MrBlack Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Can only see two scenarios where Louie gets time this season, neither of which are likely... 1, we go on a decent run, pull clear and have the pressure off us for the last couple of games. 2, we go on a terrible run and we are relegated with a few games to spare It is highly likely the end of our season will be a bloodbath coming down to the last game against West Ham, which is no environment to be throwing a 16 year old into. Injuries to current first team aside, I doubt well see him im the PL this season. Glad to see he has the belief in himself that that is his aim though.

Vassilev has played and from what I gather he's more of a midfielder than attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on all fronts but if he’s rifling in a ton of goals for the U23s and/or we pick up an injury or two he might get himself a spot on the bench and then you never know.

MrBlack Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 An injury to Davis is probably likely, but then I expect Baston will be the cover for Samatta and we'd stick with one up top. A further injury would be some serious bad luck, and I refuse to believe even we could be that unlucky. Who knows, if it did happen it could be one of those blessing in disguise things.

Davis is already injured so yeah, quite likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turns out to be the second coming of Pele and scores 5 goals off the bench in the last 5 games to secure our survival. ...and gets a decent haircut.

avfc1982am Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I wouldn't be adverse to seeing him in any of the matchday squads. If he's good enough get him in and around the older lads asap. His enthusiasm may just kick some of the others up the arse to not be outdone. Having another lad who supports the club on the pitch would be a wonderful thing especially if he makes his debut with Grealish Captaining. I'd like to see that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it may have been precautionary but him grabbing his hamstring doesn’t bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) So the kid is 16, is a villa fan, and @sir_gary_cahill is yet to proclaim him as the next George Best. For that reason alone I think he will be a success here Sorry SGC. I Love you really. Edited February 6, 2020 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
