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.
 
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.

Digne, Mina and Rodriguez were good signings for us were they not? Certainly better than Godfrey, Holgate and Mykolenko
