OutByEaster? Posted March 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2022 Does anyone yet have any idea who Carney's representatives are? I've not been able to find any information about an agency that represents him and I'm increasingly convinced it might be his church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm sure someone said it's a person who represents him and no one else so it's not a super agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gerrards stated aim of raising the age of the squad, and the nominal game time given to our youngsters its difficult to see Carney signing on for another 3 years (assuming game time is the issue - not £££) I was surprised TIm Iroegbunam signed an extension to be honest I am impressed by any kid who fancies his chances.....belief and self confidence plays a huge part in making the grade. It strikes me the kid has the right ingredients and has backed himself, so signed a new contract. Edited March 24, 2022 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've turned JJ into a prem league CM who starts most games, if Carney was as good as him he'd be getting in the line up too. The manager picks players who he thinks will win matches and although I'm sure consistency and experience also come into play, you do have to wonder whether he's ready yet. If they don't think he's ready but someone else does that's just football sometimes. He could be the next Ravel Morrison as much as the next Grealish He's two years younger than JJ so I might be wrong here but he's a year ahead of his curve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know nothing in reality. I’m as guilty as the next man in sometimes being over protective of the club and jumping to conclusions. There’s not really been any noise from Chuck or the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'll just wait until he plays and shows enough for me to get interested.....in the meantime, he's just another academy player, trying to make the grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but thought Gerrard said very recently that there was no breakthrough on contract talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much help but someone in a Twitter thread insinuating his insight came with authority says he has an agent that is making power plays. I lack the interest and reach to assist any further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I don’t watch German football to know the answer, but will Carney start for Dortmund If he goes? Or would that take them selling Bellingham first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete guess work....but "if"..... 1) they sell Bellingham this summer for big bucks. 2) they will be looking for the next player they can get for peanuts (relative peanuts), develop and sell on. 3) Maybe thats Chuka.

messi11 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Dortmund will pay 15-20 Mil for Carney I reckon. They know he will be worth a fortune in the future . Its sad news but we must move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like this probably, it’s their business model to keep players only a couple of years to maximize profits. I bet they regret agreeing to that release clause for Haaland btw.

You probably won't see him for the first half of the season, other than the odd cup game. They'll let him settle and get used to the way things are over there and slowly introduce him in to the side. He won't play as much as Bellingham did in his first season as Bellingham is just a freakish talent - only 4 months older than Carney and already played over 100 career games. I'd imagine something approaching 1500 minutes over the course of his first season, and if he is then deemed good enough, they'll probably look to give him more time. Dortmund usually only sell one big player every season, Sancho last summer, most likely Haaland this summer. Summer 2023 could be Bellingham then.

No he wont Said a couple of pages back dortmund are a bit of a myth with this developing youth stuff They've got Bellingham in their team at the moment (and doing really well) and then they have a striker called moukoko who is really highly rated and had a crazy record at youth level but that's about it, they're not bringing kids through, definitley not got youngsters or their bench every week like we have For that reason I don't buy in to the link too much, I think it's lazy Edit - I had a look, if I say moukoko is a star potential striker, one of the highest potential strikers in Europe... He's played 168 mins in the league this season, started 1 game and made 10 sub appearances Edited March 25, 2022 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already attracting interest from the top clubs before Dortmund got him. Dortmund needed to sweeten the deal to get him to come to them.

Reivax_Villa Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think that we could sway him. But it’s all up in the air at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
