messi11 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I still think he should go out on loan, Hopefully we sign a new DM this window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I think we start to see him get minutes now to be honest, we are through a tough period of games and have a run of 6 games that are each winnable. I think he'd have played the FA Cup game had we not drawn United He'll have been sold the dream of getting first team minutes when signed. He was already on the brink of breaking into West Broms side already last year I'm not sure a loan cuts it. I think we'll see him get a few minutes between now and the end of the season and then maybe a loan next year if he doesn't give a good account of himself Edited January 17, 2022 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The times I've watched the U23's, I've been most impressed with Tim. He has that ability to always have time on the ball even in difficult situations and his passing is sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I know someone who is friends with Tim and he told me that this guy is really enjoying working for Steven Gerrard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the game Went to the game tonight and tbh I thought he had a bad game, especially first half. Gave the ball away numerous times and got booked.

TheLegendOfLeonBailey31 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Pretty pumped about TI's future. Love that he's getting a long look with the first team. Would be amazing if he was at least part of the solution for us at CDM in the next year+ as he continues to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Whilst we all love it when we spend big on ready made signings sometimes we have players just as good or better under our noses and they just need a chance to shine. Ramsey being a great example. Edited February 3, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad to think that Carney, Tim, Aaron R, KKH could all develop in training and on loan for another 2-3 years and still only be 21. If they’re not patient we’ll have a problem keeping them - imo.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 You could argue Leeds managed something similar before they imploded due to spending beyond their means. Easy to forget how many quality youngsters came through at the same time and they were a game away from a champions league final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Should add they don't all need to be guaranteed top quality PL starters of international quality What the youngsters need to do is put us in a position where the squad is strong enough so that during the summer we need to buy 1 x £70m player, not 4 or 5 which would dilute the value and quality, we put ourselves in a position where we don't spread the money thinly which so far as a PL team again is what we've had to do 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're Aston Villa, we're a massive club, and in case it hasn't escaped your notice we've got rich owners who are unique among football owners because they have ambition. Our manager also has excellent hair and as a result was voted sexiest manager in the PL very recently. (In all seriousness I think next season is going to be a really big season for us - if we aren't able to make a push for Europe then I think the wheels might start to fall off the project.)

The one great thing about football is to dream. With promotion and relegation it allows you to reach for the stars so to speak. That said i am completely with you on the youth. Its the first time ever i have paid as much attention to the youth as i do the first team. And rightly so because theres some real talent in our ranks . I think theres a good chance we will have a squad full of youth which will then allow us to spend heavier for certain positions. That will be the perfect blend !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 For me it's all about the youth. That's when it can really mean something. How did we all feel when the team was being built around Healgris? It felt like something truly special was finally happening. Speaking of such, the opposite of this feeling must be Man City, where a 100 million buck signing replaces another from the bench. I honestly find it practically meaningless that they win things, and in turn football feels meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Really excited about Tim. Think he's going to get on the pitch at some point in Feb or March before Nakamba comes back. Bet he's loving training with Gerrard and being part of little moves like this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
