Thorn should not have said a word last week then. His words were an experienced players is coming in early next week.
Never happened. Why say it?
Any new player coming in is a lift! As mentioned he has experience at England under 21, so that puts him slightly above our Youth side. To be fair a villa England under 21 reserve, is still better than the likes of Jeffries etc IMO.
We have to get what we can. Can't understand people slating Thorn......what do you expect? "AT, he's shit i wanted an old experienced Pro" lol
</p>Didn't fans say the same when Wise came in?
<p></p>
<p> </p>
because, obviously, Michael Brown is exactly like Dennis Wise... Sheesh!
I'll give you a reality check mate.
We already have the youngest side in the league. We are desperate for a experience player. Thorn last week said that experience player will be here early next week.
We end up with a unproven 'prospect' with no experience. Bigi can do a similar role if given the chance. By all accounts were holding back Bigi going forward more, he had skill, pace and a great shot on him.
Why help nurture villa players when we have similar anyway?
Is Thorn having a laugh? We have the best academy in the country yet he's bring in a teenager from another club.
Sorry but this is a joke.
Personally I welcome the fact that we are getting someone in and likely to retain Juke for now. If the young lad does come good luck to him and it is some welcome positive news !
I do query how the loan signing matches up to AT's statements about not needing more young players and needing an experienced player instead. Given the state we are in it must be hard to get players to come but this loan signing is a complete U turn on what he said he needed. Sorry but it points to me to more lack of clarity in the managers thoughts

This fella is much better than what we've got at the minute. He looked very good playing for England the other week. We can't afford experience and they won't come here!

If he's as good as there making out then he'd be on the bench at Villa or least have played a handful of games. He won't be match fit, weve only got him for a month. If it was a season long loan id be more confident.We couldn't afford an experienced player, surely that much is obvious?! Gardner was mentioned by Pearce in an interview just the other week along with Amoeobi. He said it was very frustrating that they aren't getting games. So we can kinda thank him to some extent that this happened.
What has Bigi suddenly turned into a 6ft 2 physical goal scoring box-to-box midfielder?
Has been given the chance to prove it? No. You speak to anyone in the academy and they'll tell you Bigi is a threat going forward. He's wasted playing deep. I'd much rather give our own a chance rather then some player who has played 45 mins for the U21's
He played 45mins football for U21. Can't judge too much on half a game mate. I know what you mean but just annoys me that Thorn came out last week in the media and said an experienced player will sign early next week. Why say it? If he had kept his mouth shut I wouldn't be bothered. To me he's telling us things we wanted to hear rather then the truth.
there are a couple of villa fans at my work and they also think he should be in the first team, this is an exciting signing for us!you have him till the 3rd of January...
And i bet that he scores at least 6 goals in his time there..
