Samuel Iling Junior - now on loan at Sandwell Town

[cdbearsfan]

I'd rather sign Williams. Recall him and loan him out to someone who will play him.

[SaddVillan]

According to sky italia we will be recalling him due to lack of game time at bologna

Personally i would  keep him around we could do with another option. He offers something  different  to what we currently have. But i bet we re loan him out again

From The Athletic:

Aston Villa are considering recalling Samuel Iling-Junior from his season-long loan at Bologna.

Villa are expected to make a decision next week amid a concern over the 21-year-old’s lack of minutes during his loan spell.

Iling-Junior joined Bologna in the summer but has made just 12 appearances in all competitions and is yet to start a Serie A match.

He has started just three matches in all competitions for Bologna and has been restricted to five substitute appearances in Serie A.

Barrenechea,  signed in the same deal, has had a more productive spell on loan at Valencia this season to aid his development, with nine of his 12 La Liga appearances coming as a starter, and Villa are hoping for similar for Iling-Junior.

Thanks SV

[cdbearsfan]

Thanks, Samuel. Grazie Rossoblù! That could be a massive goal for us, you never know...

[Footy-Vill]

He's very suited to Italy but I do think he be a nice addition next season.
Alas I guess he'll be sold for PSR purposes won't be?

SAMUEL ILING-JUNIOR IS SET TO JOIN MIDDLESBROUGH AFTER BEING RECALLED FROM HIS SEASON-LONG LOAN AT BOLOGNA

Aston Villa have made the decision to end his spell in Serie A due to concerns over a lack of game-time.

The English winger will now move to the Championship club for the remainder of the season.

Iling-Junior joined Bologna in the summer but made just 16 appearances in all competitions and did not start a Serie A match.

The Athletic reported in November that Villa would be making a judgement on all their players out on loan, with the club already recalling forward Louie Barry from his loan spell at Stockport County to send him to Hull City.

Villa signed Iling-Junior from Juventus in July alongside Enzo Barrenechea for a combined fee of €22million, with both players agreeing five-year deals. In a separate deal between the clubs, Juventus signed midfielder Douglas Luiz from Villa for €50m.

Iling-Junior joined Juventus from Chelsea’s academy in 2020 and made 45 first-team appearances after making his debut in 2022. Last season, the winger played 27 times for Juventus, scoring once, and also featured regularly for the England Under-21s.

Villa have had a busy January adding Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund while they are close to agreeing a deal to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United.

[Dante Lavelli]

Who? Where?

[AV84]

He was on the bench for Bologna today, so he's still there.

[PeterWithe]

Thats a bit of a drop from Juventus and Bologna in the CL to Boro.

[OCD]

He should start games for Boro rather than making cameo appearances from the bench.

Let’s hope so

Came on as a sub for Finn Azaz. Bit of extra Villa link there

[FatSam]

You wonder about the quality of Serie A when Juventus are signing Lloyd Kelly from Newcastle.

Did he sing or was he on the drums?
