ferguson1 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Wonder if his brother Caleb at Northampton is worth a look? Don’t know anything about him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 He's such a big lad in comparison to the players he's up against. He's the kind of player you could bring up to the first team a bit younger due to his size. Seems a bit cocky which I like. Again, you'd hope this would mean he wouldn't be overawed by the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m sure that’s the case with Villa having a shiny and new training facility. Well Ollie Stevenson, has a bit of a record with Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted April 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) My missus just shouted to me is that Troublemaker playing for the Villa again tonight?

Still, probably closer than most pro commentators will get to pronouncing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously due to them having had a better youth set up but still. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any truth to it, Villa would be right onto it securing him with a professional contract no doubt. They also have there own youngsters at there clubs, if he leaves he knows he will be at the bottom of the pile, he also knows he's coming on leaps and bounds here and he can't be to far away from making some first team appearances.

mallett Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Quote Didn’t he quite recently sign a pro contract? The Guardian article mentions that he signed a pro contract for a 3 year deal (the maximum allowed) on his 17th birthday. This shows how the current board at the club are on a different level from previous regimes. Dan Crowley went to Arsenal before he signed a pro contract. It meant Arsenal paid very little for him despite him being an incredible prospect at the time. Crowley could be a warning for our promising youth players of how having your head turned by one of the big six doesn’t necessarily lead to great things. On the other hand the current regime need to see some of our youngsters establish themselves as premier league stars for their long term strategy of looking to be the chosen destination of the best young talent in the Midlands to come to fruition. Villa’s recent track record isn’t great. Jacob Ramsey is a start but he could still go either way whether that be establishing himself as a premier league player or becoming a lower league player. Some of the big 6 have a better record on bringing youth through which is something we strategically need to change. As such I think that the current regime will be desperate for Carney to succeed and will fight tooth and nail to keep him. It is not just about him as a player but about the whole vision and strategic direction of the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
