thabucks Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 See Sean Kimberley has reportedly left ... the revamp continues ... Quote Kimberley becomes the latest high profile departure from Villa Park following the exits of seven senior scouts in September. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/exclusive-aston-villa-academy-manager-16149534.amp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 McKirdy another let go. Don't think ive seen a cull of young players on this scale from us before. You'd wonder is there a major overhaul of our development side of things and is this directive coming from Pitarch and or Smith. We've never been as ruthless as this. Admittedly i don't think any of those kids probably had what it took anyway. Smith, from how he worked and Brentford and they way they have of developing a specific type of player, maybe has an idea of the way our youth system needs to go - for the better.

Mazrim Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think, from now on, if players get to 20 and are not considered a possible first team squad member, they'll start getting moved on to make space. I think that's fair enough. We'll be asking a lot more from our Academy in the coming years I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtend4life Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I think it makes sense letting younger lads with high potential play at an older age group whilst also (hopefully) being taught the principles and style of football that is the same as the first team. Also, being loaned out when it is deemed necessary for their improvement; something I think we have missed the boat on somewhat. On a side note, it's always irked me that the local talent pool in the Midlands is quite evenly spread between the clubs academies, especially in the last ten years or so. Hopefully with the above being implemented, youth scouting and identifying players with an actual football model in mind will maybe give us an edge in attracting the best that local talent has to offer.

Hornso Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I know we've heard about 8 or so academy products that have been released, but has anyone heard about Jack Clarke, Callum Rowe or Easah Suliman? I believe they are out of contract at the end of the year unless they have been extended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 8, 2019 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2019 So after the recent cull, the only player within that target age bracket who wasn't released but who also hasn't made the step up to senior side is Easah Suliman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
