Taylor Harwood-Bellis and the Close of Villa’s Transfer Window
With the transfer window shut and 10 new Aston Villa summer signings now on the books, this week’s main show of the My Old Man Said podcast turns its attention to one man in particular: Taylor Harwood-Bellis. The centre-back needs to be at least quietly competent rather than spectacular if this Villa summer rebuild is going to hold together. The show works through his winding route to Villa Park: loan spells, a relegation at Southampton, an England call-up earned along the way, and the awkward parts of his reputation.
Villa News covers deadline day itself, including Leon Bailey’s move to Olympiacos finally getting the wages off the books, and the Three Points segment takes in UEFA’s new Champions League debut-patch trading cards, a Lazio supporter boycott, and the yearly tradition of playing football in a Gloucestershire river.
Mauled by the Tigers?
The show closes by looking ahead to the trip to Hull City and the aim of trying to avoid being mauled by the tigers, who currently sit third in the Premier League. Certainly it will be a good chance to gage the level of Zion Suzuki, as the rest of the new signings take their time to be introduced into the Villa squad.
