I just looked up Dean Gaffney on wiki to see if he’s still alive and it says Wesley Fofana hit him in a Lamborghini a couple of years ago. He survived.

Sad to think we'll never make a signing of this value again. 

 

BDB is probably the equivalent taking into account the inflated market year on year.

 

But agree best 3/3.5m ever spent.

The amazing thing about this lad is despite being an unbelievable player and one of the best looking footballers playing today, he just seems like a proper no fuss lad. Just gets on with stuff, no airs and graces, doesn’t seem to have a real ego despite having confidence in himself. Love him.

That's NOT Fabian Schar!

Has to be one of the most underrated players in the league the past few years? Never gets a mention. 

 

Worked with a young Villa fan recently that rated him and his ball playing skills highly. Rarely see credit from commentators let alone oppo fans.

 

Botman took 90% of the CB praise in 22/23 when Schar clearly outperformed him.

Totally agree.

Thought for a few years that Schär is in my all time Newcastle XI but I think I'm getting really close to Burn joining him tbh.

Shoo-in aesthetically (in more ways than one) for my favourite CB of all time. Technique on his pingers get me firm every time.

Probably still traumatised from the most handsome central defender ever crashing two goals in at Villa Park in January 2024.

Still underrated by certain portions of our fan base too imo. Feel like there's often doubt cast over him and many feel ready to write him off.

Schar is outstanding, I don't think we realise how hard it will be to replace his unique skillset. Generally most centre backs need to be "ball-playing" these days, but it's one thing being comfortable to receive the ball and move it side to side, or produce a switch like Botman can. What Schar does is on another level to that, his technique is perfection, he doesn't break a stride and can find any pass, of any weight, to anywhere.

One of the most underrated Premier League players in history.
