The_Steve Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He's more of a winger/inside forward than an actual striker in the mould of Archer - who, I might add, only scored 4 goals in 26 games in the National League before finding his feet at Preston. I wonder if people would cut him more slack if he was South American. I just find it baffling how quick his potential is written off, and it's got nothing to do with him also supporting the club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He's a bit slender so just give him some time. I still think it will click for him in about a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 His current supposed decline and limited future would not have been a problem if people on forums such as this hadn’t got their bits in a tangle years ago when we signed a young player from BARCELONA who was also a VILLA fan !!! The messiah had arrived. He was never going to live up to that hype and is now unfortunately paying the price. Perhaps it would be better to close this thread and just let him get on with trying to develop as a young professional with a great deal of promise without the interference of some of Birmingham’s finest football experts on Villa talk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see how people giving their opinions on a forum, however misguided, are preventing him from developing as a footballer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 He's on for the last minute, it's not much time, but I think it's a good sign that they've got him involved after only signing for them yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 If he wasn’t in Barcelona’s kids team a few years back, this thread wouldn’t be on the first 10 pages. The English Ryan Gauld. He’ll probably find his way in some nondescript lower league European team. I’m not been harsh but bloody hell you’d swear it was our own brother or son the way we go on here at times. He has had zero impact in 3 loan moves so far. Leagues significantly lower than his parent club are in. Archer was an absolute beast for Boro at the weekend and lit it up at Preston last year. The difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our fans think our kids are ready but I’m glad the club smash that out of the park. Look at where Doyle-Hayes, Lyden, Vassiliev, Hepburn - Murphy have ended up, amongst others. We’ve had a fair level of incompetence at this club in the last few years but im safe in the knowledge that those we released, we made the right choice.

AV82 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I tuned into the game tonight and saw him give the ball away twice under hardly any pressure. Literally passed it to an opposition player twice in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
