That would be class.

Ta Bi looks like he has ridiculous skills and acceleration from his short time on the pitch. How he can work in RLB's system will be key, with the defensive work and tactical organisation.
his close control surprised me so much, i expected the usual raw young player with a loose touch. Couldn't be any more the opposite. Still raw in terms of his decision making and might be a tad too attacking for his own good but I'm looking forward to see him get some minutes in these next couple
 
Cheeky bid for Harvey Elliott this summer? Hes wasted a whole year at villa

They're obligated to pay £35m for him and he's barely been picked for them this season, I rate him but not anywhere near that sort of fee, Villa would have to be willing to make a big loss on him for it to be worth it.

edit:::

Looks like the obligation-to-buy is dependent on appearances which he has no doubt not reached, so will likely go back to Liverpool.

I read it was part of the reason he soon was pushed out.
 
I keep reading about the “home grown quota “ is this required by regulations

Each club’s squad must contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be "Home Grown".

What is a 'Home Grown Player'?

A "Home Grown Player" means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).

A club’s Under-21 players are not included on the 25-man squad lists. These players are also eligible to play in the Premier League.

It’ll definitely be a consideration for us. Mundle may leave for example, 09 possibly.
