Aaron Tshibola

[JUAN PABLO]

lets hope westwood and Gardner are sold

I would keep Tish

[BOB MANSFIELD]

i think tshibbo should stay and hone his craft and earn his money the hard way. i think he thought he'd made it when clark came in for him.

[Matt Collins]

It's Clarke

Unless you mean Clark

yes, of course it's Clarke, but i thought clark was Clarke until i was corrected and checked to find that clark is really Clarke.
well spotted.

I feel with  the 3 midfielders brought in- replacements/upgrades for tshibola,westwood,gardner. Tshibola most at risk  being moved or loaned out

On the contrary footy, Bruce has identified that our midfield is too slow and pedestrian, out of the 3 midfielders, Gardener, Westwood and Tshibola, he is the only one who can get about the place.

I contest that . He coast and hasn't got any drive or dynamism.  So I know what i saw look baxk when he last played and his continuous struggles . Westwood at least has some tactical nous tisbola is raw and only offers physicality and alleged pace due to his direct competitors of gards and Westy. So not be fooled by tshibola perceived athleticism the 3 new midfielders are championship ready tshibola isn't.  I conclude with the amount of midfielders here loan him out to mk dons , milwall or  Swindon or maybe Atlanta like Golinni

Think I am stating the obvious but Bruce doesn't rate him time to move on.  Fact of life

John Percy has just tweeted that Tish has joined Forest.

[Villafirst]

A loan deal surely? Forest have no money. And still Westwood prevails! Disappointed with this move.

[Clark W Griswold]

John Percy has just tweeted that Tish has joined Forest.

Good. If we're playing 4-4-2 then we can get shut of Westwood and Gardner as well.

[Toronto Villa]

Westwood will not only survive the purge he'll probably start against Brentford.

[Villafirst]

No, no far too early. Still young and very raw but bags of potential. Westwood or Gardner should be shipped out instead.

[Dante Lavelli]

He's better off playing every week on loan than sitting on the bench.  Arguably Westwood/gardner, whilst limited players, are more match ready than Tshibola too.  Let him do his leaning at another club's expense.

[SoccerHQ]

I think it was just too soon to move here, he really could've done with another season at Reading.

It was very much OTT hype about someone who'd barely played 20 games for Reading and yet he was expected to single-handly improve our midfield and drive us back to the prem? Unrealistic expectations.

Best he goes to play week in week out given we've signed two proven championship performers that we should've signed in the summer.

Brum Mail.

Aston Villa have agreed to let midfielder Aaron Tshibola join Championship rivals Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old arrived from Reading over the summer in a deal that cost the club £5million but he has fallen out of favour since Steve Bruce took charge.

Tshibola started Bruce’s first game in charge against Wolves but didn’t play again until the match with Cardiff City at the beginning of this month.

The ex-Royals man has paid the price of Bruce’s January spending. The manager has brought in three new midfielders in the form of Henri Lansbury, Birkir Bjarnason and Conor Hourihane, who will form the base of a new-look claret and blue engine room.

Tshibola’s only goal in claret and blue came during the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United back in September.
