WHY Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 17 minutes ago, Newry_Villan said: Yea they probably have these things timed to post. If it is his achilles tendon then it would have been made a lot worse after the physio was stretching him for cramp. He can’t speak English so maybe communication might have been an issue and they thought he had cramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can if he is out for season. But more likely be high that figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Such a shame for the guy. Such a shame for us. We are back to square 1 in central defence. Do we stick or twist. Do we keep Hause , play Mings and Chambers / Konsa with Feeney as the 5th defender . Or maybe get a years loan in from somewhere to keep us going. . Thats one for Lange i reckon. But it will stop us getting another centre mid i reckon if we do go out in the market 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don't mind Chambers and Konsa fighting for the RCB shirt for the season. Defence has been solid for us for a couple of years now, in terms of personnel at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 We earn a pittance from commercial activities compared to many. But we pay very well . 100 mill down per year on the likes of Arsenal and Spurs. So we will see net spend plummet as wages go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed people seem to think we can keep spending £100m every season without problems all the while wages and other costs keep going up too. We have to coach what we have to be better and hope the youth can step up now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Typical Villa luck. Unbelievable. I was thinking that there was something about him that didn't seem like a Villa player. Almost too good to be true in a way. I really hope he regains tip top form soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season we got relegated we had desperate defenders starting, never mind the bench. Konsa and Chambers walk into that relegated team . We wanted a squad. We wanted depth. We have it.

Indigo Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Probably been pointed out already but how typical that a guy that has missed less than 10 games across his whole career with injury has this happen almost immediately with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose CB pace and striker pace is a bit different. You lose the explosiveness. A CB could compensate through reading of the play for example, but losing that initial burst to get away from the defender could really affect your game as a striker.
