Spoke to a QPR fan last week ,they love Tim Iroegbunam.
And like clockwork, his excellent form & the education that others outside of Villa get about the players potential, coincides with media rumblings that other clubs are getting interested in him. One of those blog type websites apparently has him as a future replacement for Fabinho at Liverpool. It’s no wonder there is never any change in football. As soon as a club finds a decent player, everything is done in the media to convince the player that they NEED a change of clubs & one of the media favourites stockpiles the players, loans them out to a club that can’t compete with them & the cycle of boredom continues. I despise football. If it weren’t for Villa, I would have walked away years ago…

Great to see Kaine Kessler Hayden off the mark at last.

You mean a bit like how we poached him from West Brom?

Not really. I don’t recall media noise about us being interested in him. Or that he needed to move to a “bigger” club to further his career. I do remember us signing the player. But purely signing a player isn’t what I had the issue with. Which is why I have written the specific words I have written…

I wonder if we are going to be recalling the likes of Philogene-Bidace due to his loan now being pointless? Granted, he hasn’t covered himself in glory with his form, but the manager there is a bit clueless & Cardiff are terrible. Yet still, Philogene-Bidace is third choice winger behind the likes of Ojo & Harris. The loan is now utterly pointless, so best to recall & send out to another club. Preferably one that isn’t shit…

With us not having many wide players, JPB could be involved for us.

Not sure he is ready for Prem football tbh. His blistering speed & trickery on the ball count for nothing if he can’t find a consistent end product. He is a coin flip as to whether he makes it for me.

True, but could be one of those that just seizes the chance, and given we're lacking options it's worth looking at

Davis played like an absolute monster against Norwich but had to go off injured. Hamstring I think. He really was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. He was frustrated at times by the lack of quality & intelligence of his team-mates.

He's still made of glass and still doesn't score enough. Not sure if Watford have to take-up the option to buy him in June.

Iroegbunam played well for QPR against Sheff Utd. Passed the ball well, drove forward with the ball at times, mopped things up & closed down the opposition with pace & purpose. I have said it before, I rate the kid highly. The more I see of him, the more I like. Him, Kamara & Ramsey in our midfield could be dynamic, pacy, energetic, quality, etc, for years to come with their respective ages.

Aaron Ramsey recalled from Norwich so that he can do his rehab from the injury and operation he had in December,
