Brian Madjo

[Tuscans]

Official

Aston Villa can confirm that the club’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding the registration of Brian Madjo has been upheld.

17-year-old Madjo signed for the club from Metz in January. Born in Enfield, London and a UK citizen, he left England at a young age and was raised in Luxembourg but has been unable to play due to FIFA‘s rules on the international transfer of minors.

The striker has scored four goals in pre-season so far, including two in the opening friendly fixture against Walsall.

The court’s decision today means that Brian will be registered as an Aston Villa player and eligible to play in official competition matches for the forthcoming season.

Fantastic news, he’s going to be an absolute beast this season

[Somniloquism]

Great news. I hope he gets chances this season in the league.

What does the club do now ?
Develop him at the club or let him out on loan to gain minutes and experience?

If Arsenal and Liverpool can give significant minutes to the likes of Dowman and Ngomoha then there's no reason Brian shouldn't be getting 10-15 minutes at the end of most games.

They wanted to play him last season.

Great news
So much for those who thought/convinced we were wasting our time

[Dogtanian]

Infantino has to go!

Great news. I look forward to him bulldozing his way through defences throughout the season. There’s an article on the Beeb where various hacks are listing young players at each club that we should be keeping an eye on this season. Nick Mashiter covered us, he put forward Hemming, no mention of Madjo the ManU loving twat he is. I reckon by Christmas he’ll be hawking him to ManU ‘cos that’s what they do.
