Those are the ones that make first teams at a very tender age. You don't have to go that far back. Rooney and Milner were both either 16 or 17 when they broke into their respective first teams. Rooney was a phenomenon when he first came on the scene. He lit the Euros up in 2004 and sealed that move to Old Trafford. Be nice if Barry can realise that precocious talent for us. Who knows , he could turn out to be the catalyst to a great new era for Aston Villa. We have to believe that the proverbial corner will somehow be turned . I'm always the optimist when it comes to this great club. If we can retain our Premiership status and strengthen wisely, I firmly believe we can become a force once again in English football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I think we just need to let him develop in the youth team for a while before we can make any grandiose statements of his future career with us. Work hard, train hard, learn like a sponge and hopefully we will seen him in a senior Villa shirt at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 29 days. I think it's a big ask. Incidentally, Barry is five years younger than RHM. Barry will still be a teenager after the World Cup in Qatar. We can afford to be patient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was beginning to show it during his loan spells before the lockdown, what do you think of RHM, OBE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, I haven't seen all that much of him, he's quick and he can finish, but he seems to be almost permanently injured. I don't think he'll be here after the end of his contract, I'm sure he'll make a career for himself somewhere, but probably at a lower level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Be stunned if he gets any first team minutes this season. Physically not there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Borja will be gone after 30/6, Wesley will still be injured, Hogan I've no idea if his loan at SHA will be extended and if he can be re-registered. So that leaves us with Samatta, Davis (until he inevitably picks up another injury) Vassilev and Archer maybe. And on the flanks our options are pretty much N/A. Hope Barry is at least part of the match squad in some games because we will be forced to rotate heavily due to the dangerous game schedule.

Yes the 2 you mention would qualify.....both had strength at a young age, to accompany that undoubted talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a note to this - when Wayne Rooney scored that free kick against Arsenal for Everton that catapulted him to stardom, Louie hadn't been born. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messi11 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 he's got a great chance of making his debut , will be on the bench a few times you would think over the remaining games. Maybe play him on the wings to bed him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe play him on the wings to bed him in Be interesting to see if any of the younger players make the bench - I've tried picking a matchday 20 and couldn't find room for Jota, Drinkwater or Taylor - I don't think it'll be as easy for some of the youth players to make the bigger bench as some people seem to think. The youngest player we've used so far this season is Jacob Ramsey who made two appearances from the bench - the next youngest is Douglas Luiz - Barry is two years younger than Ramsey and I really think that it's too early for us to be putting him on the bench in games that are as important as these.
