HanoiVillan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) EDIT: Definitely deleting the gag I see I'm the third person to make. What a top performance from the lad, it made me so happy for him. Just couldn't have a better evening.

Like JJ he looked comfortable on the wing as well. Yep . Very good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just imagine if that was your kid..... I bet he is going to hug that ball all the way home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Probably makes the bench Saturday now with Wes off and Ollie possibly still injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I know it's "only Barrow" but my god those finishes were beautiful. A natural finisher, composed and confident in front of goal. What an absolute dream for him. He's come out of basically nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 That 2nd was absolutely stunning. Commentators would wet their pants if Bruno Fernandes was running in at the keeper and produced that finish. What a full debut! Good on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidolon Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Didnt get to watch the game unfortunately but the highlights looked fantastic, that finish on the second was exquisite. Get him out on loan or onto the bench for a few games I reckon, kid could be something a bit special on that evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 What a moment for him and what a potentially vital moment in his Villa career. He could end up being our 3rd choice striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 What do we think? Keep him around the first team squad until January or Loan him out now hopefully to a League 1 side. I'd worry about going to a Championship side where he wouldn't get enough game time or would be in a relegation scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as an option off the bench for us now Wesley is off and Davis is injured would be best but then I could see him playing for a team like Derby who are short of players. It's exciting times again to be Villa fan after the little Jack wobble for a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Might be best to Loan him out until January, then Loan Davis out from Jan and keep Archer around for the second half of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I think with Archer, JPB and Ramsey I forget that 19/20 is young for an adult. Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Haaland have skewed people’s minds that if you arnt amazing at 20 you never will be. Most lads develop physically into a man from this age onwards. They are still scrawny/gangly but as they are pros are still fit and strong. Archer looks a little bit stocky and based on that performance against the a poor league 2 side will be a league 1 player at worst. His finishing was ice cold and I hope he gets a prem appearance at some point this season if he doesn’t get out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
