dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Gone are the days when our academy produced a big pile of steaming hot nothing for nigh on a decade, aside from the one player who couldn’t miss. And we nearly **** it with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously its ifs and buts but Clark, Bannan, Albrighton, Weimann etc have had pretty good careers but if we had better management and senior players around them they might have developed better 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I'm trying to think of a past Villa midfielder who compare to JJ. Closest I can think of is Mortimer. If he has half the success of our once, revered captain, I'll be delighted. Surely Mortimer has to be in the top ten midfielders never to get an England cap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 The most exciting thing about Ramsey is what he COULD become. I remember him coming over to the fans at the Brighton match after we beat them away from home and he took his shirt off and threw it into the crowd. I may have been the only one thinking it, but his physique and frame is so impressive. The kid is a f***** monster of an athlete and with a dad who was a boxer, there are absolutely no concerns there! He has all the tools to become a very good player for us. He can pass, dribble, shoot, score and his tackling is very good too. It’s going to be seriously fun seeing how good this guy turns out. It’s also worth remembering Aaron was supposed to be the better player and everytime I’ve watched Aaron, I’ve been mightily impressed. I would love it if he broke through too in the next couple of years. Ramsey is a future captain for us, no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played more central and has dictated things for us. This kid has so much potential. Could be the mainstay of our midfield for years to come.

Seems like that’s now maybe changing. I often wonder if the likes of Kevin MacDonald etc were the problem, the old guard from previous era’s who didn’t know what it meant to be a 21st century PL footballer - the accusations of bullying suggest he was rather old hat - but seems like we’ve now refreshed things behind the scenes and are trying to operate the academy in an elite and modern way, I can only see it continuing to be a success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did highlight the wrong players stats on the dribbling page, but that video demonstrates just how good he is. Being two footed is such a bonus for him. Still amazes me how many professional footballers aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 He’s been quiet in the first half for England u21s, he has had England’s 2 best chances but in general play, he hasn’t gotten on the ball that much.

useless Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Archer getting all the attention because of his goals, and he's well deserving of his praise, but I thought Ramsey has been comfortably England U21's best performer over these last four games, as far as I'm concerned he should be with the senior squad, England's best box-to-box midfielder other than Bellingham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
