The Spider arrives 🕷️
Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham on a season-long loan, with a conditional obligation to buy 🤝
Rogers, Tielemans, Konsa and potentially Watkins & Martinez. Never in a million years did I think we would do all in one go. Reinforcements needed asap.
Good luck Youri trying to get these on side every week 👍
🚨Scholes believes Tielemans is inconsistent and laying for a club with lower expectations can sometimes hide inconsistency.
“What do you reckon's the best transfer so far this summer?”
🗣️McGuiness: “Yeah, I just said I think Telemans. I think for the value of money and if they get the right people around him, I think he'd be a good sign.”
🗣️Scholes: “I disagree on Tielemans. I think Tielemans can either be a nine out of 10 or a two out of 10 or three out of 10.... I think he's inconsistent.”
“Now at Man United... maybe at Villa you can get away without always being on your day”
“At Man United you've got to be— you've got to be performing four out of five games. You can't afford to be two or three games out of five.”
I agree with Scholes
Tielemans can be a 9 one week and a 2 the next. At Villa that inconsistency gets hidden. At United you have to deliver 4 out of 5 games or it gets exposed immediately.
Same story as Brennan Johnson. Looked electric at Forest, then flopped into inconsistency at Spurs once the expectations and stage got bigger.
United need reliability in midfield, not occasional brilliance.
