lexicon Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Surprised he didn't have his own thread yet - ah well. Thought he played very well against Liverpool and I can see why we had to fight for his signature. Reads the game very well, comfy on the ball and looked very assured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khizzy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 5 minutes ago, lexicon said: His nephew Talking of Winston, my mate prank called him back when he was at Chelsea back in around 2003. I somehow sourced his phone number (don't ask me how) and he phoned him posing as a representative of Small Heath named Dave Andrews and asked if he would sign for them. He was actually open to the idea of doing it and started going off about how no one respected him and that everyone hated him at Chelsea! My memory is quite hazy so don't remember much else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He seemed to be one of the players at already quite a high level in many attributes and also physically strong. Looks a great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He looked good today, not out if place. Hopefully he will get stronger over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a notion that many young talents will target Villa, after the Liverpool game. It certainly won’t do us any harm. These talented kids generally have plenty of options, the Liverpool game will have moved us high on the preferred list for many of them. Couple that to the ever upgrading of the training facilities, the general all round feel good factor on and off the pitch and the focus in the backroom now definitely shifted towards youth, I’d say the future looks pretty rosey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really serious about the academy side of the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely Dave. We've done well behind the scenes to create the young vibrant youth setup that we currently witness and it sends a good signal out to any young, inspiring lad who wants to join our great academy. Hats off to all those involved to have got it to this stage and well done to Lamare on his new contract! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) McGinn suspended, Hourihane on loan, Lansbury isn't registered, Sanson isn't signed yet and Lamare has been somewhat of an ever-present for the U23s. Does he make the bench for Newcastle? I very much doubt he gets on the pitch but could be a nice experience for him after a decent performance at Liverpool. Is there anybody else ahead of him in the pecking order from the U23s? I know he's very young but somebody will make the bench that doesnt normally. Although assume if he played Vs Liverpool he wasn't near the XI in the way maybe Chukweumeka was who I suppose is another option for bench call up Edited January 21, 2021 by HalfTimePost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserves a spot on the bench for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
