Jordan Lyden


Recommended Posts

Spoke to a few Villa fans -

 

Cracking signing if we experience Lyden pre injuries.  Box to box midfielder; predominantly a defensive midfielder breaking up opposition play but also loves taking ball forward creating chances.  Normally plays through middle but comfortable on the wing creating crosses and assists.  Scores goals too from midfield as well as free kicks.   In the mould of Steven Gerrard or Jack Wilshere but sounds like Jack Byrne during his loan albeit he tracks back to support defence and a leader on the pitch.

 

The lad is one of their best development squad players and captains the U23s.  Had it not been for his injuries and the likes of Grealish, Lansbury etc in midfield, Lyden would be in the first team by now.  Fans love him and the player that they want to progress into the first team.

 

Fortunately for us, the takeover at Villa and eyeing Prem football means the opportunities for Lyden will diminish so we may extend his loan beyond a January.  Hopefully remains fit as he’ll be brilliant fir us in midfield allowing Baxter and Gardner to go forward.

Bunn did sound annoyed but he’s only got himself to blame, he signed him knowing the risk, he’s spent the budget how he has (mostly decent btw).

 

worrying how he alluded to we can only really afford to do this kind of deal due to finances. The wage bill has been cut by over 50% and now being told we can only sign crocks basically.

Go on then, how much is the budget?
