itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 looks like he can dominate physically, which we need. we have been far too lightweight in recent years He can also play too. I'll take either scenario, though I'd lean toward some brute physicality in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybofalbion Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 He looked excellent this evening. Bossed the midfield when he was on. A couple of mis placed passes could do with being cut out but nonetheless really impressed with this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Been very impressive so far. Breaks up play well, keeps hold of the ball. Very mobile, strong. His passing game will improve over time. It will be intresting to follow his development. Have a feeling we'll see him future quite a lot this season if he keeps up the preformances. Been our standout central midfielder so far.

Tippers Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ignorance alert. Must confess I know nothing about him. How long has he been at Villa? Is he a local lad? Impressed me tonight, definitely one to keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thought he looked very good tonight. A little off with his passing at times but other than that looked very assured in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 I haven't seen him at all so I'm liking these posts I look forward to seeing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Encouraging stuff - sounds like a big unit, not terribly skilled but dominant in midfield. Good, we need some presence. Especially if somebody like Westwood is there as he's easily bullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 He was part of the team that won the Next GEN Series with Grealish and Robinson. He has played LB for the U21 also. looks like he can dominate physically, which we need. we have been far too lightweight in recent years He can also play too. I'll take either scenario, though I'd lean toward some brute physicality in midfield. He can do both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Ignorance alert. Must confess I know nothing about him. How long has he been at Villa? Is he a local lad? Impressed me tonight, definitely one to keep an eye on. He's been at Villa since he was about 8 I think, he's coming on well and yes, he's a local lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 He looked good in preseason. Hopefully he does well there and gives himself a chance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time that happened on VT? There's always one: Journeyman for me, couldn't cross the road.
