When mina came in the end of last season, it really showed us his lack of quality . Poor this year so far

Hinchcliffe's Corner
Player Valuation: £40m
Terrible body positioning for the second goal. He's our level though at this point in time.
you have a recently promoted villa team who have signed centre halves like diego carlos from sevilla, pau torres from villareal and clement lenglet from barcelona and we can only bring in an out of contract player who was relegated with burnley
I mean we got Mina, Digne, etc. from Barca as well a few years ago, and there's a reason Barca fans say "he's now your problem" about Lenglet lol
The rest yeah, sure, but they were pulled in by the managers, Torres especially is very much an Emery signing all things considered. Remember when we had Carlo pull JameZ RodrigueZ out of a hat like that? Yeah, same thing.

No alternatives other than those proven many times to be much worse than him.
Can only hope the longer he plays with Branthwaite the better understanding they'll get and his level will improve.
He's been woeful in all four games do far though. Misplaced passes galore, massive aimless thump upfield, slow and ponderous in possession, etc. Needs to improve quickly.

I don’t think he’s been great but I do think he’s a really good defender that is hopefully just pit of form. I think having a regular partner in Branthwaite will help to hopefully forge a solid partnership.
Honestly he's probably our level as people are saying here, which is the sad reality of it. He'll have good and horrible games but overall he's an average footballer, decent defender and good hype man, the latter of which is somewhat needed on the pitch I guess.
Sadly he's also one of our 2 good CB's, the other being Branthwaite, as the rest are calamitous.
No idea how we didn't push for another defender this season lol One step forward, two backwards as always.

We let 3 centre halves go, we should have signed at least one starter centre half. But I think at this stage Moshiri is just clawing back what money he can.
Pretty sure Villa wanted to sign him last summer but he chose to join us.
Digne, Mina and Rodriguez were good signings for us were they not? Certainly better than Godfrey, Holgate and Mykolenko
Yeah they were, I meant it's more of a manager (and in the case of Digne - manager + DoF) pull and not really who got relegated or anything like that.
Even Tarkowski out of form is better than Keane or Godfrey.
