I'd be interested to hear other poster's views on this I can't really see Bruce admitting we made such a huge cock up over Johnstone that we go for a youth player. We're stuck with him or Bunn.

HanoiVillan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If this guy comes in, he makes a mistake, and then the fans are on his back. We don't need a 3rd inexperienced kid in nets, we need someone who isn't overawed. It's Bunn who should be starting, limited and basically shit though he no doubt is.

sir_gary_cahill Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Have people seen him play before saying these comments? He's an outstanding young keeper I think, he really is brilliant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then being shunted into the first team would ruin him right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the potential to be better than him, I think he wouldn't have been on the bench recently if he wasn't trusted within the upper echelons of the football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If johnstone has another mare in the next match then he needs dropping . Bunn is terrible so why not give this guy a chance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Could give him a go on the last day of the season when nothing is riding on it. Other than that its far too early for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Isn't the Johansson kid better? Always seems to be infront of Sarkic in the under 23s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If he was ready we'd have loaned him out to a league 1/2 team for rest of season. Would imagine that will happen next season. He won't be playing for us anytime soon, he's only 18 isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 He's signed a new 3 year contract, it's on the OS, he's outstanding in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 3, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2017 Fair play to him. I do think he needs to go out on loan next though. Johansson starts most U23 games and Emmanuel Idem is even more highly rated than both of them by some accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I assume we signed Johansson a while back so he's probably down the development road a little more than Sarkic who's been here 18 months. I wouldn't rule him out making it though. Balkan players have tremendous will to make things of their careers given what they've been through in their upbringings although Sarkic wouldn't have experienced as much of that as the Serbs and Croats did coming through in the 90s. They really live for Football though. Edited April 3, 2017 by VillaChris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not very topical but I was just on the OS and did not realise he was a real life time traveler. Quote Young goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has joined Wigan Athletic on loan. Sarkic will link up with the Latics until January 2008 in a five-month deal. The 20-year-old arrived at Villa Park from Anderlecht in the summer of 2015. He came through the youth system at the Belgian club - which oversaw the development of Vincent Kompany and Romelu Lukaku. Sarkic has been a mainstay of the U23 side this term in victories over West Brom and Fulham and a tight defeat to Stoke. Good luck Matija. Shows how many people read the OS too I suppose! https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/08/29/sarkic-joins-wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
