Samuel Iling Junior - now on loan at Middlesbrough

It is an interesting comment but I had wondered whether we would sell both Digne and Moreno.

I think selling both would be a bit rash. If one needs to go, I'd get rid of Moreno.

Seeing as we've brought two left-backs in, I would presume that will be the case?

Iling-Junior looks more of a winger to me. He's played wing-back, but I don't know that he's played as a left back. Obviously Emery likes to go with a left back that can operate as a winger but you've still got to play sides who will pin you back and put you under pressure for long spells.

[Smithy]

I don't know enough about him to know whether he's a defender who can also play on the wing, or a winger who can also play in defence, but either way, it's a useful option to have a player down that side comfortable doing both - especially for any tactical tweaks required during a game.  Let's hope he's equally adept in both positions!

Welcome to Villa!
I think the fact that he was willing to go and play abroad at such a young age speaks for his maturity and dedication, it’s a big step at that age.

Is it eye-ling or ill-ing?

Either way, exciting prospect. Please be ace.

I am very happy about this transfer.

As I mentioned before, he has pace, physicality, ability to run with the ball & a decent cross. He needs to work more on the defensive side of his game, especially if we are going to be using him at LWB, as his profile suggested on his welcome tweet, but either way, its more pace, energy, running, & crossing for that whole left hand side.

Its exciting not just for now, but with Ramsey being the oldest of all four players for that side, with Rogers, Maatsen, & Iling-Junior, its going to be exciting for years to come.

So I am delighted with this deal...

Eye-ling surely? Unless we’re all going to start spelling ill wrong.

Not a bad start to be fair mate!

I think we'd all just better stick with 'Sam' or this could get a bit Clarky
