Lee A Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Taking 3 points and a good player in the same week? If Villa had a wife we'd have nailed her by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Makes perfect sense as a signing. We have seen that he is an excellent full back. He knows the club and the league very well and can play on the wing if needed. It also means that Pudil can cover centre back as we have a quality left back to stand in for him.

Beauchief Owl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Makes good sense. He knows club and we know him. Just need that CB now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'd be happy enough to see him return, although signing Pudil and Bennett doesn't actually improve on last year. We need a few more signings like Abdi and Fletcher if we are to close the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Big fan of Pudil don't get me wrong, but I think Bennett is a better full back overal another, another cracking bit of business. Looked solid defensively whenever he played last season. Edited August 9, 2016 by joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get to see too much of him last season due to injury, but if Carlos rates him having seen plenty of him in training, then I'm more than happy to see him return. We saw last season the effect that too many newcomers all thrown together at the start of a season can have, so the continuity of having a player who already knows the coaches, players, tactics etc... could be another major strength of this deal if it goes through.

I thought Pudil was excellent on Sunday. He didn't get much help on the wing as Abdi was often playing centrally and then it was Fernando on the wing. I'm more thN happy with Bennett though. Provides excellent competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from it; our defensive record has been good the past two seasons. Happy to keep that unit together. Would be pleased to see Bennett return.
