Imagine thinking that he's chosen Villa over Arsenal. Fucking hell.

Imagine coming out with this when not one person in this topic thinks that. Fucking hell.

I did to be fair. But even so, its hardly an earth-shattering revelation . It's not as dramatic as is being made out.

Arsenal can still offer more wages so that is where you’d go, but Villa do still have Grealish, talented players elsewhere like Konsa, Martinez, Watkins and a better manager than Arteta in Dean Smith.

Good thing for Villa is Buendia isn’t as injury prone as Barkley

The talk is that Arsenal offered the same deal as Villa.  Buendia chose to sign with Villa, if talk about the offers being identical is true than he did pick Villa over Arsenal.

Buendia made his debut in Villa's annual pre-season friendly with lower division Walsall.

2 sublime through balls set up 2 goals for Ollie Watkins in a 4-0 Villa win.

I'd read everywhere he was a winger, but did seem to be playing CAM from very brief highlights I've seen.

Perhaps he'll be able to rotate around with Grealish?

I'd assume he'd been guaranteed a starting spot, with intent to build around him as a star man of an increasingly decent looking starting 11. Martinez. Mings. McGinn. Douglas Luiz. Grealish. Watkins. Rumours they're after Leon Bailey & may be open to offers for El Ghazi.

These new Villa owners really do seem to mean business.
