Popular Post DCJonah Posted August 2 Popular Post Share Posted August 2 He's clearly one for the future. Serious lack of patience with some. This guy even said himself his aim this season is to get into the first team, he's not coming in to play loads of games this season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Needs to be loaned out, does not look ready at all for the Premier League or Champions League. Maybe send him to WBA with Lewis Dobbin so they can develop together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not exaggerate, he hasn't looked good so far but he has the pedigree to be useful already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s borderline whether to go out on loan or be in the squad this season. At the moment he’s squad but still time left in the window.

paul514 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I think this signing was weird but now that he is here, it's probably best he stays until at least january to settle in the area and get some coaching before talk of loans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one at WBA level is coming close to doing that. Edited August 6 by CarryOnVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I don't think there's any chance whatsoever he will go out on loan, not this transfer window anyway, people coming up with some strange ideas based on just a few friendly games, where he hasn't even been that bad. I couldn't call it who's going to make the biggest impact between him and Philogene, that's the kind of level he's at at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't call it who's going to make the biggest impact between him and Philogene, that's the kind of level he's at at My reasoning is not based on the friendlies but if we’ll have enough space in the squad if we do bring in any more players. We are busting squad size as it is and there seems to be reasonable expectation that there will be more incomings then it’s about who can be left out the squad and go out on loan and get valuable minutes. If there is space obviously best he stays around but it’s hard to see who would got out on loan instead of him in that space of the pitch if we have too many.

If took Rogers 6-8 competitive games to start looking like a real prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did sign a bloke from Juventus yesterday who played 16 games for them in his breakthrough season before a couple of seasons on loan - but I get the sentiment.

That does seem a requirement in King Unai’s squad. Probably why we were willing to let some fringe players go who were one dimensional and then replacement with other youngsters who can play multiple roles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple of season on loan makes the difference. The lad clearly didn’t improve, and possibly regressed Sammy, did all his Juve stuff last season. There’s time to progress or regress. hopefully progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad clearly didn’t improve, and possibly regressed In fairness, they did try him on loan to see if he'd develop - they just sold Illing-Junior. I'm hopeful he'll come good, he's not made a great impression so far and I think in some ways in terms of how much he gets to play, there isn't another player for whom these two remaining pre-season games are as important - if he doesn't make some impact in these two games, we might not see him again for a couple of months and whilst I don't think we'll loan him out, he might find himself playing a couple of U23 games just to keep himself sharp.

MaVilla Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 dont mean to be harsh, but he looks like a competition winner most of the time. All the new guys have at least looked decent at times, Iling-Jr just looks out of his depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a young player who is a bit raw and learning the ropes - because that's exactly what he is. We've seen some decent flashes from him this pre-season, as well as the areas of his game that he needs to work on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Reminds me of a younger (not as good) Milner. Seems so versatile and I could see him filling in some gaps throughout the season as players go down injured or are suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 11 Moderator Share Posted August 11 He's unfortunate in a way - he's flexible enough to play in two or three positions - unfortunately they're all the positions that we have three or four really good players in. I can't see how he makes matchday squads at the moment - he's not second choice in any of the positions he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
