With the passing of Jimmy Rimmer, I delayed my thoughts and opinions on Brian Madjo and his brilliant performance against PSG on Wednesday evening. Have you seen the size of this kid? He looks more than a full-blown bloke. Some have compared him to the Incredible Hulk. For me, he’s more like Thanos, beating up the Hulk and then beating up the PSG defenders for fun. We bought him from FC Metz for a reported £12 million. So far, he has scored five goals, four in pre-season friendlies and one in a competitive match against PSG. Not bad, eh? Villa produced a very good performance against PSG, and Madjo was one of the main reasons why. The PSG defenders found it extremely difficult to cope with his combination of strength, movement, and skill. Even without a consistent run of competitive matches behind him, the vultures already seem to be circling. I’ve seen various unofficial Liverpool accounts begging their club to pay whatever it takes to sign him, which tells you all you need to know about the potential people see in this young lad. Of course, potential is one thing and delivering it consistently is another. But if there is one manager you would trust to develop a player like Brian Madjo, it is Unai Emery. I wish Madjo all the best in his development. With Emery at the helm, Aston Villa is the perfect place for Thanos to be. UTV
