I've just been told that he's half Welsh, so it's actually lling-Junior. The first lower case 'l' is a a mistake that arises from his inability to form proper nouns correctly.

He will be a good signing.

That's where I am, Daz. Saw some Italian talking about him yesterday highlighting his incredible mental strength, so add that to his technical level, it's more about Unai deciding where's the best position to play him and convincing him it's in his best interests. Left wing back could see him own the Villa and England shirt for a decade. Supported in front by Ramsey and/or Rogers, the future is bright.

Ha! I read it as Lling, your Jwnir spelling is excellent tho' Risso.

I came out of the snooker club and there was my bike, missing.

Oh, that England left back spot is definitely ours now I'd say.

- Samuel Iling-Junior
- Ben Chrisene
- Travis Patterson
- Lino Sousa

I reckon we've got the England U21, U20, U19 and U18 left backs there.

That podcast saying he's Traore levels of explosive fast sounds very promising. Recovery pace to help out the rare ocassions the backline is breached or when sides want to knock quick and long diagonals to try and expose us. Equally, with JJ or Big Rog, that's a pretty ferocious left hand side attack wise. All that pace and power ready to be harnessed and developed.

Yeah, that's exciting. I can actually seeing Morgan being played more centrally though, as I think he's got brilliant balance and powerful running.

Rogers might become the Watkins understudy once Duran goes.

The CL game the fella was referring to where Junior came on as sub and nearly changed the game with Juventus 4-1 down was away at Benfica. Enjoy a taster of what's to come next season!

I firmly believe Rogers will become a striker in the long term but more of a complete player than a typical 9. There's a lot about him that makes me think he'll need the same focusing that Watkins did to really make the most of his ability.

As for I-J I have him as playing further forward exactly because of his pace and the option to draw teams on and then go over the top to him, bailey, Watkins and diaby who are all very quick at those breaks.
