I think it’s fair to say that most Aston Villa fans feel like Reading diddled us when we paid a reported £5million for midfielder Aaron Tshibola.

The now 23-year-old was brought in by Roberto Di Matteo back in the summer of 2016 and he’s achieved a grand total of ten appearances since, with one goal returned.

Having been farmed out to Nottingham Forest, MK Dons and now in his second spell with Kilmarnock, it looks like he’s finally begun refinding the form that attracted Robbie to him.

Former assistant gaffer Steve Clarke certainly seems to be getting the best out of him and he again took his opportunity to shine as Killie took an unexpected 2-1 victory over Celtic last weekend.

Definitely seems to have an extra spring in his step compared to the few performances we saw from him before he was summarily bombed out and forgotten about.

Social media can be a funny place at times and once I’d scanned through fans discussing how you actually pronounce his name properly, I finally found some reactions to his performance.

Great to see him doing so well in fairness, maybe he’ll get a proper crack if he returns next summer?
