If he does really well over 18 months we will know we can rely on him in the first team squad, hopefully he moves a bit more inside as our team under Gerrard isn't going to play with true wingers He's going to have a year left on his deal next summer. He was making first team appearances at the start of the season and was ahead of Chuk (his best mate at the club). We'll have another Carney situation on our hands if we keep him down in the championship all through next year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If he keeps playing the way he does now, big clubs will be coming in for him very soon. Extending JPBs contract should be a very high priority if it isn’t already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Clearly a very talented kid. The only frustration is he seems to be a winger rather than a 10 and that doesn’t suit our system! Hope we can somehow integrate him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can decide if he's ready to get more first team minutes or go on Loan again (probably to a Prem club or a team like Norwich who will win the Championship).

Gerrard played Ryan Kent as one of his two no 10s and they are not too disimilar as players at all. In fact i would say Bidace doesnt rely on pace as much as Kent 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably look to sign him up and then loan him out to a newly promoted PL team, much like the way that Chelski have managed Gallagher. Let him go somewhere and be a starter in the PL for a season. Having said that he could come back and get in the mix with Buendia, Coutinho, Bailey and Chuki if he continues to perform at the level he has started at - he was apparently MOTM last night.

HalfTimePost Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I reckon Ryan Kent has been mentioned more on the Villa part of Villa Talk than any other player that hasn't been a transfer target or an actual player of the club. Quite the feat in a few short months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Chuk it was touch and go whether he'd sign his last one or go to Leipzig though. Really hope hes as excited by the project and prospect of playing for Gerrard as he should be. Certainly appears to be applying himself for Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Almost like a competition between Archer, JPB, Davis and KKH for who is beloved the most. I'll never forget what Tammy did for us in the promotion year. So can totally understand how fans can feel for a loan signing. Even ones that are overlooked. Reina coming in and us staying up. Can only imagine how difficult it was for him moving and lockdown hitting. Then us steeling ourselves and we stayed up. How we managed to do that is still amazing. Best of luck to JPB and all our other players on loan. I hope they grow a lot and impress back in pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
