nepal_villan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Any reason all these boys are going to the Conference? Would think there are League 1 and 2 clubs that would want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) No idea who they played but we beat someone 6-2 today, presumably was a friendly game for the U18s because of having no league game this weekend.

Doesn't make any sense, why would we do them a favour to give game time to one of their players at the expense of one of our own players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping City have told us they wont activate the buyback fee for Luiz this summer and we've asked them to make that official! Wishful thinking really.

Dunno, just seems strange that they'd let him go; England youth international that they spent money and bent rules to get out of Liverpool a year ago, just doesn't seem like they'd be wanting to give him up.

It’s odd, doesn’t pass the sniff test. Can’t quite figure it out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Interesting that Moulden was referred to on the teamsheet and referenced in the match report on the official site by his actual name rather than 'trialist'. Perhaps an indication that he will be signing up with us. Edited January 17, 2021 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted January 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2021 There is such a quiet efficiency about the club at academy level these days, too young players brought in ahead of rivals, top talents signing contracts players moving out on loan. At times in the past it felt as it everything about the academy was an after thought and disjointed from the main part of the club. Its going largely unnoticed in the football world but our club is being run very very differently to the past. I really think we will see this reflected in the players over the next few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Seen someone on twitter say he's a 17 year old kid signing his 1st professional deal, money like he's never earned before, "made it" and he's turned up in a suit looking smart and professional Makes a very good impression without knowing anything about the lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Young and Kesler both playing for the U18s today. Looks like Shakpoke is still injured, but Abldeen-Goodridge returns to the bench. Edited January 30, 2021 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Because Chrisene played yesterday, Ealing has had to move to left back today, and Kesler has took his place at right back. Bradley Young has just scored to make it 0 - 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
