Huddlestone touched Clich so that means that Pawson will keep his form from our game with Bournemouth and send Hudds off right?
I just don't think he has close to Eriksen's intelligence of movement or vision myself. I'd much rather go after Brandt, who's got a 22m release clause and is a much more intelligent, versatile and productive player.
We need HG players.
But we don't need mediocre ones. I'd genuinely rather give Roles and Edwards some minutes for free than spend 30-40m on Grealish.
We need very good HG players and that's what Grealish is. He was easily the best player on view in either game today. He has almost single handedly put Villa in contention.
Edwards who couldn't get in a Championship team and Roles who can barely get on our bench, despite injuries?
Yeah, I know it's not going happen that way, I would just rather that myself.
The stuff about loans is pretty moot. Kane looked shit on most of his loans, Leicester and Norwich fans were laughing at him for missing sitters etc. I think Edwards has benefitted from his loan (until Moniz came in) and I think he would really benefit from playing With better players in our first team. Give us something we don't have. Roles likewise has a rare gift of timing, he might not look as aesthetically pleasing as Grealish but he gets into great positions and is a really cool finisher. I just do not get why he's been totally ignored by Pochettino, whilst we have literally no attacking players on our bench.
Onto Fiorentina vs Milan.
Piatek, Suso and Borini as the attacking trio. One of these does not look like the others.

Roles has not been offered a contract, so he will be leaving in the summer. Released/retained players
That doesn't suggest the club rate him that highly.
He's a genuine baller mate. Works hard off the ball too. I'd agree he's not as smart as Eriksen but Eriksen has had a very different schooling and I think that shows. But Eriksen is also surrounded by better players, this is highly significant when comparing the output of creative players. He also will fill out much needed English quota too. However, I think it will be academic as I think Villa will go up, they appear to have momentum.
I'm afraid I haven't seen much of Brandt but aware he has a good rep.
Brandt should be on the top of our list (absolute steal for £22m), but it's questionable whether we can sign him, would be amazing.
