VillanousOne Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I hope he gets a chance this season and is an awesome player for him but ultimately our youth teams are not (at least on the surface) producing viable first team players anymore, which considering we are Championship is poor and something that needs sorting out as almost every team has home grown players. I am not saying the players we have in the youth teams at the moment won't make it just saying that Grealish aside, Green, Toner, Lyden and RHM are the only players to get close in recent years and none of them have really made it yet.

villa4europe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 trying to think what he actually wrote on twitter the other night but someone asked the dr and he responded with something along the lines of we're trying to sign him up, if he signs then he'll get a chance but if he wont commit to us then he wont keinan davies did sign a new contract so maybe he'll be around the 1st team instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it will have helped what is no doubt a serious negotiation. While we're talking about Rushian, I also wish he wasn't being used by some as a pawn in an anti-Gabby campaign. He needs to be evaluated on his own merits, not on the basis that he would be less useless than another player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it will have helped what is no doubt a serious negotiation. I think the absolute opposite. It showed that he's highly thought of by our ridiculously busy, billionaire owner. When I was an 18 year old lad I had respect for those who had been there and done it, I valued their opinion and if they demonstrated that they valued me it gave me a massive gee up. Some people are hypersensitive to this stuff I know, but don't forget who the boss is here. It's Tony Xia, not RHM or any other player. The days of the players holding the power at Villa Park are over. If any of them can't get with that, then they're out. We may lose a few along the way, but it's worth it for the complete culture change. Aston Villa are trend setters once again. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Can't link from Facebook, but apparently Bruce has said if he signs he'll get a chance with te first team in Afcon.

Not according to Bruce's interview today, https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2016/12/23/press-conference-pre-burton On Rushian Hepburn-Murphy…. We need him to commit because he’s a big talent. If he does commit to the club then he will come right into contention because of what he has done with the U23s. He’s been here since he was eight years old and I’m sure this is the right place for him. He is a Villa fan, as are his family so we hope to get it over the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick scroll on his twitter and couldn't find anything Liverpool related on a search. However he definitely did have some pro Liverpool tweets, and i remember a villa fan querying it and he said he supported them. Probably a similar situation to Gabby to be honest. We all know him as a supposed Villa fan now but he was Arsenal as a kid. Not that any of this actually matters but it's nice to know when they are one of us like Grealish. Hopefully Rushian has seen the light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 He's outstanding and we need to sign him up fairly soon, I hope it is on the board's to do list.

Daniel Sturridge is a family friend, so it's likely got something to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think they would they do that? I don't really get the RHM cult thing myself. Not a knock on anyone here, but he's not half as highly rated as many of the youngsters who have failed here.

Phumfeinz Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 What we need to do is roll out the red carpet for him to the middle of the pitch, where Tony Xia is waiting down on one knee with a golden pen and diamond studded clipboard just waiting for Murph to sign on that dotted line. Fireworks and a laser show blast out as he does it, confetti raining down on Villa Park as the red arrows fly overheard to the tune of don't look back in anger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
