Tiago Ilori (update 2017 - signs for Reading)

[in exile]

Don't forget he was injured for a long amount of the time he was with us

I don't always believe this injured business
every week on os gabby is suffering with something or other!
strikes me sometimes as a bit of a smokescreen

I thought he came to us injured

Clearly his fitness is the issue then. Looked like he has potential but you can see why he was not played if he struggles to make 75 minutes.

That's it support our Management who've amassed the grand total of 8 points - why is it people have to support shit Management? ?

He looks world class and I can't understand how somebody playing in a defence that has managed to keep Exeter City down to two goals before being subbed because he's knackered after 70 minutes wasn't given a chance at Villa.

This.

It's quite clear that Ilori was simply filling a shirt last night. I can't see him ever figuring in a league fixture for 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'.

According to the Beeb, he has signed for Reading, after never making a first team appearance for Liverpool. So it looks like we will be seeing him at VP, but not in a Villa shirt.

Sure he played in the cup for Liverpool last season after we sent him back.  Waste of time though, he was.

I wonder how  much money he has made of the game by not actually playing in it?

I bet there are loads like him also - the game is mental

Thought we'd re-signed him when I saw the thread.

[cdbearsfan]

Me too.

[cdbearsfan]

Hang on I think I started this thread so should be able to change it.

[Villa Lew]

My fault didn't change the heading, sorry about the confusion.

[Pete3206]

Who?

[Rotterdam]

For me, this fella some up football; totally financially driven.

Err, how have you come to that conclusion?

[PeterWithesShin]

He's gone on loan 3 times and now looks like signing for a Division 2 club. Doesn't strike me as someone that just wants to sit around picking up the cash, more like someone that hasn't been good enough to play much.
