rodders0223 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 My favourite memory is the Villa 2 Blues 0. Not the Hourihane goal or the Adomah. It was watching Jedi over and over again clear out every Blues player and win everything serially. Over and over and over and over again. It was majestic. I am not sure how repelling long balls with your head could be majestic...but he did it that day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks after the kids that we've sent out on loan to make sure that their training and performances are still decent etc could mean that we intend to send out more next season, putting the infrastructure in place now Or he has a full time job shouting at Ross Barkley for playing shit? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hope giving Ross a kick in the arse is part of the remit, but I suspect it's just your first bit. It does suggest an expansion of outward loans, which makes sense given the rate at which the reserve side is churning out genuine talent now which will soon outgrow the PL2 competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, could be someone who finds the best clubs for these loan players but mainly looks after them when they are there. It's inportant role in my opinion and having a genuine model professional in the role will hopefully provide these youngsters with someone to look up to and admire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the fact this is a brand new role suggests we may be doing more loaning out than we have previously, and it coincides with the increased investment in the junior side that we've seen in the last year.
