Villa Fan - We Need To Hit Ground Running Next Season

We don't know how many of these players would perform well in the PL because they haven't played there. Players do develop; look at Cahill. One thing about our squad is that we have a number of players who are young enough to have prospects of developing further. Leicester apparently "didn't have a PL squad". Reputations count for nothing. It's what actually happens on the pitch which counts.
 
Gana is rubbish. Just look at his goals and assists stats at Everton. It's laughable hence why he isn't now being benched
 
Idrissa Gueye generally plays under Ronald Koeman, that speaks for itself really, he leads the yellow card race, I don't know but the midfield at Everton, well it's not frighteningly good[Barclay hot and cold, Barry getting on a bit] but Koeman gets Everton ticking. Gana is just another example of what should have been - I don't think he is ever going to be a Kante but at Villa it just didn't happen. Why?
 
Maybe I'm too cynical tonight but the last thing we need to do is hit the ground running.

How about we stay on our feet and try and football - scary idea I think.

To be fair Gana's independent stats at Villa were good but he plays a non showy game like Kante. Main different is Kante became the pundits flavour of the year because of Leicester's season, so he'll always be a poor man Kante now even though we competed better with him in the side than we did with him out of the side.

His job isn't to score or assist, that's like claiming Kodjia is shit because he doesn't put in goal defining blocks in the six yard box.

Average players will look shit in a team struggling, all of Villa's players would look better playing in better teams. I think its that simple.
