  • Surprised to see Ashley Young back at the Villa after 10 years. He's 7 years older than anyone else in the squad!

  • bit of cover for Targett I suppose. didn't Targett play every minute of every game last season? Young has always been a decent player. and has medals to back that up, now including the scudetto

  • Yes - and for Tezuguet who is out for the season. Makes sense as a stopgap for a year while some of the kids come through as he can cover a number of positions. Just quite unexpected as we've been very much focussing on young signings with potential to improve - still the youngest squad in the league, so probably a bit of experience will be useful. Inter wanted him for another year so obviously not completely shot yet.

    In other news, rumours seem to be that Grealish will start tonight with Sterling swapping to the right. Also Shaw, James and Maguire coming into the back 4. Bit harsh on Mings after such a good game, but Southgate was always going to back a part-fit Maguire as soon as he could. (May also be nonsense leaks of course).
