    But you have to defend you need more than one midfielder.. Otherwise they would spend half their time running backwards.

    Claude Makelele? Short of that I see them being in trouble.

    Think they'd find a way just fine

    Alot of players out there that would improve us

    But we just have to hope the next big "unknown" works out for us as it has so far (I say unknown noone that hyped up)

    They would find a way OK clever clogs.. Has for our midfield. over the last 2 seasons. its actually worked hasnt it?? we have 3 work men like midfielders.
    Its ok winning 2/3 games playing sublime football. Its the in between games that matters. its how consistent you are.
    For all the greatness of Fernandes and so on. They are still miles behind the top teams and they will still lose more than they win.
    You can't have a team with 2 attacking midfielders who basically play in the same position. Your going to be found out on the counter attack.
    Has for buying Grealish even if we had the money. Its not a signing Klopp would go for..

    I would like to see how Grealish copes with teams that play the low block and put two players around him.. Its ok when he gets space in between the midfield and back line of the opposition as the opposition tend to be more open against Villa..
    Its not so easy when teams have no intention of attacking but set out simply to block every space in front of them..

    Would rather spend the money on Haaland personally but each to their own.
    There is a feeling Grealish holds in to the ball too long which is why he is the most fouled player in the league. To be at our most affective our front three need the ball moving quickly.

    I also don't particularly like Grealish. But he is English, so we'll get approximately 900% more penalties

    And for what its worth, I cant see Grealish leaving in the summer. He signed a 5 year deal last summer

    Anyway i'm sensing negativity about us right now. But we are joint top of the league and top of our champions league group..
    if it wasn't for VAR and us being robbed in at least 2 games we would have 4 point lead in the league.
    The likes of TAA will be back soon and Keita doesn't look like he will be out for long. Hopefully the others will get fit as well pretty soon. (apart from Gomez and VVD)

    Yeah i'm with you on the Haaland signing. We need and out an out striker.. For all his good work Firmino doesnt score enough.

    Same but it's not going to happen sooo

    Oh well

    P.S grealish can play on the left too not that I want him anyway, are midfield is to creatitive and goalscoring enough, plus he's not injury prone

    Maybe we can get a foreign similar playing for x10 cheaper who knows

    can't see us getting another midfielder unless Wij doesn't get a contract- other postions need sorting more
