This is sounding like serious cope
No the cope is you thinking MVE may be staying as Lampard might play him RWGood footballers have to be far more adaptable in the modern game. No longer are players seen as one trick ponies. For instance
Rudoni has been deployed as a wingback before now. During games if you watch other teams tactics there is a lot of rotation. I think it was Middlesbrough last year who played with a back four. But in possession it looked like they had a back three. A different player was coming out of the back four and pushing into their midfield giving them an extra man. It was difficult for us to cope with because of the rotation. The player pushing into their midfield kept changing.

Very happy, top signing. Villa have established themselves as a top 6/7 side, fighting for the European spots for the last 3 years. Understandably the level they are looking at is higher but the vast majority of comments I've read about him from them are positive.
In a couple of years he'll be back in the PL, hopefully with us.
Friend of mine is a Villa fan and thought they'd keep himAlso they are struggling with PSR aren’t they, so probably need to sell off some assets that they might otherwise want to keep.
Toffolo sounds like it could be a type of sauce tbf.
Easily.Unless KKH is being brought in as a LB (unlikely), I can’t see how the squad accommodates both MVE and KKH.
If you want your full backs getting forward to support attacks and get crosses in then they'll be covering ridiculous amounts of ground at a high intensity. Just asking for muscle strains and tears, especially from Christmas onwards as the schedule becomes more crowded.
I thought he was outstanding at CBS for Preston amd relieved when he got injured. He was playing right back but was frequently in Coventry penalty area.Great signing.
Bradzi CollinioWho's going to be the new goalkeeper then??
I'm not saying that people want him out. But I don't agree that having 2 good wingbacks means one simply must go that's all.No one wants to get rid of MVE, he’s been a reliable player for us since he’s joined.
It’s part and parcel that our selling point as a club is that we’ll develop players and won’t stand in the way of a player who can better themselves. With specific relation to MVE, if we can triple our money and strengthen 2-3 positions, we’ve done v well.

Theres a difference though. We have spend a combined 7-8 million on the pair. Neither will want to be 'back up'. Both played almost every game last season for their clubs. Something has to give here.I'm not saying that people want him out. But I don't agree that having 2 good wingbacks means one simply must go that's all.

Having both of them allows rotation to prevent that fatigue, either in different games or sub one off for the other after an hour or so to maintain the intensity. Not about 1 being first choice and the other back up, it's both being rotation.
I do think MvE will leave, but it will be for financial reasons not because we can't fit them both in.
I take that on board and not saying your wrong. And he prob has been signed as a replacement as it sounds like mve is off to Fulham or somewhereTheres a difference though.

KKH is a ‘marquee’ signing for his position. He’s been developing at a rapid pace and if he developed his attacking, he’d be a better RB than MVE comfortably.Theres a difference though.

You don't seem to be getting that when we say rotation we're basically saying two first choices. Both would still feature heavily pretty much every game. They would still have some of the highest minutes on the pitch. And that's before considering a player being out injured.Depth is needed, but we also need players in quite a few positions so spending £3.5+ mil on a squad/rotational player just seems daft. If it was a free transfer or cheaper £1-2m signing, perhaps it’d be a more squad building signing.

KKH played 51 games last year, Milan played 48. They don’t need to be rotated every game they are both worth of being a comfortable first choice right back at this level, or higher.You don't seem to be getting that when we say rotation we're basically saying two first choices.

Fair point.KKH won every award possible at Preston last year, he wouldn’t sign here without knowing he will be our first choice RB.
I understand the concept… The notion is just fanciful, frankly. Why would MVE or KKH want their minutes limited and/or relegated to bit part players? They wouldn’t.You don't seem to be getting that when we say rotation we're basically saying two first choices. Both would still feature heavily pretty much every game.

Im pretty astounded people cant grasp itI understand the concept… The notion is just fanciful, frankly. Why would MVE or KKH want their minutes limited and/or relegated to bit part players? They wouldn’t.
MVE is wanted by quite a lot of teams so the more likely reason we signed KKH is because we expect to sell MVE for a healthy profit.
If we signed a young 20 year old or something from L1 (for arguments sake), it would be a rotation option.
From the videos I have seen of him he certainly doesn't seem the type to spit his dummy out if things don't go his way. But at the same time he knows he is good enough to be in our 1st 11.KKH won every award possible at Preston last year, he wouldn’t sign here without knowing he will be our first choice RB.
