daggy_333 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 May or may not be football related but Derrick Williams isnt very happy on twitter Any idea what about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Nope, none. He's away with his mates so it is more than likely just summat stupid rather than football / Villa related.

Wes Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure it's to do with the Waterford Hurling team losing in their match today. From his previous tweets I would suggest he was in the crowd. Edited June 2, 2013 by Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pembers Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Saw this pop up on my twitter feed and wondered why the hell they were being let go; Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial7m Contracts of Graham Burke, Derrick Williams, Michael Drennan, Samir Carruthers and Daniel Johnson are set to expire. #AVFC Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More But then this appeared; Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial8m But all five young lions have been offered extensions. #AVFC Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More I would assume they're all gonna sign?

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 You'd hope so, all 5 seemingly have futures in the game. Looks like Carruthers isn't as in the wilderness as we thought. He's ready and if he wasn't in the plans at all because of some misdemeanor 12 months ago he'd be let go you'd think. Lesson learned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The only one I'm disappointed about is Daniel Johnson, he's got really good ability on the ball but obviously, more than that is needed at this level, I'm sure he'll have a good career though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Andre Green has got his scholarship a year early at 15. Great effort, talented and seems to be a really decent lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Looks like Corey Taylor got his scholarship as well. Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is already playing well above his age group and will (if not already) follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Is Drennan considered a prospect? I know he finished top scorer in the NextGen but other than that is he any good? Better prospect than Delfouneso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 He is also a professional, they've offered him a new deal so clearly like him. He is a goalscorer and a decent one at that but I doubt he will be good enough to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Williams might go elsewhere seeking 1st team opportunities. Kendrick has said as much on twitter recently as he is stuck behind Baker, Bennett, Stevens and Clark who can all play in the same positions.

Con Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 HARRY LEWIS has taken the first step towards living the dream as a professional footballer after being invited to join the Academy at top Premiership side Aston Villa. Harry is a 16-year-old student at The Cotswold School in Bourton-on-the-Water and has represented the school, district and county in a wide range of sports. But from next month, when he starts a two-year scholarship at the Villa Academy at Bodymoor Heath on the outskirts of Birmingham, he will focus solely on football. Harry’s father, James said: “A life as a professional sportsman has been, and remains, my son’s dream, and this is certainly the first step on the ladder towards that goal.” As well as praising Harry’s footballing skills, the coaches at Villa have cited Harry’s intelligence and demeanour off the pitch and his ability to bounce back from setbacks. They have also been impressed by Harry’s commitment to his GCSEs amidst training, travelling and trialling. Lewis senior added: “We feel strongly that Harry’s success is in no small measure the result of the encouragement, enthusiasm and expertise of The Cotswold School’s PE department and we’d like to take this opportunity to pass on our gratitude to the staff on a job well done.” Will Morgan, principal of The Cotswold School, said: “Harry is not only a highly talented sportsman but a young man who has shown focus, resilience and perseverance to reach his goals. “He is an inspiration to his peers and a fantastic sporting ambassador for young people in the Cotswolds. Our school is delighted for Harry and we greatly look forward to hearing about his progress at the Academy.” http://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/sport/latestsport/10464592.YOUTH_FOOTBALL__Why_Aston_Villa_are_wild_about_Harry/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
