Popular Post Villan4Life Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 After going to the Villa U23 vs Reading U23 last night, 16 year old Kaine Kesler reminded me in style of play of a young Ashley Cole but on the right side! He has good potential!!! He was in my view Villa u23's best player on the pitch last night vs Reading and linked up really well with Tyreik Wright a number of times. Kesler bombed forward whenever he could always trying to make things happen and looks to have a very good attitude too. Definitely will be following how he does! Has anyone else seen him play? thoughts 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalVilla Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I've never seen him play but I've heard he is a good prospect. I assume from your comparison he was playing right back. Was he quick? I see he's listed at 1.75m so not that tall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I saw him at right back for the u18s, he looked good, solid, no frills, just did his job and got on with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played right back! very quick, likes to dribble past players and has a good cross on him. In my view can potentially play anywhere across the right side Right Back, Right Wing Back or as a Right Winger! But at this moment i feel for his development he will progress best as an attacking right back. Increasing/Improving the defensive parts of his game, also decision making when he is bombing forward as few times he had to play it back or to Wright as had 2 Reading players on him and ran out of options... This happened few times last night. But an exciting prospect he has good potential. Edited March 3, 2020 by Villan4Life 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sounds like exactly the kind of player Purslow was talking about. Hope he makes it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This u23 side are u23 in name only. We've shipped out anyone even approaching that age, and this current crop are basically an u19 side playing in an u23 league. Which bodes well for their future as it should speed up their development and get them ready for the 1st team quicker than they ordinarily would. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks like we're more willing to throw them in the deep end and be a little more realistic about how good they are. It's very important for players to be tested and we'll see if they have the gumption to prove themselves. If not, we can move them on 2 or 3 years earlier and save ourselves time/effort.
