Just a heads up for anyone interested, James Bree playing centre back for a Villa against Leeds, should be interesting, don’t know if he’s played there before or not. Hourihane also starting, they’ve just gone one up early on
A player who's main attribute for us was his attacking and main weakness was defending being asked to play centre back?
Can't help feeling Hourihane has probably made himself a millionaire, but no longer a winner like with us. You would expect Villa to get out of the championship, but it's not a given because the strength of the league, and once the parachute money runs out it will be even more difficult. Dunno how highly rated he is, but there may come a time when either Villa don't match his ambitions, or no longer want to pay him the big wage he's currently on.
