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.

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