dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 OS reports that he can play anywhere across the back line. Right back maybe? Being rapid and good on the ball, allegedly. Rather excited if true! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 He did well on loan at Bordeux last season. Don't understand the logic unless he can cover somewhere like left back or somewhere in midfield. Even then we have plenty of numbers. Only thing I can say is maybe Okore's knees are more knackered than being let on otherwise we have for CB now: Richards Lescott Okore Clark Tiago Crespo Senderos We must be playing 3-5-2 at some stage this season.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks. For reference, I don't count Sky as the OS, but cheers. Welcome! I was referring to this... http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4973555,00.html Aston Villa can confirm Tiago Ilori has signed on a season-long loan from Liverpool. The 22-year-old put pen to paper on the contract in the final moments of deadline day. The former Sporting Lisbon defender - who can play anywhere across the backline - has enjoyed loan spells at Spanish La Liga side Granada and French Ligue One outfit Bordeaux over the past two seasons. Born in London, Ilori has represented Portugal at U18, U19, U20 and U21 level. Boss Tim Sherwood said: "I am very pleased to bring Tiago into the football club. "He's someone I have been aware of for some time and I am looking forward to working with him. "He's a young guy who I believe will enhance the group here." As posted by sexbelowsound above.

Pilchard Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looking at our squad we've only got three weaknesses - keeper, striker or right back. Realistically, there's only one position he's going to play out of that lot. Interesting signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khizzy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was thinking he would play right back because of his immense pace (that my friend keeps mentioning to me) - but he's 6'3", not saying there's anything wrong with that but Sherwood has a good dilemma on his hands now. Wonder how Clark will react to this if he loses his place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, there's only one position he's going to play out of that lot. Interesting signing. We only have RB issues when Bacuna plays there. Hutton is good & Crespo is untested.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 He's not going to go on loan to sit on the bench, not when Liverpool have such under pressure defenders and he would fancy his chances at breaking in at last there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 There has always been a question mark over the chances of Richards remaining injury free. Lescott too is no spring chicken and could easily be out as well. I see no problem at all with this signing and could well be the replacement for Lescott in 12 months time. Would doubt Okore is off Sherwoods "favourites" list-He spoke very highly of him last season for "taking one for the team" when playing whilst injured.
