Think tonight will have opened Maloney’s eyes a bit about some players.
Need a lot more creativity and bravery going forward
I maybe shouldn't have worded it as the richer club, Villa are owned by owners considerably wealthier than Uniteds and owners who have been splashing the cash. So money wouldn't be an issue. Its far fetched to me because there's never been any activity from United over the last 2 years of being linked every window, and Villa aren't in a situation where they'd need to accept an offer, so it would depend on how much is offered and if the club feel it's too good to turn down.
Yep.
A few players who were the cornerstones of Jack Ross’ side might need to be looking over their shoulders.
Doig, Newell, Nisbet for starters.
And as good a player as he is I thought Boyle was poor tonight and I struggle a bit to see where he fits into this team, what position he plays.

Maloney saying he’s happy with his squad and nothing will happen unless Boyle (or any others) leave.
Kevin Nisbet has to go. We can’t keep persisting with him in the team. He lacks effort, terrible attitude and doesn’t want to be here. I’d be convinced he gives the ball away more than he keeps it

Could James Mcarthy be that pivot player?

I know I know! He has been well backed so far though. As has been pointed out some will definitely leave which will hopefully give us some scope to sign another one or two.
It feels like we’ve got loads of central midfielders but none of them particularly standing out. JDH/Newell too similar, Hallberg and Gogic well out of the picture and Magennis nowhere near ready. I’d want another option for in there if we can get some of them out.
The thing for me with Nisbet is this isn’t a dip in form, he’s been like this since January 2021.
The first couple of months he was brilliant and since then he’s been pretty poor, granted he’s shown it on occasion but it’s few and far between.
He’s put on weight and his work rate is miles off what it was when he first joined, he was an absolute dog and constantly pressed defenders and chased every ball and made it good.
Now he’s shrugged off the ball with ease.
Well I hope maloney has seen enough of Wright, Scott, gogic, halberg etc to get rid of them to get others in
After all the transfer activity it was a bit disappointing to only catch a glimpse of one new player tonight.

We have far too many passangers in our squad especially for a side with our budget. I can see at least 3 maybe and hopefully more leaving the club before the window shuts. We need a massive clear out
