Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Has some interesting tools but absolute liability.
Needs a loan with regular game time next season.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
First start since Sept, been injured, young lad learning his trade. Might not be pulling up trees but a bit early to be dismissing him fully

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
I don't mind him. Seems like he's quite a talented lad. Like his dribbling. Do think he's probably more a late sub at the moment. Him coming on against West ham helped get us on the front foot and back into the game
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
If Mangala hadn't fallen apart and Garner wasn't a ghost then he'd be nowhere near starting.
Next season he'll hopefully revert to 4th choice for me.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Plenty to work with just his awareness of what’s around him and the pace of the game is what he needs to work on
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Never been convinced he has what it takes for this level. Athletic, good engine, but hasn't got the football IQ for the PL.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Yeah, he's 21 now, it's not like he's young and there's a chance of developing him any further.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Some players have it, some don't. We wouldn't have bought him had it not been for a PSR fudge and although he's better than Dobbin he's still miles off being a premier league player.
Technique isn't great, but as someone else said above his general footballing IQ seems quite low. Can be busy and has a good engine but the rest suggests a fairly low ceiling.
I'll eat my hat if he makes it as a regular starter here.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Just daft to write him off or say you expected more from this signing.
It is what it is. There’s a decent amount of talent there to work with so the hope is we can send him on loan next season and go from there.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
It's just an opinion, I predict he won't be good enough, nothing wrong with that.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
We only bought him for PSR reasons and that was offset by what we got for Dobbin. Whatever you do think of Tim, he's clearly got a higher ceiling than Dobbin.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
I have a Villa mate who thinks he’s talented and gutted he left. I thought he had a lot of good attributes but his lack of awareness has tempered my initial hope.

Bring Armstrong in for next season. Loan Timmy out to Derby or some championship side.

Sitting on the bench getting 10mins here or there won’t help either of them
