I was a few years younger than his old man but remember him as a young boxer on the amateur scene back in the day with his brother Paul. I used to go over to the Small Heath gym every now and then with a couple of lads from my gym and train and spar. Had several fights against their lads during my youth including a fight at the Austin Exhibition Centre in front of the Villa players on a bow tie evening when Deadly ran the club. Ah the days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very soft spoken, respectful, but carries his swagger and confidence on the pitch. Obviously loves the club, the type of character you have more faith in to stay loyal.

useless Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The second one is Arsenal forward Balogun, he was less impressive than Archer in the Championship, would be surprised if he's close the senior squad, I guess he is though, maybe shows England have a lack of striking talent at the moment, especially in terms of young players, which makes it all the more puzzling why Archer has had to wait until now to get a U21 chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he hasn't come through the system i reckon. Its up to Cam to make the most of his chance with the closed doors that is Southgates England regime. So wrong because players mature at different ages but at least we can see with Bowen that there is an opportunity for good players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Balogun played vs Brentford at the start of the season and looked way off the pace, years off it, didn't see him play for boro but his stats are poor, have seen him a few times for the u21s and he scored a couple of goals but in general his decision making wasnt very good, at times too greedy, didn't see passes Said in here I think at the time with the c&b specs on Ramsey was the only u21 player that I'd trust to always make the right pass, you could see that he'd played more PL football than the rest of them The white guy in the photos is the man City CB, he'll never kick a ball for them but I'm sure he is highly rated, spent last year at Stoke, Ben White hasn't been replaced so having a look at him makes sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Don't think it means they're near getting in the senior squad just because they're training with them. Had to be picked from the U21s, as Watkins and Nketiah to name two are surely far ahead of Balogun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be trying to keep him away from the US. There's been a lot of talk of him switching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll savage him and say he's talking shit. The sort of wanky "Ohh, he's still learning how we want to play...this group is so special and the little players at Villa don't understand what we're creating" **** prick. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different personalities. I reckon Southgate will have a lot more time for Ramsey than he did for Grealish. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balogun I think can also play for USA so maybe the FA are trying to cap him early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
