Conan Doherty

But yeah, he's just one of those examples.

Like Conza McGinn Watkins for me, just the personification of this villain team.

And then if you go through it, like Emery would ideally, if this was a perfect word, have kept a lot of players along this journey, along the three and a half years that he's been there.

Talked about Buendia coming back and Bailey coming back.

But do you think about Diaby was so important.

He just came for one year.

He's one of the main reasons Villa got into Champions League in the first place.

He was so good playing off the striker.

John Duran, I know he's, you know,

He's got his own issues and maybe it wouldn't have lasted this long anyway.

But you wouldn't have gotten rid of him in an ideal world if you had a united level of finances, I suppose.

Daniel Mallon was brilliant this season.

Went to Serie A, lit it up there as well.

Just watching him become almost top scorer in Serie A with half a season.

And he was on your team at the start of the year.

Jacob Ramsey never would have gotten rid of unless you really had to.

When Douglas Luiz left, he's not as good as he was now.

But when he left, did he just qualify for the Champions League?

He was one of the better players.

And you have to get rid of him and Diaby as you're going into a Champions League season.
