It seems circumstance was on our side, we had and have room in midfield for him, whereas villa had and have quite a few midfielders. Effectively they instant upgraded with Onana and we've brought Tim Iroegbunam on and look like reaping that benefit. Let's not go tearing any rotor cuffs by slapping ourselves on the back though just yet, there's plenty still to do and there'll be mistakes and bad games along the way.
Think Onana would have been sold either way given the state we were in then.
Correct we were on the verge of going bust .... Tim is really turning out to give us physical presence in the middle of the park ...
Has any club performed this limbo dance as often as us? Z cars should be played on steel drums to signify it.
? we were lucky to survive the massive debts ....
We definitely do. But it's up to Iroegbunam to keep the new signing out of the team.
Garner, Armstrong, Tim, Rohl, KDH can all play in that role there's 5 options do we really need more especially if the long term plan is to move dibling into CAM with grealish on the left and ndiaye on the right then garner is the guaranteed starter and you have 4 players competing for that other central midfield role
If we have any aspirations of playing in Europe every year and finally winning something then we'll need better options than those.
tim, rohl and armstrong could develop into top class midfielders in the next few years
Yeh, hopefully.
just rewatched the forest game and round about the 68-70th min, Tim won possession deep in our own half and started an attack, then received the ball back in the oppo box where he tried to bulldoze his way past 2 players, lost it, which enabled forest to counter - but within a min, he was back in our half covering the defense.
