useless Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I was mispeliing it as 'Afoku' last week, which perhaps sounds worse. Hopefully he can get a deal with us, if it is him then he must be doing something right to have come on off the bench for three games in a row.

If he scored in the 2nd minute the score would read Afoku 2’ ️ (I know that’s not his name really though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do know that they won 8-0 today as posted on one of the players' instagrams, not sure who they played might have been Reading U16s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Barry didn't have much of a pre-season, didn't go to the training camp in Wales and as far as I can tell didn't play in any of the U23s' friendly games and then wasn't involved in the first two games of the season, so presumably was injured and is now returning to match fitness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 We know he's signed but Bogarde now has an official anouncement... Aston Villa is pleased to confirm the signing of Dutch defender Lamare Bogarde from Feyenoord. The 16-year-old - who has already represented his country at youth level - goes straight into the Academy set-up at Bodymoor Heath. Bogarde can play at centre-back or as a holding midfielder, with Villa beating several Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A clubs to his signature. Upon Bogarde’s arrival, Academy manager Mark Harrison said: "We are delighted to welcome Lamare to the club. “He is a player with immense potential and the commitment that will go in to fulfilling that starts now.” The line-up at the bottom of report for the Reading game on the offical site also confirms that it was Afoka on the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 His name's Chisom Afoka, he came through Albion's academy, I found a tweet from back in July that was someone suggesting that he might have turned down a scholarship deal with them, and given that he's now playing for us, I guess that could well have been the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
