He's just made his first team debut, is just about to play in a final with his age group, is at one of the most progressive academies currently in the country and has a 2 year contract.... I'd say not very seriously! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 My German co-worker who is a massive Dortmund supporter said if they want him, they will get him. They do have an amazing track record of signing young stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadridVilla Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Don_Simon said: How seriously are people taking this supposed interest from Dortmund or City? It's paper talk. Some bright journo in Germany has seen a good young English player and decided they should run a story that they're going to Dortmund like Sancho and Bellingham. Then throw in a few extra clubs to make it seem like they're wanted across Europe. Could also be agents meddling and trying to get Carney in the first team more regularly. If there's rumours he'll be off to start for Dortmund it might force our hand to give him some more game time. Either way it's a non-story, which is par for the course for a paper like Bild.

He spoke well and came across as a very mature young man as his performance suggested, didn’t hear to much from Bidance as he coughed and looked away for the majority of it He was quite articulate too, but the frog in his throat hampered him, a bit. They didn't look fazed in the slightest....its just stamina & strength building, now. I think they can hold there own and develop.

Gidman, Little, Cowans, Shaw, Walters, Daley also. this youth might be as productive as the 72 one which beat Liverpool in the final where we had Little, Gidman and Bobby Macdonald. Also Jimmy Brown who made his debut at 15 and captained Villa as a teenager. He can now barely walk. Edited May 21, 2021 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
