealish, of course, but it's no bad thing having players with technical quality like his.

There's also the age angle of one or two, even Kevin. He will need to be looked after.

I don't disagree on that but at the minute Grealish does seem happy to stay at Villa.

His club, he's treated like royalty and is the main man, almost runs the place.

But if PEP is knocking on his door, can he resist or would he or anyone for that matter?

Coached by the best, playing with the best.

Right so you think the way we played this season to cope without a striker is the way we're going to play from now on.

Personally I think the fact we're obviously buying a marquee striker is proof we're going to go back to playing how Pep's played for the other 11 seasons of his managerial career, with a big focus on the wings.

I think we are actually a lot closer this season to his Barca sides than we were in 2017-2019. Kane is perfect for our current set up if we get him, he links up very well and is a great passer.

The longer build up and increased number of short passes amongst forwards has really helped us overcome the parked buses this year & also negated our weakness to counter attacks. I’m fairly confident it will continue anyway.

Excellent post, and easy to forget a lot of it when we are flying and firing on all cylinders.

Pep’s used inverted wingers most of his time here regardless of who’s upfront barring the 17/18 season. Yesterdays team with Grealish in Sterlings position and Kane in Gabby’s is where I see it going personally. Foden and Sterling either side of Kane would be effective though so lets see.
