Aaron Tshibola

[Clark W Griswold]

I still think it's more attitude than ability that's his problem.

Same here. Obviously I don't know him personally but I just get a hunch that he's a right knob.

[Risso]

Small example of reactions from MK fans (taken from the Express):

“One of the worst players I have seen, genuinely was terrible. Was so excited to get him now I'm so glad he's gone.

“Thanks for having him back lads.”

“So glad he's gone. To think he cost the same amount of money as Dele Alli is f****** laughable.”

[Comrade Blitz]

To lump them all together:

you either really love football and will work very hard to play the game at the highest level you can as often as you can

or

you just want to make a lot of money and bum-tweet pics of flash motors

£5m plus £12m plus £9m equals £26m plus Gabriel plus Micah = FFP fine and embargo.

Agree.  His attitude must be absolutely stinking considering what has happened over the last year.

Complete waster. Get rid

[eamonn]

This guy is a man of God, why has he forsaken us?

[cheltenhamlion]

On a slight tangent, I see that the similarly aged Ollie Watkins who I was touting as a signing for us in the summer is scoring a few at Brentford.

Agree Stuart.  Watkins was a no brainer.  If ever I write my Villa memoirs, the story of Tshibola being sent from the Villa team bus at Cambridge United with the returned tickets and the monumental strop he was in will have to feature.  I think Tshibola and the Villa got off on the wrong foot big time.

I remember the tale, Brian. We could have got in on Watkins like Spurs did with Dele Ali.

Maybe he was watched by bigger clubs than Brentford and they wasn't convinced. It's hard to comment too much because I've not seen a lot of him but it'll be interesting to see how he progresses because he did score a few for Exeter.

[brian green]

Regarding Watkins plenty of us spotted him.  My daughter's election agent is one of the "elders" of Exeter having supported them with share purchases over the years.  I ventured to suggest he should do the right thing and direct him our way.  I was slapped down in no uncertain fashion.  If you don't ask you don't get.

And if we were recruiting in the MON period I would have said "buy him and see how it goes" like we did with Delph. In this league, and with limited fund's because of FFP, it was a no brainer to my mind.

He's the sort of player I'd have liked to see us go for instead of Lansbury and Bjarnason as squad filler (not that they were intended to be that).
