Have Aston Villa management and coaches completely forgotten about Moussa Diaby? He was very valuable to the team when he was playing for us.
His speed, dribbling skills and - not least - ability to unlock tight defenses are sorely missed! Dribblers and "unlockers" have been missed in many matches. Similar players are working wonders for other teams!
Marco Asensio delivered great forward passing abilities and CL experience.

I liked Diaby and was sad when we sold him (especially as we basically broke even and hardly made anything out of him). However, I do remember reading back in Jan that Sunderland, and maybe another club (maybe Leeds?), were interested in Diaby, but then both baulked at his ridiculous wages.
I would imagine that would also restrict us from re-signing him somehow, unless he took some massive reduction. I wish, personally, we could have him back in place of Bailey/Garnacho.
