Samuel Iling Junior - now on loan at Middlesbrough

[Demitri_C]

If he plays on the right would ahve been a handy option now baileys injured

[Demitri_C]

Only got 11 minutes yesterday. Would have been good if he started to see how he would have done

Interview with him on Sky Sports. Sounds comfortable with the loan and his future prospects at Villa.

Yeah that was a good read. Sounds like he is not just going to be loaned then sold next summer.

I found it interesting that he is close mates with bellingham and rogers too

Don't think that was ever likely, was it?

This may have been answered before but can he play tomorrow?

He can, assuming he's fit.

Due to no rule currently being in place from UEFA, Iling-Junior is free to face his parent club when the two sides meet in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Philippe Coutinho, who is still on the books at Villa, famously netted a quick-fire double for Bayern Munich against Barcelona after being allowed to leave on loan by the Spanish giants in 2020.

His celebrations on the evening were muted and Iling-Junior has promised to do the same if he does score on Tuesday, although he is primarily viewing it as an opportunity to showcase his talents to the fans.

"Definitely not," he said regarding a potential celebration with a wry smile. "Maybe a little bit but I won't overdo it!

"It will be a good opportunity to show the fans what I can do and hopefully I get a warm welcome."

Not sure we have sold fringe players in the past e.g timmy kellyman etc before

Guess pends how he develops on his loan. Just hope he has a stinker tomorrow!

Tim was sold because he's not good enough and Kellyman had to be sold for FFP so as long as we're in a better financial position and he looks good enough to improve the team he'll stick around. He'll be extra motivated tomorrow you'd imagine and in front of Emery

Does seem a bit ridiculous that Sam can play against us. 

[PaulWinch again]

Looked quite lively when he came on.

Great run and cross, our players were very happy to see him at the end was well which was nice to see

[Anthenagin]

Really good article in The Athletic, which hopefully I’ve used Archiver correctly with: https://archive.ph/T03us

Agreed. In fact, Bologna might have introduced him earlier to thwart Maatsen on their right.

[Demitri_C]

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
