Who? Longstaff maybe but there’s not another midfielder in our squad I’d rather have Barkley than 

Willock.  
 

I’m sure the £120m Villa have received from Saudi means they are fine from a FFP perspective. These short term deals look like they want an injection to push them back into a good European position this season and a big run in the CL

He's been far more useful than both Longstaff and Willock have been this season.

Willock is just in bad form. People quickly forget how good he’s been for us.

But how long has that bad form lasted for? The less game time he gets, the more he regresses imo

 

A classic case of a player needed 4/5 starts on the spin

I am surprised Emery is keen on him - he's pretty downed tools for the last two years for his hometown club.  Not quite displaying the best attitude.

Paying any wages and potentially £40m is not a good deal for someone who has completely lost interest in playing football.

Big fan of all these quotes with opposite opinions. Will be quoting you all (I won’t I’m too lazy) when Rashy bangs them in and ends up back in the England squad

So thats Villa paying 70% of Rashfords salary and 100% of Asensios salary. 
 

Must be closer to £400,000 a week that.

 

Even if it is, that's what, 7 million quid or so between now and June? Worthwhile risk if even one of them performs for them between now and the end of the season and pushes them into Europe again.

Villa are losing legs in the league. They need something. 
 

this is par for Emery though.  European success comes at the cost of league performance.  They could go deep over there.  A CL QF/SF + Any European football is a success imo.
