+x+x+xTilio is bang average...sorry.
You've obviously got no idea or don't watch the a league. He had a great season & deserves to be playing in Europe.
Hmmm maybe lets see how he goes (if he ever gets any match time that is) before the whole "deserves to be playing in Europe" bit.
Personally I dont rate the kid at all, but admittedly only every seen him in a few national team games and the Aleague grand final... Olyroos apart from one goal (on debut I think?) and Socceroos I would say pretty weak in making meaningful space for himself.... A bit small physically and doesnt seem to handle the physical argy bargy well which would put him at a disadvantage in Scotland... Arzani was the same (in my eyes anyway) In the Aleague grand final I didn't even notice him playing, the young fullback, can't remember his name, had him in his pocket the whole match.
Nobody "deserves" to be playing in Europe, they need to prove they can cope... He should have gone to a less physical, slower league ... again just an opinion.
You have to DOMINATE the A-league to deserve European football.
I think some people overrate flashes of form in the A-league and automatically translate that to a worthy move to Europe.
99% of European players in the top 25 leagues are better than Australians.
You literally have to be in the 99th percentile as an Aussie to really make it in Europe. Tilio is nowhere near that.
One could make a case that a league like the K or J-league might be better suited, but then the majority of their home-grown players are better than Tilio so what's the point.
Tilio is just an average player. He's middle of the bell curve in just about every department in a fairly low-grade league.
