Philosopher Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Tim is classed as an under 21 player, homegrown under 21's don't need to be registered. Tim isn't classed as trained at Villa as he needs to be here more than 3 years. But he is homegrown as he has been trained in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim isn't classed as trained at Villa as he needs to be here more than 3 years. But he is homegrown as he has been trained in England. For the PL he is an eligible u21 player so doesn’t need to be registered. I don’t think being homegrown / not homegrown makes any difference for u21 players for PL. In Europe the rules are different in that there’s an A squad list and a B squad list. A squad is for any senior player and includes the squad and homegrown restrictions which have been talked about to death, both at club and association (country) level. The B squad is for u21 players but is restricted to players who have been at the club (actually at the club and not loaned out) for 2 years - which he does not qualify for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Sounds like he's part of Unai's plans judging from his comments today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we compare him to Duran there is no difference. Raw as hell but incredible natural attributes that can be allied to top class coaching. Its his balance and ability to turn on a 6 pence that is the differentiator with him. Frightened me from the first time i saw him. He could play back up to JJ this season before he gradually moves back to becoming a midfield monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying he is happy with our midfield and name-dropped everyone in there including Tim, qualifying that with "when he comes back from injury". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Any word on Tim? With his ball carrying ability and Tielemans/Donk not up to scratch there's a real opportunity here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit only a very small mention in the article. I reckon a few more weeks of training and he will be squad ready, assuming no more setbacks. Squad Update pre Brighton Álex Moreno and Tim Iroegbunam are making progress with their respective recoveries, but Emi Buendía and Tyrone Mings are long-term absentees. Unai Emery provided a fitness update at Friday’s pre-match media conference. “Of course, we’ve had injuries to Tyrone and Emiliano Buendía, then we’re having some more injuries and progressively they are coming back,” he said. “Tim is coming back and training with us.

Indigo Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Frustrating that the start of the season has been such a write-off for him, felt like the game tonight, Everton in the cup etc would have been great opportunities for him. Assuming this evening will be too soon for him to get any minutes, but encouraging that he's back in training all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well from what I've seen, he's decent at passing through the lines. Would be ideal to play over Dendoncker in some of these European group games we're expected to dominate, while still offering defensive qualities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
