He is entering an age where he needs to start playing week in week out if not his development could quickly stagnate. Because of the options we have up front it will be difficult for him to make it at Villa. If he keeps going the way he is he will get his chances. Ings and Watkins will get injuries as well. If he can perform against a side as good as Chelsea I'm not worried about him playing at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Everyone saying he wont play ahead of the other 2 but imagine trusting on both to stay fit all season. Ings was getting niggles a few times last season, Archer is perfect for an option on all our PL benches this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the little i remember of Archer in the academy he was really short so all of his game relied on pace. Seems to be a bit taller and stockier now . Which is helping him with all aspects of his game. Dean Smith wants to improve players. Having him to work with as he goes through this jump in ability this season might be the making of him. He never pulled up trees at Solihull last season so a loan doesnt seem on paper to be the best move at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't see why he should go out on loan. Not only did he not thrive on a previous loan, but he is essentially perfect for the 3rd striker role, in that he's young, hungry and currently full of confidence, but probably quite realistic about his likely playing time. He has just shown he can score against a very good goalkeeper, and get into good positions against a PL backline. I thought he was great against Barrow, but I will admit I doubted him seeing his name on the teamsheet yesterday, and then when he scooped over from a pretty good opportunity I expected him to maybe wilt and not get into the game. But he completely proved me wrong, and but for El Ghazi not lifting his head up he'd have had two and we'd be in the draw for the next round. I'm ready to see more of what he can do when fed by our best players, rather than what he can do on loan in League 1. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Maybe I'm wrong as obviously I've never followed the Man United youth setup but didn't Rashford explode out of relative obscurity? That's who Archer reminds me of, just in how far and how fast he has risen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Am I the only one who thinks his name is cool AF as well? Sounds almost super hero ( Think Clarke Kent ) or super agent 007 ish. Plus the obvious Archery and target synonyms along with his position and lethality.

Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing earlier. Dunno, it just has a nice melody to it when said out loud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 This has Gabby mk 2 written all over it . Gets a chance out of the blue and takes it with both hands. Seems like he needed that growth spurt of turning from kid to man to show his full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He made that header look so natural that it looked to easy, a great bit of skill and reminded me of a certain Mr Andy Gray when he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
